PIKO 35271 Electric Switch Machine

[Deleted member 3553]

I need a diagram to connect subject to mom on-off-mom on toggle........currently have LGB on V16ac......... Piko unit says 18-24V dc which I can supply......Can't follow some web suggestions , sure I can get an easy to follow answer here............Regards Mardy.

It will work on AC.

....in the specifications section.

Thanks Gordon ? I did find these specs in my hunting but "

• 18-24V DC 48VA operation, or 12-16.5VAC AC operation with the PIKO 35260 Switch Control " I dont use Piko switch control....just the toggle switch as diagram above.....Maybe the Piko Control is programmed to recognise the type of power ? Mardy

I used these for LGB point motors when I was on Analogue;

Come with diodes and a diagram.

I'm sure these would work on Piko motors?

You use an AC supply for power and rectify this to DC for the directional control of the point motor....

Yes, the Piko switch control contains a bridge diode to convert AC supply to DC. If you are using your own toggle switches with AC supply, you'll need to put a bridge diode into the circuit.

currently have LGB on V16ac

LGB point motors work on reversible DC (hence the diodes in your toggle switch circuit). I believe the Piko point motors are the same? They're also a 2-wire system the same as LGB.

Thanks all...threw in a bridge rectifier and double pole switch and running off the one supply.........Mardy

Hi Mardy, Are those diodes in your drawing?
