The # MRW-SSLS has been designed to provide constant brightness directional lighting for any R/C system using a Centre OFF ESC controlled by any Rx s that do not have that feature. It is connected in-line with the Direction and Speed control channel of the RX you are using. Or, use the direction set servo of live steam locos. The # MRW-SSLS reads the servo signal and automatically follows direction change. Unlike other R/C switches the # MRW-SSLS always has the selected direction light ON BEFORE the loco starts moving. If using other brands of Rx s please make sure that the channel you are using has the end point/travel adjustments set to 00% throw. Otherwise, you may find that one side will not switch on and off. The pcb is provided with a 5 volt supply from the ESC. You can use this to power LED s, incandescent bulbs and relays. OR You can use any other battery voltage provided the Rx is powered by the loco traction batteries and the ground is common. Light bulbs & Relays must then match the traction battery voltage. LED s must always have a dropping resistor in the circuit. Made in the UK by Model Radio Workshop (# RCS03)
