Alternative Points Switch
The SW301 switch is momentary action UP & DOWN from the centre. In
operation try to limit the ‘ON’ period to 1 second or less (prolonged power
will overheat and therefore damage the Point Motor Coils). For ease of
operation rotate the switch when in the control panel, so that up gives the
straight through line. This will help you to know which way to move the switch
by looking at the points.
Have a look at our Signal Control relay board, this can be used to indicate at the panel which aspect the points are in, as well as isolating the other track.

FIG: 1
This circuit is self explanatory and will be used in most cases.
FIG: 2
In this configuration both points must operate together, so the wiring is
a little different. As one set of points is 180’ to the other, you need to wire
the points 180’ to the other. Follow the circuit diagram.
