Testing the installation
To test the installation, you need a locomotive equipped with a decoder that supports the ABC
technology, for example a Digital plus SILVER- or GOLD-decoder.
Leave the BM2 signal inputs unwired for the first test. As soon as it enters the braking section, the
train should stop with the set braking delay or braking distance. If you use a rear-powered (pushed)
train for this test, its leading coach must be fitted with a power consumer.
If the train does not stop, the set braking distance is probably too long or the braking section too
short.
If the train stops abruptly immediately after entering the driving section, the connection between the
BM2 and the track sections is probably faulty.
If the first test was successful, you can finish wiring the signal inputs and check whether the train
passes a signal indicating "Clear", and slows down to the speed set in the decoder if a signal
indicates "Slow approach".
