3.1. Сүрөттөмө

The Piko 55221 Soft WR is a right-hand turnout track element designed for model railway layouts. It is part of the PIKO A-track system, which utilizes a precise 470 mm module geometry to facilitate easy layout planning without the need for small compensation pieces. The track profile is constructed from a high-quality nickel silver alloy, ensuring excellent electrical conductivity. Durable ABS plastic thresholds provide stability and sound dampening. This turnout allows for manual switching between two diverging track paths.

3.2. Негизги өзгөчөлүктөрү

• Precise PIKO A-track geometry for easy layout design.
• High-quality nickel silver alloy track profile for optimal power conduction.
• Robust ABS plastic thresholds for durability and sound dampэning.
• Spring steel rail connectors for secure and reliable electrical contact.
• Manual operation with positioning for switching track routes.

4. Орнотуу жана орнотуу

1. Макетиңизди пландаштыруу: The PIKO A-track system is designed around a 470 mm module. This turnout has a length of 239.07 mm and a radius of 908 mm with a 15° angle. Use a simple checkered paper to plan your track figures, as the grid system minimizes the need for compensation pieces.
2. Connecting Track Elements: Ensure that the track bed is flat and stable. Connect the turnout to other PIKO A-track elements using the integrated spring steel rail connectors. These connectors provide a secure mechanical and electrical connection.
3. Электр байланышы: The nickel silver alloy profile ensures good electrical conductivity. For longer track sections, ensure additional power feeds are installed as per your model railway system's recommendations to maintain consistent power delivery.
4. Позициялоо: Place the turnout in its desired location on your layout. Ensure it is firmly seated and aligned with adjacent track pieces to prevent derailments.

5. Operating the Turnout

The Piko 55221 Soft WR turnout is designed for manual operation. To switch the direction of the track:

• Locate the manual operating lever or slide mechanism on the side of the turnout.
• Gently move the lever to the desired position to direct the train onto the straight or diverging track.
• Ensure the points are fully seated against the stock rails in the selected position before a train approaches the turnout. Improperly set points can lead to derailments.

6. Техникалык тейлөө

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and reliable operation of your turnout.

• Жолду тазалоо: Periodically clean the track rails with a suitable track cleaning fluid and cloth to remove dirt, dust, and oxidation. This maintains good electrical contact.
• Point Mechanism: Keep the moving parts of the turnout mechanism free from dust and debris. A small amount of dry lubricant (e.g., graphite powder) can be applied if the mechanism becomes stiff, but avoid oil-based lubricants which can attract dust.
• Туташуу текшерүү: Regularly inspect the spring steel rail connectors to ensure they are firmly attached and providing good electrical continuity.
• Сактагыч: When not in use, store track elements in a clean, dry environment away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

7. Кыйынчылыктарды

If you encounter issues with your Piko 55221 Soft WR turnout, consider the following:

• Derailments at Turnout:
  • Ensure the turnout points are fully switched and seated against the stock rails.
  • Check for any debris obstructing the moving parts of the turnout.
  • Verify that the turnout is level and properly aligned with adjacent track sections.
• Poor Electrical Contact:
  • Clean the track rails and the contact surfaces of the rail connectors.
  • Ensure all track connections are tight and secure.
  • Check for any visible damage to the rail profile or connectors.
