Digitrax SE8C Plug 'N Play Signal Decoder NIB

SE8C Plug 'N Play Signal Decoder make it easy to add prototypical signaling to your layout.

The SE8C can drive as many as 32 signal heads with many popular LED signal types.

It can also be used to control up to 8 slow motion turnout machines as either turnout control or control for semaphore type signals.

Easy modular Plug 'N Play and additional accessories make it simple to add signaling to your layout.

Control signals manually on your layout with a Loconet Throttle and Command Station Automate control with detection and compatible computer software Drives as many as 32 signal heads of any popular LED type Built in current limiting resistors for setting brightness of LEDs Drives up to 8 semaphore signals using slow motion turnout machines Alternately can be used as stationary decoder to control 8 slow motion turnouts Simple modular Plug 'N Play wiring system Each signal driver cable drives 4 heads Includes a sample Signal Driver Cable and Test Signal Mast Provides 8 inputs for 8 control lines for local turnout control Provides 8 inputs occupancy sensor links For use with DC or DCC controlled layouts Transponding is not necessary to implement signaling A computer and third party software are necessary to realize the full feature potential of the SE8C.

The Digitrax Signaling System is organized around the concept of “security elements” which are similar to what U.S. prototype railroads call “plants.” The Digitrax SE8C signal decoder displays aspects for up to 32 heads for 8 individual security elements (plants) using either a LocoNet Throttle or a computer with compatible software. When used with associated occupancy detectors and compatible software, the SE8C can be set up to protect the turnout as shown by the example below. The SE8C decodes switch commands from a throttle or associated software so that the appropriate aspects are displayed on the signal heads.

The Digitrax Plug 'N Play Signal system is the perfect way to add signaling to your layout. And whether you use DC or DCC controls, it will add a new dimension of realism to operations.

The SE8C Signal Decoder is the heart of the system, and can drive up to 32 signal heads using most popular signal types like bi-color LED searchlight types with two or three leads, or 3-LED heads with common anode or cathode. It can even drive B&O or Pennsy type heads with multiple indicators. Current resistors are built-in for setting LED brightness. The SE8C can also be used to drive 8 slow-motion turnout machines, such as Circuitron's Tortoise or eight semaphore signals driven by slow-motion turnout machines. The SE8C provides 16 inputs, eight control lines for local turnout control and eight occupancy sensor inputs.

A full line of accessory products let you use modular plug 'n play wiring and components to install a fully customizable signaling system on your railroad. The Signal Driver Cable Kits take the hassle out of running wires for your signal system. Signal Mast Base Kits, Terminal Mounting Strip Kits and Signal Hardware Mounting Kits make it easy to use either inexpensive circuit board type signals, or your own finely detailed signals with the system.

If you're using a computer to control your layout, the Digitrax Plug 'N Play Signaling System is a great way to add prototypical signaling to your railroad. If you're not using a computer, the SE8C Signal Decoder lets you manually operate signals on the layout from your throttle. With a computer and compatible software, youll be able to realize the full potential of the Digitrax Plug 'N Play Signaling System.

As part of the Digitrax Plug'N Play Signalling system, this decoder can control signals on your layout manually with any LocoNet Throttle and Command Station, or automatically with detection and compatible software such as RR & Co. and WinLok.

Using a simple plug-and-play wiring system for easy installation on DC or DCC layouts, the unit is complete with a sample Signal Driver Cable (drives up to four heads) and test Signal Mast.

The decoder drives up to 32 signal heads with popular LED signal types including bi-color LED searchlight signals with two or three leads, Three-LED heads with common anode or common cathode and B&O or Pennsy position-light type heads. The unit is designed to model most US signal systems and includes built-in current limiting resistors for setting the brightness of LEDs. The unit can also be set up to drive up to eight slow-motion turnout motors or eight semaphore type signals (powered by slow motion machines), automatically setting the arm for the correct red, green or yellow aspect.

A total of 16 inputs are provided; eight control lines for local turnout control and eight occupancy sensor inputs.
