Pentroller Wiring - Panel Mounted version with Handheld Rover Unit


Recommended Posts

 

I am seeking some advice on the correct wiring of Pentrollers.

I have been donated a Panel mounted Pentroller and a Handheld Rover Unit. The Panel Unit is contained in a plastic box. Inside this box there is a small square circuit board fixed to it's base. The box has 2 white cables which enter the box at the rear. These 2 cabled have been cut off on the outside, Each cable has 4 wires, one red, one black, one blue and one yellow. The 4 wires from one cable are soldered to the small circuit board. The 4 wires from the other have the red and black screwed to a terminal block on this small circuit board whilst the blue and yellow are loose.
The photos below hopefully explain:-

The Panel Mounted Pentroller is in a plastic Box and the Rover Unit alongside.

I believe the small circuit board is associated with the Rover Unit and the cable with the 4 soldered wires is intended to go to a 5 pin DIN plug for the Rover. Is this correct.

I believe the wires in the other cable are:-
Blue = AC input
Yellow = AC input
Black = DC output to track
Red = DC output to track
Is this correct?

Finally the terminal blocks - one on the rear of the panel unit, the other on the small circuit board - have 2 terminals marked AC.
Which of these do the loose blue and yellow wires go to?
