This product is for layout using Lenz Gold and Silver Decoders only

This Asymmetric DCC compatible BitSwitch can be used as a Stand Alone device
to maintain separation between two trains on the same line or in series to
automate a large loop for any number of trains.

NO BRAKE GENERATOR BitSwitch IS NEEDED WITH THIS BitSwitch
However if this switch is combined with other standard
BitSwitches an Asymmetric Brake Generator BitSwitch is required

Asymmetric Block BitSwitch
$29.95


This simple device is connected to 2 track sensors and an isolated section
of "The Right Rail" in the direction of travel.

The terminal connections are
R= Release Braking
B= Set Braking
C= R/B Common
O= Right Rail Track Power
H= DCC input from the Hot (continuous rail)
X= DCC input from the opposite rail


When the Block BitSwitch is in the ON position trains will be slowed to a stop if the next block forward
is occupied and will accelerate to its original speed setting when the forward train reaches the track
contact two contacts forward.

The Lenz Asymmetric decoders allow for "EXACT" stopping Distance to align with a Station
Platform or loading dock

When the trains are stopped they can still receive all commands from the DCC throttle EXCEPT
changes in speed steps.

When the BitSwitch Toggle is in the OFF position the automatic controls are disabled
