This installation manual is suitable for the three-way turnout 42543 from Roco’s “Rocoline with bedding” range:

It uses two of the 42620 drives. In the example, a 3-pin header is soldered to the cables: On the CTC-Turnout Module with the article number WI-M-4L-U, three cables are found to which, in the example, a suitable socket was soldered.

Installing and Connecting the CTC Module

The CTC module is mounted on or under the model railway layout.

Here’s how to connect the drive to the CTC turnout module:

• Insert the pin headers from the turnout drives into the sockets on the CTC turnout module.
• Connect the brown cable to the negative pole of the power supply or the track.
• Connect the red cable to the positive pole or the other track.

The following image shows a right turn turnout with built-in turnout drives and a CTC turnout module.

Two IR balises can be connected to the four-pin socket of the turnout module. In the example in the photo, the four-pin socket was removed and the cables (red, blue, pink, grey) were soldered onto copper contacts at the track connection.

Connecting the CTC Module to Wi-Fi

If the CTC turnout module is not yet connected to the model railway Wi-Fi, this is the first thing you need to do. You can find the instructions for this in the user manual Chapter 3.1 “Connecting Modules to Wi-Fi”.

Open Configuration

You can find a registered CTC turnout module under its name in the module list in the CTC app. There, click on the pencil icon to open the “Switch box configuration”.

There, click on the “Change Config” button:

Adding a Product

In the Config dialogue, click the Plus button to the right of “Connected Products” to select the type of product you have connected:

Select the product catalog “universal-turnouts” and then click on “Apply”:

Give your turnout a meaningful name and select the appropriate product and product configuration. Then click on “Apply”:

Connect Product

Now you need to specify which ports of the CTC module the turnout is connected to. The connector used above is soldered to “W1-green” and “W1-red”. You select “W1-green”:

Then, by clicking on the “Test” button, you can check whether the turnout is switching and in which direction. In my example, W1-green switches to straight. That’s why I’m now selecting the line “straight” in the “Connections and Parameters” section. By clicking on “Connect”, you assign the “left” port to the left-marked “W1-green: Output-Pin #16”:

Then, in the same way, connect “W1-red” (Output-Pin #17) to the “li-straight” port:

Proceed in the same way for the second actuator as you did for the first.

Upload Configuration

Once all the pins are connected, you can click the “Upload” button to save the changes to the CTC turnout module configuration:

The CTC turnout module will restart.

Turnout in the Control Panel

After a few seconds, the newly configured three-way turnout appears in the control panel:
