TC-1 Frequently Asked Questions

How many turnouts can a single TC-1 operate?

Four turnouts can be controlled from a single TC-1.

How many TC-1's can you use on one layout?

There is no practical limit to the number of TC-1s you can add to operate most any amount of turnouts.

How many TC-1's can be powered from a single RailPro power supply?

The PWR-56 can power many TC-1s for snap type stitches and several dozen TC-1s for Motor Operated turnouts.

Can the TC-1 operate motor operated switches?

Yes. We recommend using slow motion motor operated switches instead of snap type switches. The motor operated switches can use 10 times less power than a snap switch.

Can the TC-1 operate snap type switches?

Yes. It can operate both 2-Wire and 3-Wire snap switches.

Can the TC-1 operate G gauge switches?

Yes. We have operated several popular brand G scale switches with TC-1.

What power supply can be used with TC-1?

You should only power a TC-1 with a PWR-56 Power Supply.

Can you use one TC-1 to control snap switches and have another TC-1 to control Motor Operated switches on the same layout?

Yes. You can set each TC-1 to operate motor operated switches or snap type switches. However, you must connect all the same type of switches to any one TC-1.

Can the TC-1 display the current direction on the Handheld display (straight or turn)?

Yes. You can even enable a feature to set direction on power on (incase someone manually threw a switch during power off) to be sure the display on the Handheld matches the actual turnout direction.

Does the TC-1 have wired feedback?

No. Almost no users implemented this feature on older AM-1 so it has been removed from TC-1 and TC-1 is available at a lower cost than AM-1. Most users do not want to go through the significant of wiring and setup to make feedback work and basically all customers like a lower price.

Will you offer a model with feedback at a later time?

If there is enough interest in a model of TC with feedback, we may offer this product at a later time. If you have an interest in a TC with feedback, be sure to send us an email and let us know.
