Dcc concept s levers

[Aln773]

Hi, this is my first post and I am very happy to have joined this community!  I am working on my dcc layout, all points are dcc concepts with so far 4 surface mounted ones and 7 ip digital. I use the signa-trak controller and so far I am super happy. I just purchased the s levers and after following wiring instructions i am kind of stuck: when i move the lever connected to a surface mounted motor, the motor only works on one movement , but moving the lever back, the point doesn't return to the original position. If i inver the wiring, the movement is inverted too but still no return when I bring the lever back to the original position. Can someone kindly help me with this

I think your best bet would be to email DCC concepts and ask them.

From what I have heard they are always very helpful.

Agree they have always been helpful by email. For the IP digitalis you have, you would use the 3 momentary S lever outputs to the 3 momentary IP Digital push button inputs, with the common as the centre of each range of 3. (Like 3 wires from 2 independent push buttons).

 

I don’t know surface mount motors nor the signatrak controller. Some accessory control inputs may only need or take the equivalent of 2 unpowered wires from one momentary push button to change the point motor status. If that is what your surface mount or signatrak needs, then you use the S lever momentary common output for one wire, and you use both of the other momentary outputs for the other wire, bridged together.

 

Good luck getting it working. Tom

Thank you guys, the good people from Dcc Concepts got back to me and send me the instruction to properly connect controllers with levers and now all is working!
