PARALLEL Terminals 10 11 NOTES 1 The train magnet must stop between the pair of sensors This will allow the train to stop at the same location from either direction When the train accelerates it will ignore the very next sensor that it passes over so it must stop before reaching the 2nd sensor One sensor can be used for a single in between stop however the train will stop at a different location for each direction It will decelerate and stop after passing over the sensor 2 Sensors have no polarity 3 Additional station stops can be done by adding additional pairs of sensors all wired in parallel There is no limit to the number of stops that can be done 1 2 3 4 8 9 10 11 12 13 StationMaster 25 Voltage INPUT Common Ground Output Voltage to Track Output Voltage to Track Sensor Inputs 5V Common Ground Electrical Details For reference only The locations of the common grounds could be useful for some wiring harnesses Non Documented Features The StationMaster contains a software controlled micro controller Additional customer driven features special functions and enhancements have been added to the software which are not documented in this manual A current list and description of these features is available online Please go to for additional info RRConcepts com Common Ground Sensor Input Common Ground Sensor Input Common Ground Sensor Input RRConcepts com 1 2 3 4
