Sensor Signals - Automatic signalling for DC* and DCC (OO/HO scale)
Now you can add automatic signalling to your layout in seconds with the new Sensor Signals.
A sensor is built into every signal so there is no wiring or extra circuit boards etc. Just clip or wire the signal into your track for fully automatic 2, 3 or 4 aspect signalling which works just like the real railway! Best of all they work on both analogue DC* as well as digital DCC and are fully Layout Link compatible, so easy to link Mimic lights and switches on a Mimic panel for control, signal display and train position indication with just a single wire!
Quick and easy installation - everything is built into the signal!
• Signal senses train and changes signal until train safely past
• Links to other Sensor Signals with a single wire for fully automatic block signalling!
• Fully built ready to use signal with sensor built into the base - no other circuits or wires!
• Automatic function can be overidden by a Mimic switch or a DCC command.
• Can link to Mimic light using a single wire to show occupancy & position on a control panel (see Mimic switches)
• On Analogue DC* - wire to a regular 12-16V DC supply
• On Digital DCC - just slide in or wire straight into track for automatic or DCC control
• Feathers or theatre indicators can be controlled by DCC or Mimic switch, and if points are controlled by DCC can be made to light automatically by giving them the same address
• Kit of detailing extra’s included - ladder, handrail, phone etc
• User manual for Sensor Signals
* To use DC it is recommended the fingers are removed and the signal wired to a separate 12V supply. This will enable continuous operation. See user instructions supplied with the signal for full details.
Sensor signals work exactly like the real railway - signals automatically turn red when a train enters a block section to prevent other trains from entering the same block and preceding signals automatically change accordingly.
Sensor Signals - Fully Automatic Signalling
Signals with built in sensors which operate automatically on their own or can link to other Sensor Signals and Mimic Switches using a single wire. On DCC they slide into the track like a power clip or can be wired to work on analogue DC or digital DCC.

Modern multicolour 3 & 4 aspect signals
Modern railways have multi aspect signals where a single lens (SS9) can display red,yellow or green and a 4 aspect dual lens version (SS10) which can also display double yellows:
Train-Tech offers both types with the DCC decoder pre-fitted and will automatically change its signalling with other Sensor Signals in the range - see above.
SC100 Automatic Colour Light signal controller
The Colour Light Automatic Signal controller is based on our Sensor Signal technology and enables standard LED colour light signals to be wired and controlled automatically. It will operate 2, 3 or 4 aspect colour light signals and also includes an output to control a feather or theatre route indicator using a Mimic switch or DCC.
• Control standard LED colour light signals automatically
• 2, 3 and 4 aspect plus feather / theatre route output
• Link to other automatic signals for block working
• Manual override facility using Mimic Switch or DCC
• Slides directly into some OO track when used on DCC
• Or locate and wire for 12-16V smooth DC or DCC
The SC100 is ideal for converting existing LED colour signals to automatic operation, signal gantries, remotely located signals and controlling continental or other non Train-Tech designed signals. Like Sensor Signals, the Automatic Signal Controller can be used on its own or linked to other controllers or Sensor Signals using just one wire to enable fully automatic Block Signalling.
The output connection terminals are designed for soldering to the signal wires.
