I installed MTH Railroad crossing gates on my layout, details:-
Power supply – 16V / AC
Single line HO track – always one direction
Location of approach sensor - 5 Ft. prior to crossing
Location of departure sensor - 8 inches after crossing
When train approaches crossing , bells sound and gates lower, , prior to train arrival. (9 seconds, just as manual says)
After train passes gates, and over the departure sensor, the bells continue to ring and boom stays down for 60 + seconds…
There is no mention in the manual of being able to vary the time the gates stay down. The manual does say the system is bi – directional, however, if I coverer the “departure” sensor, it does not activate the bells / booms …
Sent email to MTH, no reply (yet) …Any assitance will be appreciated …
Regards, Bill
