WFS-46 Quad Wi-Fi Universal Switch Machine Controller
You can install this module on your model railroad of any scale to operate four switch machines using our free Tower Operator App that runs on Windows 10 and Android.
This switch machine can operate all types of switch machines that we know about. These include:
3-Wire Dual-coil switch machines such as those manufactured by Peco and Atlas,
2-Wire Bipolar switch machines such as those manufactured by LGB or Kato,
Stall-motor machines such as Tortoise by Circuitron,
Other motor driven switch machines with an end switch - up to half an amp.
The switch machine connected to any one WFS-46 unit must be all either dual coil or motor driven. There is a switch on the unit to select one or the other. 2-Wire and 3-Wire coil-type switch machines may be connected to the same unit.
In-built charge pump, capacitor discharge unit doubles track voltage for dual coil switch machines
Fully compatible with DCC systems. Can use power from DCC Booster or fixed DC on track, or separate DC supply.
Input connections allow manual operation from buttons or track occupancy detector.
