JST Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Good news indeed! Good idea also having the option of a four output unit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kallaroonian Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 That is good news. But just in case and out of curiosity anyway can someone provide some quick advice about the Digikeijs DR4018 Does it only switch the point or does it also provide a capability to switch the frog polarity. I couldn't easily tell and I've written to them twice but they've decided not to bother even answering..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIMorrison Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 It doesn't switch the frog polarity, you would use the point motor to do this. You can use it for more than just switching points though, just not polarity Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kallaroonian Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Thanks for the info. So that's actually pretty useless against the DCC Concepts 8 point unit that switches the point and does the polarity thing. I thought it was too good to be true and it was !

Not really, because the ADS stock ASSUMES that the point has thrown whereas the switch in the point motor KNOWS it has. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my fiddle yard I am using ZTC accessory decoder and ZTC CDU to power H&M point motors with no problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold ianLMS Posted February 13, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 13, 2020 ADS-8SX's now on Ebay - £95! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/174188409085 Typical as I recently purchased an ADS-8FX and a BlockSignalling Point Direction Indicator board so wont need one now. The combination worked out a bit cheaper than £95 mind! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tocoro Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Hello All, This is my first post to RMWeb. The ADS-8sx appears to be out of stock (again). Does anyone know when it will be available? I intend to use several (from a Roco Z21) to control PECO PL-10 solenoid motors. Thank you! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy SR Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 (edited) Hi Tocoro, Sorry, cannot answer your question, but definitely worth the wait for them to come back in stock. Chinese production appears to be getting back to normal. I tried everything on mine, but nothing was as good as the ADS-8sx.

DCCconcepts Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Please note - the above information is out of date. It was based upon a communication from January! The current batch of ADS-8SX has now sold out from ourselves - some will still be available via our dealers. We do have some ADS-2SX and ADS-4SX left, but they are selling rapidly. Regards. The DCC Concepts Team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tocoro Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Hello All, Thank you for your replies. Good news is I found a dealer who had stock and so have ordered three. It's good to know the ADS is recommended (thank you Andy SR). I will need more in the future. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy SR Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 That's good Tocoro. I have no connection with DCC Concepts (other than as a customer through my local dealer - Coastal DCC) it just works, and their after sales support, if you ever need it, is excellent. I mistakenly wired something up wrong on one occasion and they told me how to sort it, get this: on a Sunday afternoon !!! I am a happy bunny customer. Good luck with your layout.
