Installing , Connecting and Adjusting your Cobalt-SS Motors
A clear, visual indication helps, so here's another diagram with Cobalt-SS plus all of the wires & accessories connected.
We have also added additional information where a more detailed explaination will be helpful.
Please note: We have used variants of Green, Red and Blue/Black to represent the added wires. Your wire choice is up to you!
When you wire, please read the manual then also read the print on the PCB as you insert the wires. With all the information
also printed onto the PCB at every connection point, you should find it easy to get it all right first time!
We've shown only 1 set of connections: A Cobalt-SS Control Board can control 2 separate DCC addresses & several motors!

The Reset button.
Just hold it down for
3 seconds. Cobalt-SS
will then return to it's
ex-factory settings!

from the DCC track
power bus OR the
regulated DC Power
Supply if you do not
use DCC!

The easy to understand "Set-Run
Switch" for setting the address. See below
for a step by step instruction
4
Pushbutton switches
(or our Cobalt-S Levers).
This gives you DCC-Digital &
manual point control too.

Panel LEDs, computer IO
indication or 2-light signals!
6
A spare SPDT switch
can do many things.
Here we have connected it to
two isolated sections ahead of the
Heel of the point and wired it so that if
the point is not set for the train to cross
safely, power to that section will be turned off.
This will prevent accidental derailments and the
inevitable short-circuits that will otherwise occur!
Teaching your Cobalt-SS Motor it's new address and adjusting the throw distance
Setting the DCC Address of your Cobalt-SS Motor:
There are NO Complex DCC-digital
commands or CVs to remember.
Please use these instructions, not the
accessory decoder instructions that
are supplied with your DCC system.
SET
RUN
Please note that if you have a screen-based system such as the
Roco Z21 or ESU ECoS you will need to create a track diagram
or set up an on-screen turnout before you can set an Address.
(1) Connect your Cobalt-SS to the DCC track power bus
or your dedicated DCC Accessory Power Bus.
(2) Decide which number you wish Cobalt-SS to use and
then move the Set-Run switch to the "Set" position.
(3) Follow your DCC system instructions for changing a
point or turnout using the number that you chose.
(We repeat this procedure twice just to be sure)
(4) Return the Set-Run switch to the "Run" position.
(5) Repeat 3 and Cobalt-SS will respond to that address.

Cobalt-SS has "Frog" polarity switches built
in too so there is no need for you to add anything
else. There is no complicated wiring so electrofrog
or "Live Frog" points are now much easier to use!

Adjusting the throw distance of a Cobalt-SS Motor:
All you will need to do is watch this set
of this with a fine "
We chose the S - M - L - XL as it is a common designation on
many things - indicating increase or change in size. You'll find that
they correspond approximately to Z, N, OO/HO and O scale.
(1) Install your Cobalt-SS and test your installation leaving
the settings at the factory default position.
(2) If the blade does not move fully either way, adjust the
installation to improve centering then re-test it.
(3) If the blade moves across well before the motor stops,
reduce the throw by turning the adjuster anti-clockwise.
(4) If the blade does not move fully or has weak pressure,
increase the throw by turning the adjuster clockwise.
(5) To go back to a default throw, hold the "Re-Set" down.

To adjust the
throw, adjust with
a small cross-type
screwdriver.

Cobalt-SS: Basic wiring and features
Cobalt-SS Does not mind whether you power it with DCC
or DC and is equally usable on layouts with either system.
Wiring is soldering-free. ALL connections are either very
simple "Plug and Play" connections or Screw Terminals.
Each Cobalt-SS Control board has TWO control outputs
& each output can control more than 1 Cobalt-SS motor.
Operation can be via two momentary switches or by
DCC-Digital control and setting the address is easy to do.
Basic connection needs only 1, 2 and 3 to be used. These
and all other Cobalt-SS connections are explained below.

Power Connection: Cobalt-SS works well with both
1
DC and DCC power input. Voltage range is 12~23v.
Cobalt-SS is connected with a simple plug & socket.
2
DCC-Addressing is via a simple switch. Choose an
3
address, move it to "Set", act as if already changing the
turnout at that address and then return to "Run" mode.
4
Momentary switch connection (Left/Com/Right).
Panel LEDs or Computer I.O. or Colour Light Signals.

The Reset Buttons re-centre Cobalt-SS. It returns
11
throw settings to factory Default. Hold for 3 seconds.
