How does the FTM work?

Based on the approaching train’s speed and distance from the crossing signal, the FTM circuit gets activated to provide consistent warning time for the crossing flashing LED's. Will consider the train will maintain its speed going through the grade or level crossing. Determine the distance and clock the travel duration (FTM is preset to 20 seconds). 

The Timer starts by a momentary closure of a momentary switch placed on the layout as the train passes by. A RDM (reed switch and magnet kit) could be used or your own choice of momentary contact closure. The Timer is preset to 20 seconds and is adjustable from 0.5-150 seconds.

To adjust the On timing:

• Plug in the power adapter or connect the battery.

• Short the Start connector and adjust the pot: turn CW (clock wise) to decrease and CCW (counter clock wise) to increase. 1 turn = 6 seconds.

• Use the Reset switch if you need to stop the timer at any time.

• Do not glue the LED's front lens - Color and Aspect will be deteriorated.
• We do not recommend the use of other LED's. Train Set Electronics LED's are specially manufactured for our products and are guaranteed to properly function with this module.
• We do not recommend the use of other Power Adapters. Flashing Rate will change and could damage the module.
