BOD-8
(Block Occupancy Detector-8)  This board operates as a DCC occupancy detector for 8 blocks using remote CT coils. It outputs logic levels, and has a Tower Controller standard ribbon connector interface. The "Power-Lok" feature monitors the DCC bus power. A power failure latches the detection status of each block until power is restored and re-stabilized. Manual
$41.65
$37.49
$35.40
CT-Coil-Set
8 CT (Current Transformer) coils for BOD-8. These 100:1 toroid coils sense the track current on leads passing through the hole in the middle of the coil. They connect to the BOD-8 with twisted pair cable such as CAT-3 or CAT-5 network cable. (up to 4 coils per cable)

$14.40
$13.60
DCDB-8
(DC 'H' Bridge Driver)  Normally operates as eight independent "H" bridge motor drivers. It outputs medium current DC at whatever voltage is supplied to the board via an external connector. (28VDC maximum) Each output line is rated at 1/4 amp continuous, 1 amp momentary. Manual.
$45.30
$40.77
$38.51
4ASD-4
(4 Aspect Signal Driver Rev-b) This board is specifically designed to drive simply wired 3-4 aspect position signals utilizing 3 yellow LED's in series for each position by providing 9V to the internal dropping resistors. Multiplexed outputs allow for direct drive of four 3 or 4 aspect signal heads mounted along a single 10 wire cable. No extra hardware is required at each signal head. Manual.
$24.87
$22.38
$21.14
SMD-8
(Stall Motor Driver) This 8 output, optically isolated, low current "H" bridge driver is designed for control of 8 stall motor switch machines. (E.g. Tortoises®) It can drive up to 100ma. per line, speed regulated output 4 to 12VDC. (PTC fuse limited to 200ma total per board for safety). Manual.
$32.25
$29.03

$27.41

SCSD-8
(Single Coil Solenoid Driver) This 8 line, optically isolated, single ended, high current, high voltage DC driver can drive up to 1A continous per line at up to 30VDC. When used with custom TC-64 settings and a CD power supply this board will drive 4 dual-coil solenoid switch machines. (PTC fuse limited to 2-3A total per board for safety) Manual.
