I have several Ross Ready switches with DZ2500 controls on them. I want to wire them to be non derailing but I cannot find any information on their website about how to do that.
Can anyone help out ?

From the RCS FAQ's Page
Does your switch have a non-derailing option?
A non-derail option is a function of the switch machine and not the switch itself. Our switches can be operated with many different motors, some of which have the non-derail capability and some that do not. That said, the RossReady switch with motor attached does indeed have that easy to wire option. (dz1000 switch machine instructions)
Sure makes life easier with the derail wired up. And prior to installing the switch I solder on the wires.
Hmm I scanned all through those I though, OK will go look again
Do a forum search for "NON derail and Ross #8 turnouts". There is a diagram in that topic that shows how to wire the DZ-2500 for non derailing. It should help.
CAPPilot nailed it. Here it is; see the second post:

Not surprising since it was his post!
Jim Barrett ran an segment in one of his Back Shop Articles on this topic.

They were using a Z Stuff, DZ 1000 Switch Machine on the Ross switch in this article.
