They all use the operation 42620. In the example, a 3-pin header is soldered to the cables: On the CTC-Turnout Module with the item number WI-M-4L-U you will find three cables to which a suitable socket was soldered in the example.

Installing and Connecting the CTC Module

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

This is how to connect the drive to the CTC turnout module P2-10-21:

• Insert the pin header from the turnout drive into the socket 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 the other track.

TODO Connection plan

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

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

Register CTC Module to Wi-Fi

If the CTC turnout module has not yet been registered 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 in Chapter 3.1 “Register Modules to Wi-Fi”.

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 “Switch Box 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 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”:

Connecting the Product

Now you have 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”. You select “W1-green”:

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

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

Upload Configuration

Once all the 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 will reboot.

Turnout on the Control Panel

After a few seconds, the newly configured turnout appears on the control panel:
