Placement of insulators
The FreeMo spec allows for insulators at the end of modules. We will need to have this at every module in order to facilitate signal blocks.
(excerpt from the spec)
1 to 1 Module
No insulators are needed within the module.
1 to 1 Module with Siding
Place insulators on siding track. Feeder to siding, but do not use block occupancy detector.
1 to 2 Module
See drawing below for insulator placement.
1 to 2 Module with Siding
See drawing below for insulator placement.
Block Occupancy Detector Placement
Each mainline block or or passing track with have an occupancy detector. Sidings will not need them.
Examples
Configuration | Number of detectors |
|---|---|
1 to 1 | 1 |
1 to 1 with siding | 1 |
1 to 2 | 3 |
1 to 2 with siding | 3 |
These will be inserted on the red wire side of the module.
