DCC Auto-Reversing Devices

Detailed instructions on wiring a Digitrax AR1 auto-reversing device for a reverse loop. In this video, I explain wiring the "escape track" from the business district and setting up a section of track to act as the break in the reverse loop to give a section of track for the AR1 to automatic align the cycle of the AC power on the layout to prevent a short.
Important steps in proper wiring are to make sure the control wiring and the reversing wiring are in the correct contact points on the AR1. Make sure the isolation gaps in the track are cut on both rails in two locations to isolate a section of track plastic rail joiners or other methods should be used to protect against an accidental transfer of current across the gap.
