TT-Turntable
GB
Fig. 1
The turntable is constructed to be built into the layout and is designed for use with the TT model track system (Pilz Track System). Using the Tillig converter
track 83132 it can equally well be used for the standard TT track system. The turntable is electrically operated and can be operated remotely by the turntable
switch 6910, which is included. The switch will fit into the FLEISCHMANN diagrammatic control:
Fig. 2
Installation: For installing the turntable you will need a hole with 210 mm diameter in your layout board. It will not be necessary to fasten it down, as the
turntable will be stopped at fastened tracks. If the turntable has to be laid on top of the layout, a base of polystyrene (or similar) should be laid underneath.
In this case entry and exit ramps 25 mm high must be created for the tracks. The turntable 6680 with its 15° divisions can have up to a maximum of 24 track
exits clipped in.
Connecting the motor of the Platform: The flat volume cable must be connected to the corresponding wires on the switch, if necessary with the 6941
connector. The black and white wire from the switch must go to the A.C. connection on the transformer – also for digital operation.
Rotating the turntable by hand, see fig. 11 and 12.
Fig.3
Connecting current to the platform: The yellow lines of the flat volume cable of the turntable should be connected to the clips for the D.C. on the trans-
former/controller. If operating the layout digitally, then the twin yellow wires should not be connected to the transformer, but connected to the track terminals
of the controller.
Fig. 4
Controlling the connecting track: With this turntable switch the platform can be turned either to the left or right by means of the black switch. The platform
stops automatically at each track. A continuous action through to your chosen position is possible if the switch is pushed into the direction of travel to its
outer limit until the position is reached. On reaching this position, it is stopped by pressing in the opposite direction.

Feeding the connecting track with power: In conjunction with the turntable switch 6910, each connecting track of this "thinking" turntable can be
selected to be fed with power from the turntable bridge. If the turntable switch 6910 is turned to the position marked " ", then the connecting track which
is lined up with the turntable bridge side with the attendant's cab will be fed with power. If the turntable switch is turned to the position marked " ", then
the connecting track which is lined up with the turntable bridge side without the attendant's cab will be fed with power. With this "comfort" turntable,
then either one or the other track will be fed with power, and never both at the same time. In this way, a loco can be stored on a track without power, an
simultaneously, one located on the track lined up immediately opposite the turntable bridge can still be operated.

Operation of the layout with two, or more, transformers: The turntable area should be controlled by a separate transformer/controller. All lines which
go over into the turntable area should be cut off with two isolating fish plates .
Fig. 8
Operation of the layout with one transformer: It is possible to operate the whole layout with just one transformer/controller. As before all lines to the
turntable area are cut off with two isolating fish plates. Current is fed into the line. The turntable is also fitted with a FLEISCHMANN switch 6904/6924 or
pause switch 6905.
Fig. 9
Extensions: With the Extensions Set 6681 the turntable can be extended to cope with three rail connections.
Fig. 10
The turntable should be placed away from the area of the installed parts. The cover plates are now pulled up by pushing back the spring switch-tongues, and
stuck in the approach track. Every approach track is to be set up opposite a blind section or another approach track.
Fig. 11
Rotating the turntable by hand: Opposite the motor housing, under the turning table, is a small lever. By pressing the lever towards the centre, the drive
gear wheel is withdrawn from the teeth in the outer drive ring releasing the table so that it can be moved manually in the desired direction. When the lever
is released the gear wheel is again enmeshed with the outer-ring. Ensure, however, that the rotating tracks are lined up with the exit tracks .
Fig. 12
Should the turntable not operate, when pressing the switch 6910 simply press the lever slightly to ensure the gear wheel is firmly seated in the drive ring,
which will then start it moving. It will then stop at the next track again.
Fig. 13
Oiling the motor: In order to lubricate the motor, the decking between the rails must be removed from the turntable.
Fig. 14
Just one drop of oil should be put through the holes to lubricate the points as shown. Only use FLElSCHMANN-oil 6599. An applicator needle is located in
the cap of the oil bottle for your use.
Fig. 15
Dismantling the table: Should the turntable not operate, even by moving the hand lever, then it must be dismantled. In this case, remove the decking (see
Fig. 13) and take off the safety circlip on the turntable pivot.
Please Note: Do not lose the circlip! At the opposite ends of the turntable, at least 4 track segments should be taken out (see Fig. 10). The turning bridge
can now be turned and lifted out through these gaps. The contact surfaces near the turntable pivot must then be clean ed. Reconstruction of the turntable is
achieved in reverse order. In the unfortunate instance that the turntable should still not function, please return it to your local dealer or to your supplier or
direct to the FLEISCHMANN Technical Centre.
We reserve all rights to carry out alterations and improvements of all models or items.
