Shelf #2 wiring - part 7

 This shelf carries the ESU ECoSDetector modules. I have the following items:

• 1x ESU 50094 - http://www.esu.eu/en/products/digital-control/ecosdetector/ecosdetector/
• 3x ESU 50098 - http://www.esu.eu/en/products/digital-control/ecosdetector/ecosdetector-rc/

The ESU 50094 has 16 inputs for detection, but only 4 are RailCom. The ESU 50098 has 4 RailCom inputs.

Shelf #1 digital

In this post, I summarize the digital configuration for all switch motors:

A1	LS150#3	13		C3	LS150#3	17
A2a	LS150#1	1		C4	LS150#3	18
A2b	LS150#1	2		C5	LS150#4	19
A3	LS150#3	14		D1	LS150#4	20
A4a	LS150#1	3		D2a	LS150#2	9

Shelf #1 wiring - part 6

Following the wiring diagram, I wired the 4 Lenz LS150 with the terminal blocks. I initially thought that the fourth terminal block would need to be located on a side, but then I realized I could probably stack them.

Schematic

Here's what I designed on Anyrail:

Placement

I used the following supplies:

• M3 & M2 bolts and nuts: https://amzn.to/2CoDldR. M3 are used for the Lenz LS150 and the terminal blocks, where M2 are used for the screw terminals
• Rubber feet: https://amzn.to/3hfPIrp

Here are these several steps with pictures:

Wiring

I used the following supplies:

• 18 AWG cables: https://amzn.to/32tkjhh and https://amzn.to/2OGIgt7

Here are these several steps with pictures:

Testing

Now, all Lenz LS150 need to be configured:

And here's the final result:

Alpha Meter

As mentioned in this previous post, I purchased a 2U panel for an electronic display. This is for the Alpha Meter from DCCconcepts - https://www.dccconcepts.com/product/alpha-meter-for-dc-or-dcc/

It is a digital meter for use on DC or DCC layouts. There are only two wires in, two wires out. It automatically adjusts for AC, DC or DCC power and even compensates for its own load, leaving only readings relevant to the layout operation. 

It is that simple!

Installation

I used the Dremel to cut through the steel plate. It took a while, but no problem here:
