@nrwatson,
first thing to check is that there is power to the rail. Does a car run? Then, can you make sure the LC is powered?
Can you aslo send us a lage picture, so I can check if there's something wrong in the wiring
Power to track cars running fine with Oxigen
enclose a picture of the lane change double one
Gas Font Auto part Electrical supply Electrical wiring


Thanks Maurizio

Neither of the LC work? Because if this is the case, then the problem lies elsewhere, it is very unlikely that both are failing.
How many cars have you got?
I have two cars and two controllers at present power seems fine as work well on the track
I have the ninco analogue transformer and running the controllers with battery packs both original controllers with the bridge plug left in
The dip switches are 1 off and the remaining three one
Thanks neale
From your description and picture, dead strip seems to be properly soldered, and dip switches seem OK, in SSD compatible mode.
I understand both lane changer don't work, right?
Email sent.
yes and the other single straight doesnt work I am sure I am doing something stupid
We need to find a way to check whether your cars are properly emitting the IR light. Do you have any SSD lane changers that you can try on?

Neale, turn the sensor upside down.

... there must be a reason if my wife says me that I'd miss the water in a river

Actually I'm pretty sure she hides my stuff, then when I complain I can't find it, she puts it in my drawers where I had just looked, and says it was there from the beginning

The picture through the track in the instructions shows a little line spot which is what you can see on the reverse of the board so dont think I am being that stupid !!
Thanks Profoxcg
Ok.. whatever works for you. Ill go back to racing on my track with the multiple LC's I have converted , MUUUAAAHAHAHAHA !

The same happens to me, I am glad I could help !
BTW, the boards and sensors fit in a curved XLC. I am currently enjoying one !

^ It would be helpful to others if you post your solution
I know what it is, but I am sure other will benefit.

Neale, my comment was only refering to myself - you have every right to make a mistake especially when the manual is not so clear, but I should have known better


Manual is being updated with all the useful info which gathered from this thread.

I had the positive and negative the wrong way round thought negative would be the lead with the black stripe but thats the positive lead !!! I am too long in the tooth I thought red was positive and black negative or it used to be!!
I've checked the latest batch and there's only black cable inside. Boards are marked with + and -, maybe you had a different wire?
Please dont change the wiring color slot.it Black is fine and it looks nice and clean.
No on the ninco track the power to the lane changer board has two wires a grey one and a grey one with a black line down it I thought the one with the black line would be negative
I am so use to looking at things transposed X-Rays that I get confused with right and left rail of track
Pictures would be very helpful
