Servette™
controlling a Servo and Tortoise™
Description:
The Servette™ is programmed from the factory
(default) for the servo and relay to work together for
turnout control. The servo output and relay have the same
address. That is, when the servo is commanded to move the
turnout points, the relay follows to route power to the
turnout frog and/or reverse loop.
In some cases it may be desirable to control the servo
and relay independently. By programming the
Servette™ for Mode 1, the servo and relay each have
their own address (default - servo 1, relay 9). If a
Tortoise™ is connected to the relay it can be
controlled separately from the servo.
Examples:
This diagram shows connections for a Tortoise™
being driven with approximately track voltage (12 volts).
Wires can be soldered to the two holes in the circuit
board and connected to the relay. These provide rectified
track voltage to power the Tortoise™.
If you want the Tortoise™ to move slower, this
diagram shows connections for 5 volts.
