Signalist SC1
- DCC decoder for LED signals
The
Signalist range of products has been designed to meet the real
requirements of DCC model railway control and provide features not
available on existing mainstream products that will make a real
difference.
Installation of accessory decoders is simplified by
being able to source power from the DCC track supply saving the need to
run extra cabling and to buy an extra power supply in many cases. The
SC1 signal decoder includes variable current limiting to not just
eliminate the need for external current limiting resistors but to set
the individual brightness and in some cases the colour of signals to
match their environment.
One of the key features of the SC1 is
the support for the NMRA extended accessory protocol which when
implemented can significantly reduce the DCC traffic through the
command station to give better command station response from lower
latency by reducing traffic and offloading control overhead from the
control system to the decoder.
In many cases there can be a
considerable cost saving to be made when using Signalist products, for
example using the SC1+DP8 combination to control eight Dapol semaphore
signals is a quarter of the cost of using the available products from
other suppliers as well as being simpler to install.
The SC2 point decoder makes the most of the low cost of RC
servos and the simplicity of the SB1 slow motion
motors to
provide a low cost solution for point control. With switching
for both
polarities of a crossover on board the decoder the complication of
providing extra switching on live frog crossovers is completely
eliminated and in many cases the cost of a reversing module can be
saved too.
As you will see most of the above features cannot be
found on other accessory decoder solutions and once you have tried a
signalist decoder you will wonder how you ever managed without. Take a
look around the site to see some of the things that Signalist decoders
can do, and have a look at the extensive manuals for step by step
guides on how to do it.
