Joining the FasTrack track sections

FasTrack track sections join together easily.

With interlocking roadbed sections and

large rail tabs, the track fits together securely

so you always get good electrical contact.

Refer to Figure 1 to see how to join the track

sections.

1. Line up your two sections of track.

2. Insert the rail tabs into the openings at

the ends of the corresponding rails.

3. Press the sections together until the

interlocking roadbed snaps into place.

Using the track extensions

Three track extensions are included with your switch. Two of the extensions have beveled

roadbed on one side, and the other has no roadbed. The extensions work with the geometry

of the FasTrack roadbed.

To join the switch with a regular section of track, you will need to use an extension with

beveled roadbed. To join the track with another wye, a switch (larger than O36), or a 22.5

degree crossover, you will need to use an extension without roadbed. Refer to Figure 2.

Figure 2. Track extensions

Using two extensions

with roadbed, the

track are spaced

further apart. You

may choose to add

additional straight

sections between

Note!

Using one extension

without roadbed, two

mainlines are joined

by two switches.

The tracks keep 6”

centers.

Note!

Operating the switch

You may operate the switch using the controller or the illuminated switch lamp on the

roadbed. Refer to Figure 3.

To operate the switch using the controller, power up the track, then pull the lever to

the opposite position. Gently press the lever past the end of its path. The lights inside the

controller will change colors to designate the change in switch positions. The red lights

designate the curved path. The green lights designate the straight path.

Track power must be on to operate the switch using the controller.

To operate the switch using the switch lamp, simply rotate the switch lamp. The new

position of the colored lenses on the lamp designate the change in switch positions.

This switch is equipped with a non-derailing feature. The train’s wheels

automatically throw the blades to the proper position when the train travels toward

the converging track. If you experience difficulties, simply use the controller or

switch lamp to throw the switch into the correct position for the train to travel.

Changing the switch stand location

You may choose to position the switch stand either inside or outside the loop of track.

Follow these steps and refer to Figure 4 to change the location of the switch stand.

1. Remove the two screws that secure the small roadbed section to the switch and lift away the

roadbed section.

2. Place the “blades,” or moving rails, in the opposite position to make removing the switch

stand roadbed section easier. For example, if the switch stand is being removed from the

right side, the blades should be set for the train to travel through the left path.

3. Remove the two screws that secure the switch stand roadbed section to the switch. Please

note that these screws are located towards the inside edge of the switch stand roadbed

section. Lift away the switch stand roadbed section.

4. Install the switch stand roadbed section at its new location. The posts on the switch should

be inserted into the holes on the switch stand roadbed section. The pin on the switch stand

mechanism should be inserted into the slot on the switch control arm. Insert the two

screws to secure the switch stand.

5. Install the small roadbed section, securing it in place with the two screws.

Routing the controller cable

You may choose to route the controller cable through the notch on either side of the

roadbed. As illustrated in Figure 5, simply bend the tabs to free the cable and reroute the

wire. Once the cable is in place, bend down the tabs to hold the wire in the channel. Remove

the notch section of roadbed and route the wire through the notch. Snap the notch section of

roadbed on the other side to hide the notch.

Mounting the controllers

If you have multiple switches and controllers, you may choose to snap the interlocking

controller bases together and mount them to your control panel using screws. To join the

controller bases, snap the bases together on a flat surface as illustrated in Figure 6. Drive

screws through the holes in the controller bases to secure the controllers to your layout. We

recommend using No. 4 sheet metal screws.

Numbering your switch controllers

You may choose to number your switch controllers to help you identify the switches on

your layout. Six numbered lenses are included with your switch.

To number a switch, slide the logo lens out from under the left side of the frame, then

insert the numbered lens. Refer to Figure 7.

Powering the switch through a separate power supply

You may choose to connect the switch to a separate power supply to operate the switch

when track power is off or set to a low voltage. This is most beneficial to those operating

in the conventional environment. The switch operates best at 5-18 volts (AC). Follow these

steps and refer to Figure 8 to make the proper connections.

1. Remove the jumper between the TRACK JUMPER and AUX IN terminals on the underside of

the switch. Loosen the terminal screws and slide out the jumper.

We recommend that you save the track jumper in a safe place for reverting to track

power in the future.

2. Connect the Power/A terminal on your power supply to the AUX IN terminal on the switch.

3. Connect the Common/Ground/U terminal on your power supply to the AUX GND terminal

on the switch.

Note!

Connecting the controller

The four controller wires are attached to the terminals on the underside of the switch. The

controller wires were attached at the factory. The connections are as follows: green wire to

THRU, black wire to GND, red wire to OUT, and yellow wire to RSC LIGHTS.

Operating the switch in the TrainMaster Command Control environ-

ment

You may choose to operate the switch in the TrainMaster Command Control environment

using the Accessory Switch Controller (available separately, 6-14182) or the SC-2 Switch

Controller (available separately, 6-22980). Refer to these manuals for additional information.

You may choose to leave the controller attached to operate the switch without your

CAB-1 Remote Controller.

ASC connections

The Accessory Switch Controller is capable of controlling up to four remote switches at a

time. Wire the switches to the terminals on the back of the ASC unit as illustrated in Figure 9.

1. Attach a wire to the THRU terminal on the switch and connect it to the 1T terminal on the

ASC unit.

2. Attach another wire to the OUT terminal on the switch and connect it to the 1O terminal

on the ASC unit.

3. Attach the final wire to the GND terminal on the first switch and connect it to the COMM

terminal to the right of the 1T and 1O terminals on the ASC unit.

4. Repeat this process for any additional switches, filling the empty switch terminals on the

ASC in the same way.

SC-2 connections

The SC-2 is capable of controlling up to five remote switches at a time. Wire the switches to

the terminals on the back of the SC-2 unit as illustrated in Figure 10.

Do not connect your FasTrack switch to the #1 terminal on the SC-2.

1. Attach a wire to the THRU terminal on the switch and connect it to the THROUGH (single

arrow) terminal on the SC-2 unit.

2. Attach another wire to the OUT terminal on the switch and connect it to the OUT (double

arrow) terminal on the SC-2 unit.

3. Attach the final wire to the GND terminal on the first switch and connect it to the COMM

(center) terminal on the SC-2 unit.

4. Repeat this process for any additional switches, filling the empty switch terminals on the

SC-2 in the same way.
