Area of Application
These instructions apply to:
• the 14954 and 14955 15° turnouts
• the 14938 and 14939 15° turnouts with polarized frogs
• the 14951 and 14953 24/30° turnouts
• the 14947, 14948, 14956, 14957, 14981, and 14983 curved
turnouts
The turnouts listed above come from the factory as manual
turnouts, i.e. they must be operated manually or by hand.
You have to move the red lever over on the side in order
to change the turnout setting. In the process the turnout
changes to the other setting.
As a manual turnout, this turnout does not require electrical
connections, since it takes track current from the tracks
connected to it.
14934 and 14935 Turnout Mechanisms
The 14934 or 14935 electro-magnetic mechanisms can be
added to the turnouts.

Stop Turnout
These turnouts can be used as stop turnouts. This means
that power is only present in the track, for which the turnout
is aligned. For example, a train coming on the „wrong"
track is prevented from entering the turnout and possibly
derailing.
Note that a passing siding connected to 2 tracks and thus
supplied for track current from both ends requires a stop
turnout at both ends that is appropriately set.
The two contact clips on the turnout must be removed with
a tweezers in order to achieve this function (Fig. 2).
Note that when you are operating electric locomotives from
catenary the track current in the latter cannot be set with
the turnout.
