This installation guide is suitable for the crossover turnout 24624: Crossover Turnout

as well as the slim crossover turnout 24720 from Märklin’s C-Track program.

Both use one of the drives 74490, 74491 or 74492, which have a socket from the JST ZH plug-in system. On the CTC-Turnout module with the article number WU-M-4L-C1 there is a cable with a matching plug.

Install and Connect the CTC Module

The CTC module is placed onto the pins intended for the Märklin decoder and pressed down.

Here is how the drive is connected to the CTC turnout module:

  • Insert the connector of the cable soldered to the CTC turnout module into the turnout drive.
  • Attach the cable lug on the brown cable to a tab labeled “0” (track).
  • Attach the cable lug on the red cable to a tab labeled “B” (center conductor).

A signal or another turnout can be connected to the three individual cables (2x blue and 1x yellow). Two IR balises can be connected to the four-pin jack.

Registering the CTC Module to Wi-Fi

If the CTC turnout module has not yet been registered to the model railway Wi-Fi, you need to do this first. You can find instructions in the user manual in Chapter 3.1 “Registering Module to Wi-Fi”.

Open Configuration

You can find a logged-in CTC turnouts module under its name in the module list in the CTC app. There, click on the pencil icon to open the “Switchbox Configuration”.

There, click on the “Change Config” button:

Then you can use the “Test” button to check if the turnout is switching and in which direction. In my example, W1-green switches to straight. Therefore, I now select “straight” in the “Connections and Parameters” line. By clicking on “Connect” you assign the connection “straight” to the “W1-green: Output-pin #16” marked on the left:

Then you connect “W1-red” (Output-Pin #17) with the “turn” connection in the same way:
