Wiring DZ-1008A for turnout indication with DZ-2500?

Don,

I made  modules using the DZ-1008 to power homemade dwarf signals with 5mm led's so I could see the switch position using DZ-1000's.  The Z-stuff web site has schematics available.

I tied the Red-Blue wires together  (14VAC).  The White and Grey wires are positive for the Red, Green leds.  Use the black wire as common for these also.  Remember to install resistors to cut the voltage.

Thank you very much Bruce. However, you noted you are using the DZ1000 switch motor. They are wired different than the DZ-2500 as the DZ1000 uses the yellow and green wire and the DZ-2500 does not.

I am using the DZ-2500 which only has a hot (R) and a ground (B) with a white data wire that runs between the switch motor and the switch controller.

The instructions on the DZ site state what I wrote in my first post.

It almost appears that the relay does not cycle as only either the white or gray wire from the 1008 is energized and does not switch. 

I did connect the blue wire to the constant hot.

Just for the fun of it I hooked up a DZ1000 and all works great.

Very frustrating. It is like the 1008 does not work with a 2500.

Tomorow I will email DZ.

Here's a wiring diagram from Z-Stuff for connecting a dwarf signal to a DZ-1008 and DZ-2500. I think it is different from what you describe above. There are more of these diagrams for connecting different things under 'Applications' on the menu to the left of the drawing. There are several more for the DZ-2500 and DZ-1008.

Thank you very much RTR12. You are right, it is a different logic.

The yellow or green wire from the DZ-2500 is now involved!!

Thanks again.

You're most welcome, hope you get things going.
