Depending on the engine decoders used automatic "Braking"
can be initiated via 3 different methods.
SEE DETAILS BELOW
--------------------------------------------------------
Track power for the brake section can be switched to
Analog
DC.
Most NMRA conformance decoders
and LGB MTS.

-------------------------------------------------------
The above products provide the
master power feed for multiple
BitSwitches™
contained in the layout.
If you wish to have separate sections automated while
others are operated by Engineers
One switch is required
for each independent section.
Basic Brake on DC and
Asymmetric DCC Generator BitSwitches
has two positions:
In the OFF position the section of the
layout controlled will operate as if no automatic controls exist.
However Signals
continue to operate and Braking
Sequence Logic is maintained for easy resumption of automatic operation.
In the ON position trains in this
section will be controlled and dispatched by the BitSwitches
contained in this section.
The basic "Brake
Generator BitSwitch" is a manual toggle
switch.
In either position the trains can
be sent new commands for speed changes, lights, sound etc.
If the
particular train addressed is currently under automatic braking the new commands will
not be activated until the train is released.
Only one DC Brake Generator is
required for multiple BitSwitches
Manual Toggle Version DC or
Asymmetric DCC

----------------------------------------------
The Set Speed Zero Packet
Generator
can be used in
place of the "Brake
Generator BitSwitch".
The
output is connected to a
dedicated power booster that will supply ALL C & D
inputs on the BitSwitches.
Because the track power output from this Speed Zero Booster is subject to
minimal loads
(applying power to sections
of track where trains are stopped)
it can be daisy chained to a large number
of BitSwitches
so only one
booster dedicated to the Set
Speed Zero generator is required for
most layouts.
The
Set Speed Zero Generator
is addressable as an accessory using your throttle
or
command station and can be
turned on/off
as
desired.
The address is programmable from 1-9999.
The "SET
SPEED ZERO" VERSION IS REQUIRED FOR LAYOUTS
OPERATING DECODERS FROM
SOUNDTRAX
AND ANY MFGS THAT DO NOT OFFER
"BRAKE ON ANALOG DC"
and
also require ONE dedicated DCC power booster.

The DCC signal in the brake section can be altered to an Asymmetric
Signal
