CML DAC10 Point Controllers

[Charlie B]

Hi,

 

I recently bought two CML DAC10 point controllers on eBay as part of a bigger auction.

My intention was to use them on a small exhibition layout run with Digitrax and eventually with RR&Co.

I've found the programming of these DAC10s mind numbing.

 

I also own a couple of DCC Concepts AD-S8 point controllers which are straight forward and without complex CV programming.

Sadly they do not integrate with the Digitrax Loconet.

 

I cant find anyone here in Somerset who has even heard of the DAC10 let alone able to offer advice.

 

Any help will be much appreciated.

 

Regards Charlie

I searched Google using DAC point controller. Came up with a users instructions

Apart from reading the manuals, the CML Electronics also provide a software program, LocoAnalyse, to setup their hardware over LocoNet

Thanks Nigel,

Hi Gordon,

 

Yes I do have the instruction but I found that they are a nightmare to follow.

Do you use DAC10s?

Sorry Charlie,

 

I am currently using servos using  an ESU Switch Pilot in DCC mode.

It's worth persevering with the DAC10s. I've used them in the past with a Digitrax set up and found them to be very reliable with Tortoise motors. Once you've learnt how to set them up, they're a doddle. If I remember correctly, it is plug and play, and because I use Tortoise motors, there was no need to connect the 15V ac supply to it.
