Seep Point Motor with Latching Mechanism

Seep Point Motor with Latching Mechanism

Seep Point Motors have the advantage of being easy to fix under the baseboard. requiring only a small slot to operate the point.

The PM-4 is a self-latching point motor, ideal for use with hand-made points, and also includes a changeover switch for operating accessories or changing frog polarity.

Drive rod 41mm long.

CONNECTING YOUR SEEP POINT MOTOR
If connecting to a Gaugemaster PCU1 or PCU2 refer to the instructions supplied with that unit.
Terminal ‘C’ of this point motor is common to both point motor windings and in multiple point systems is normally utilised as the common return terminal. In a common return system connect terminal ‘C’ to the common line of your voltage supply.
Alternatively connect to the supply Neutral/Negative terminal, (-VE output terminal of your Capacitor Discharge Unit, if used). Connect the supply line or Live/Positive terminal of your voltage supply (+VE output terminal of your Capacitor Discharge Unit, if used) to the centre post of a single pole, double throw, sprung return, centre off switch (GAUGEMASTER A5H or similar), or a passing contact type switch (If preferred two push-to-make, momentary contact switches can be used - Gaugemaster A6).

Note: A sustained supply to the motor coils will result in unit failure. Using a Capacitor Discharge Unit will prevent this.

Connect the remaining two terminals of the switch, one each to the terminals marked ‘A’ & ‘B’ of the point motor, as indicated above paying attention to the orientation in relation to the movement of the point. Terminals ‘D’, ‘E’ & ‘F’ form a single pole, double throw
auxiliary switch for signal switching etc. Terminal ‘F’ is common to terminals ‘D’ & ‘E’.
