6.4 Connecting the driving and braking section
Connect terminal (1) to the left continuous rail.
E
Connect terminal (2) to the right rail before the braking section.
Connect the right isolated rail of the driving section to terminal (2a) of the BM3.
Connect the right isolated rail of the braking section to terminal (2b) of the BM3.
6.5 Connection to the previous / next BM3: Connecting the signal output / input
Connect the signal input of the BM3 module that controls section 1 to the signal output of the BM3
module that controls section 2. Via this connection, each BM3 module will receive information on
the occupancy status of the block that is next in the direction of travel.
Connect the signal input of the BM3 module that controls section 2 to the signal output of the BM3
module that controls the next block.
Continue like this to link the signal inputs and outputs of all BM3 modules that make up your block
section.
6.6 Connecting the signal
It is not necessary to connect signals in order for the block section to function properly, but, of
course, this is helpful.
6.6.1
Connecting light signals
Simply connect the BM3 signal outputs to the bulbs of the light signal. The voltage at these outputs
is 15V DC. The maximum continuous current-carrying capacity of these outputs is 100mA. You can
connect bulbs as well as luminous diodes to these outputs. In the case of luminous diodes, please
note that terminal (C) is the plus pole.
