Trak-DT - Basic Current Detector (DO NOT ORDER - out of stock!)

The Trak-DT basic current detector activates its on-board relay when current is detected. When current is removed, the relay relaxes. Current is detected by passing a wire through the sense coil on the board.

Terminal Overview

No Current Detected

When no current is detected by the Trak-DT, the right and middle contacts are connected and the left most connector is connected to nothing.

Current Detected

When current is detected, the right and middle contacts disconnect and the left most connector connects to the middle terminal.

Installation Instructions

1. Decide on a section of track which will trigger the detector. Isolate one rail (either rail on two rail, center for three rail) for the length of the section of track by adding a small gap in the rail.
2. Route a new power lead for that section of track, passing it through the sense coil on the Trak-DT board.
3. Connect the power leads to the Trak-DT. At this point the detector is ready to use. For more detailed wiring guides, please reference the Dallee Wiring Guides.
