Francis-1310472 Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Hi, If using an HM 2000 controller the turntable should be powered from the uncontrolled sockets via an on/off switch. Can someone point me in the right direction for a wiring diagramme? Francis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

96RAF Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 This is the instructions for wiring the R070 turntable . Also have a read of this, which is aimed at converting to DCC but info is applicable to polarity changing for DC operation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ignore the DCC conversion then and use either the R046 on-off switch from the controlled output of the HM2000 or an R047 on-off-on switch from the DC Aux output.

Francis-1310472 Posted April 14 Author Share Posted April 14 Many thanks. Used the Yellow Switch (Different than Hornby Dublo 3 rail colours) and DC uncontrolled output. Every thing works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

96RAF Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 The product page is wrong in that it shows both R046 yellow and R047 green switches as on-off. The yellow switch should be described as on-on as it says it switches signals colour to colour or a turntable from fwd to rev. The green switch is an isolating switch - on-off, so can only send the turntable one way, which when used with the controlled (speed knob) output uses the controller to switch direction.

96RAF Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 10 hours ago, Francis-1310472 said: Could you point me in the direction for a primer in DCC. You mean a DCC 101. An analogue controller sends a variable 0-12volts DC to the track and any loco thereon will move accordingly. To control several locos you need to isolate track sections and have several controllers to drive trains in their section. With DCC you make the whole track live by way of the 15v track output from a single DCC controller. This output is a kind of AC not DC in that it is a square wave bipolar waveform that carries a zero-one coding that a decoder listens to. Each loco has such a decoder fitted which has an address to which commands are sent from the controller down the rails. Each decoder equipped loco will only respond to commands sent to its address therefore you can have many locos on the same track each under individual control. For further details have a look at Brian Lambert's web site linked to in the general section - handy links sticky post. Other such DCC instructional sites are available.
