Electro frog diamond crossing

[Spraymanandy]

Hi

Can any one tell me how to wire a peco electro frog diamond  crossing  that as two separate  power inputs (up and down lines) for dc.  I am  using peco point motors  but would buy something  that was more suitable.  Would a dual frog juicer  work?

Thanks

Andy

Andy, 

 

A diamond doesn't need any point motors, no moving parts. You will probably need a DPDT switch to control the polarity. Check out Brian Lambert's site: https://www.brian-lambert.co.uk/Electrical_Page_3.html

Hi

I'm  aware that diamond  doesn't  need a point motor  i was thinking that the electro frog point before the diamond  could be wired to change polarity  or can i just use isolating  fishplates on the diamond frog

Aha!  Apologies, I think PJ has it covered, failing that I can recommend Brian's site to you.  He also hangs out here and will chime in as required.
