PROBLEM WITH MTH REAL TRAX SWITCH

Alex MAlex MOGR Forum Member SUPPORTING MEMBERDIGITAL SUBSCRIBER

Hi everyone I'm having a problem with one of my 042 real trax switches.

Here's the problem, the switch will not throw either right or straight with the DCS control

but if I roll a car through either side the anti derailing works,  and throws the switch either way.

I have extra switch motors and have changed them out and the same thing keeps happening.

Switches are powered from track power and the track was powered to 18 volts. I hope it's not

another bad switch.PLEASE I need some help with this.

Thanks, Alex

Hey Buddy,

 

Try powering the switch directly from the transformer with a set of test leads. Also, put the the two leads, one from the common side and one from the positve side, directly to the screws on the side of the switch. See if it works that way. Make sure and turn the layout off first, so the switch isn't getting power from the layout. Use a separate transformer for the test.

 

If you have any questions call me, and we'll try and work it out over the phone.
