For DC layouts. Operates a train slowly around a loop with a single station. Stops the train at the station on each loop using infra-red sensors. Train can be either be set to depart only clockwise/or anticlockwise, or can be set to alternate on each run. The BLOCKsignalling Station Stop Module (SSM1) is based on the Simple Automatic Shuttle SAS2-IR which can to automate a DC model train running backwards and forwards along a single length of track. The SSM1 can further operate trains around a loop with a station, stopping the trains at the station and changing the direction at each departure (if required). At each end of the track, or at the station, an Infra-Red sensor is fixed below the track to detect the train which stops when the module switches off the track power. The train waits without power until the track current is switched back on and the train then automatically starts travelling again. Depending on the settings, this can be in alternate directions on each run. This action is repeated at each end of the line or at the station stop. The module is fully programmable, and can be to selected to fixed or random waiting time at one or both ends of the line, and can also be programmed for the maximum waiting time. Each of the relays are rated at 10A for long life (traction current is typically 0.5A to 1A). Power Supply: The controller is designed for use with a DC power supply of between 8V and 25V, or an AC power supply of between 8V and 16V. Where there is a choice, the recommended power supply is 12V DC. If the track power is above 8V, this can be used to power the module.
