Description

Tam Valley Depot DCC Dual 3-Way II Servo Accessory Decoder


The dual 3-way can be used to control 2 servos with 3 positions each.  

Typical uses are semaphores and 3-way stub switches.  

Comes with 2 I/O connectors that are used to connect to your signal system and/or indicator LEDs (or just use DCC).


Manufacturers Website:  Tam Valley Depot


Features:

  • Control two servos independently with 3 positions each
  • Speed Controllable from very slow to very fast
  • Drive circuitry for external LED indicators - common anode OR common cathode
  • Inputs for momentary pushbuttons
  • Bounce Simulation - blades bounce at end of throw
  • Variable Bounce Amplitude
  • DCC accessory decoder built in (can be used with JMRI PanelPro)
  • Anti-backlash for stub switch center position ensures accurate positioning each time
  • Time-delay option - simulates a signal system by turning from red to yellow to green with a time delay.
  • Can be used with most signaling systems such as CMRI or Logicrailtech

(Note: not for 3-way turnouts, more properly known as lap turnouts, which are actually two overlapping but independent turnouts.  For those use two servos driven by singlets or half of a quad.)
