face or to activate displays using
the 55077 MTS Display Module.
Hints:
- The signal from the 55075 sets
switches (via 55025 MTS Switch
Decoders) in one direction only:
- Track
section
Switch is set to diverging.
- Track section empty: Switch is
set to straight.
- The 55075 detects power draw.
At least 15 mA are necessary to
activate the 55075.
- Most decoder-equipped locos
draw enough power to activate
the 55075 even when standing.
If a standing loco does not acti-
vate the 55075, turn on the loco
lights or smoke generator to
increase its power draw.
- Dirt between the insulated rail
sections can cause small cur-
rents to flow and erroneously
activate the 55075. Fertilizer and
moisture can create salts that
also conduct currents. Keep
your insulated track sections
clean.
PROGRAMMING THE 55075
Attention! Before you start pro-
gramming, press the Emergency
Stop button to disconnect track
power.
Each 55075 is assigned an
address block of four consecutive
addresses (1-4, 5-8, 9-12, etc.)
(Fig. 2) -- similar to the addresses
of 55025 MTS Switch Decoders.
- If the addresses of a 55075 cor-
respond to those of a 55025
MTS
Switch
respective terminals of the
55025 are triggered.
- If the 55075 is used to display
the location of trains via a 55077
MTS Display Module, the 55077
is programmed to the same
addresses as the 55075.
- You can use several 55070 MTS
Feedback Interfaces and 55075
MTS Train Detection Modules
programmed
addresses.
- If the 55075 is used to provide
feedback to the 55060 MTS
Computer Interface, the con-
tacts are numbered from 129 to
256 (see Fig. 2). Thus, address
block 129 - 132 corresponds to
occupied:
Decoder,
the
to
the
same
contacts 129 a, 129 b to 132 a,
132 b.
To program the 55075 MTS
Train Detection Module:
1. Disconnect the cable (phone-
style connector) to the 55110
MTS Remote Adapter or MTS
Central Station.
2. Remove the four screws on the
bottom of the housing. Open
the housing and select the
address block according to the
code in the table (Fig. 2, 3).
- Connect the cables from the
MTS Central Station or the
55110 MTS Remote Adapter.
- Once the LED is flashing rapidly,
the programming is complete.
3. Remove the cables.
4. Set all DIP switches to OFF.
Close the housing of the MTS
Train Detection Module.
5. Connect the cables for normal
operation.
ID Number
The ID Number is factory pre-set
to ID 2 (Fig. 3). Under most cir-
cumstances, the ID Number
should not be changed. The ID
Number is selected only on the
"master" module.
The first generation MTS Central
Station (8 loco addresses) recog-
nizes two ID Numbers (1-2). The
MTS Central Station Type 2 (23
loco addresses) recognizes 7 ID
Numbers (1-7, 1 and 2 have prior-
ity).
For complex layouts, we recom-
mend selecting ID 1 for the 55060
MTS Computer Interface, ID 2 for
55075 MTS Train Detection Mod-
ules and 55070 MTS Feedback
Interfaces, while all other controls
can receive ID Numbers between
3 and 7.
Specifications
for advanced users
- After a contact is triggered, the
corresponding
blocked for approximately 2 sec-
onds. This prevents multiple trig-
gering due to intermittent power
draw (e.g., dirty tracks).
- Once an emergency stop has
been recognized by the system,
all data is saved by each MTS
Train Detection Module and
released after a restart.
