Panel Wiring Details

Panels need to be made with 6PDT rotaries for pack selection and will have a separate SPST micro toggle to kill power to the block mounted next to the rotary. An LED indicator light will also be mounted next to the rotary to indicate when DCC is selected for that block. This LED will need one leg(black wire) wired to the Green DCC feed where it comes into the panel terminal strip before the rotary and the other leg(red wire) wired to the opposing(wire coming from the rotary that is fed by purple DCC wire) outgoing wire from rotary to track terminal strip to make it illuminate when the rotary is turned to DCC. Rotaries will be wired with Pack 1 as the farthest left position then rotating clockwise the other packs will be added with the fifth position empty and DCC in the sixth position.

...

Bock detector toroid will be inserted where the SPST toggle attaches to the barrier strip.
