This installation guide applies to the double slip turnouts 42591, 42549, and 42594 from the "Rocoline with bedding" program:
TODO Image Slip Turnouts
Both use two of the drives 42620 each. In the example, a 3-pin plug strip is soldered to the cables: On the CTC-Turnout-Module with the article number WI-M-4L-U , there are three cables to which a matching socket was soldered in the example.
Install and connect the CTC module
The CTC module is mounted on or under the model railway layout.
This is how the drive is connected to the CTC-Turnout-Module:
- Plug the pin strips 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 to the track.
- Connect the red cable to the positive pole or to the other track.

The following image shows the double slip turnout with mounted turnout drives and CTC-Turnout-Module.

Two IR beacons can be connected to the four-pin socket.
Register the CTC module in the WiFi
If the CTC-Turnout-Module is not yet registered in the model railway WiFi, you must do this first. You can find the instructions in the operating instructions in Chapter 3.1 "Register modules in the WiFi" .
Open configuration
A registered CTC-Turnout-Module can be found under its name in the module list in the CTC app. There, click on the pencil icon to open the "signal tower configuration".
There, click on the "Change config" button:
Add product
In the config dialog, click on the plus button to the right of "Connected products" to select what product you have connected:
Select the product catalog "universal-turnouts" and then click "Apply":
Give your turnout a meaningful name and select the appropriate product and product configuration. Then click "Apply":
Connect product
Now you need to specify which connections of the CTC module the turnout is connected to. The plug used above is soldered to "W1-green" and "W1-red". Select "W1-green":
Then you can check by clicking the "Test" button whether the turnout switches and in which direction. In my example, W1-green switches to straight. That's why I now select the line "straight" under "Connections and parameters". By clicking "Connect", you assign the left marked "W1-green: Output-Pin #16" to the connection "left":
Then connect "W1-red" (Output-Pin #17) to the connection "left-straight" in the same way:
For the second drive, proceed in the same way as for the first.
Upload configuration
When all pins are connected, you can click the "Upload" button to save the changes to the config on the CTC-Turnout-Module:
The CTC-Turnout-Module restarts.
Turnout in the signal tower
After a few seconds, the newly configured double slip turnout appears in the signal tower:
