Model railway motor switch MP5
• Motor switch with silent and slow motion• Miniature scantlings 30x42mm (w x l)
• Inbuilt motor with planetary transmission
• Universal connection like electromagnetic or motor switch
• 4 steps – 3, 6, 9 and 12 mm
• Integrated double throw contact
• Easy instalation with removable connector
The motor switch is used for electric operation of the two-position mechanisms in models, such as turnout points or mechanical signals and barriers. The travel distance can be set in four steps, 3 mm, 6mm, 9mm and 12mm.
Both d.c. and a.c. power supplies are suitable, with a current consumption aprox 150 mA during motion. The mechanism has a end of travel detection switch, i.e. the control voltage can be applied permanently, to be disconnected automatically once a respective position is reached and the motion stops. The integration of motor switch MP5 is universal – three-conductors (like electromagnetic)) or two-condutors (like motor switch). You can change the old types easily without changeover of railway´s wiring. Switches are compatible with regular DCC decoders e.g. Lenz LS100, LS150 or decoders for motor switches. Motor switch has also two switch contacts with capacity 1A for supplemental aplication. The end switches provide the range to position after econditioning disconected power supply.

How to change the distance of travel
1
Unscrew 3 screws on the housing bottom.
2
Remove the slider assembly.
3
Set the pin to a desired position
4
Reassemble the set and fit the housing. Carefully retighten screws.
The switches must get in contact with cams, but beware
of plastic parts while retightening. Excessive effort might cause damage to them; try with the screw first.
Setting the length of needle
1
Unscrew screw on the check gate of motor switch
2
Set the required length of needle and screw up screw
Setting the needle longitudinal position
1
Unscrew 2 external screws on the check gate of motor switch
2
Set the required position of check gate with respect to the end position of switch
