Watchman 1

Watchman I is a solid state unit designed to eliminate the usage of 154-C contactors. This control provides a normally open and normally closed terminal to operate your track side accessories.

For Example:
- #30/138 Watch Tower
- #45/145 Automatic Gateman
- #114/118/128 News Stands
- #140 Banjo Signal
- #148 Dwarf Signal
- #151 Semaphore
- #153 Block Signal

Watchman 1 input:
Watchman 1 is activated by an insulated outside rail track section (Lionel, OCS, OSS, Super O,or Gargraves). When an engine passes over an insulated outside rail track Watchman I will activate, and stay activated, until the last car passes over the insulated section of track.


Watchman 1is available in three configurations:

1. Watchman 1(standard) - activated by a common or hot input
2. Watchman 1C - activated by a common input only
3. Watchman 1H - activated by a hot input only

Note: Watchman 1 accessory relay output is one single pole/double throw 10 ampere relay which is protected by an automatically reseting circuit breaker.

Features:

  • 1 of 3 sensing input options (standard, C or H)
  • Snap in mounting plat
  • Operational from 10-18 volts AC

Phantom Brakeman
Phantom Brakeman is a solid-state module designed to operate Lionel Electronic Couplers. Its circuit card is identical to SuperWhistle's, however it is activated by reverse polarity, allowing Phantom Brakeman to but used in conjunction with SuperWhistle or Superhorn. The Phantom Brakeman can then be activated independantly by reversing the track polarity through a Double Pole- Double Throw Toggle Switch. Phantom Brakeman can be used to activate a maximum AC load of 3 Amps.
