Инструкции по установке

1. Preparing the Electric Switch Drives (Piko 55271)

Each electric switch drive is designed for integration with Piko turnouts. Ensure your turnouts are compatible before proceeding.

1. Identify the designated mounting points on your turnout for the electric switch drive. These are typically located on the underside or side of the turnout.
2. Securely attach the electric switch drive to the turnout using appropriate fasteners. These fasteners are usually supplied with the turnout itself, not the drive set.
3. Ensure the drive mechanism is aligned correctly with the turnout's moving parts to allow smooth and unobstructed operation. Test the manual movement of the turnout blades to confirm free movement.
4. Route the wires from each electric switch drive neatly to the intended location of the control desk.

2. Connecting the Control Desk (Piko 55262)

The Piko 55262 control desk manages up to four electric switch drives.

1. Position the control desk in a convenient and accessible location on your model railway layout.
2. Connect the wires from each of the four electric switch drives (Piko 55271) to the corresponding terminals on the back of the control desk. Ensure correct polarity if specified by the turnout or drive instructions.
3. Use the provided stickers to label the buttons on the control desk according to the specific turnouts they control. This aids in clear identification during operation.
4. Connect the control desk to a suitable power supply (e.g., Piko power pack, sold separately) as per the power supply's instructions. Ensure the voltage and current specifications are compatible with the control desk and switch drives to prevent damage.

Инструкция по эксплуатации

Once the electric switch drives and control desk are properly installed and powered, you can operate your turnouts.

1. Включить питание: Ensure your model railway power supply is switched on and providing power to the control desk.
2. Select Turnout: Identify the button pair on the control desk corresponding to the turnout you wish to operate.
3. Изменить позицию:
   • Нажмите красная кнопка to move the turnout to one specific position (e.g., straight ahead).
   • Нажмите зеленая кнопка to move the turnout to the alternate position (e.g., diverging route).
4. Observe Movement: The electric switch drive will audibly and visibly move the turnout blades to the selected position.
5. Avoid Continuous Pressing: Do not hold the buttons down continuously after the turnout has reached its end position, as this can strain the motor and potentially cause damage. A brief, firm press is sufficient for activation.
