Instructions for Mounting Microswitches

1)   Attach the microswitch to the plate.

2)   Position the assembly against the headblocks on the switch, and adjust the position so that the actuator button clicks as the throwbar moves back and forth. Mark hole locations in the headblocks, drill a hole and mount the microswitch, as shown

3)   Look for the terminal identifications on the body of the microswitch, Com, NC and NO

4)   Solder a wire from the Com terminal to the brass frog.

5)   Solder a wire from the NC terminal to the curved stock rail

6)   Solder a wire from the NO terminal to the straight stock rail

7)   Depending on the track circuits, insulating rail joiners may be needed on the two tail rails at the other end of the switch.
