B15nac Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Hello This is probably a silly question but I'm a bit confused I've just bought my first point motor it's a dcc concepts cobalt classic an I'm not sure how to wire it up an get it working? Do I need a Dcc concepts switch or can any switch be OK? There's lots of outlets on the motor but I'm not sure what to use. I would like a led to light up when it's switched is this possible? Is there a simple wiring diagram available for it? I'm not very good with Electrics. Thanks for your time Regards Neil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 (edited) Any Double Pole Double Pole (DPDT) switch will operate the motor. You will also need ideally a 12 volt Regulated DC power supply. For a Cobalt Classic, connect the 12v DC to the top pair of terminals on the switch. Then link top left tab to bottom right tab and top right tab to bottom left tab. Connect the middle tabs to the point motor terminals 1 & 2 on the Cobalt (Or 1 and 8 depending on the motor).
