DET8 Train Detector (8 Channel)

About the Product

The BLOCKsignalling 8-Channel Train Detector provides a cost-effective way to monitor the presence of trains on multiple sections of track across a layout. Using the supplied photoelectric detectors, the module detects passing or stationary trains and drives LEDs to give a clear visual indication when a train is present.

The unit offers flexible configuration options, allowing its behaviour to be tailored to different operational needs and layout designs.

Key Features

• Uses photoelectric detectors to reliably detect the presence of trains.
• Drives LEDs to indicate when a train is present on a monitored section of track.
• All operating settings can be easily adjusted to suit individual layout requirements.
• LEDs can be configured to operate only when a train is directly above a detector, making it ideal for precise positioning during coupling or uncoupling.
• Inputs can be paired so that one channel triggers an LED and another resets it, allowing detection of trains entering and leaving a section.

Application Information

Suitable for monitoring train presence anywhere on the layout, including sidings, platforms, hidden track sections, and areas requiring precise train positioning.
