8445 Manual 2/3-way turnout

The InduktivCharger enables wireless recharging of vehicles through inductive communication. Vehicles come to a halt on the module and automatically position themselves over the charging coil, allowing charging currents to be self-regulated. These modules are particularly suitable for locations with longer dwell times, such as traffic lights or level crossings. Multiple modules can be interconnected to autonomously guide vehicles to charging positions with upcoming software updates. A control output for the motorized 2/3-way turnout, item 8448, which can also control servos, complements the capabilities. For trucks, the ratio of driving time to charging time is approximately 3 to 1, allowing for virtually unlimited driving time. The InduktivCharger can also switch vehicles with receiver coils on and off. Vehicles need to be retrofitted with the receiver coil, item 8440.Diameter charging coil: 40 mm, diameter electronics: 30 mm, height: 60 mm

The receiver coil enhances vehicles with inductive charging capabilities and necessary communication. It effortlessly clips onto the transmission block and is connected to the vehicle board through a two-pole plug connection. When used in conjunction with the InduktivCharger, item 8408, it enables unlimited runtime without user intervention. Vehicles can be powered on and off at inductive charging stations. The runtime-to-charging-time ratio is approximately 3:1, depending on system and vehicle conditions. Suitable for all CarMotion system vehicles without built-in receiver coils.Outer dimensions: L 2.4 x W 1.3 x H 0.27 cm

This turnout is equipped with a powerful and low-noise drive featuring secure positioning achieved by a robust 10 mm motor with planetary gear. By rearranging the variable end stops, a left, right, or 3-way diversion can be selectively created. The electronics are housed compactly within the casing. The diverter can be controlled manually, via buttons/switches or our InduktivCharger, item 8408, enabling digital control capabilities. Like the vehicles, the turnout can be comfortably configured in the CarManager.

Prototype: The VW Beetle Type 11, Version 1302, was manufactured from 1970 to 1972. Equipped with a 1600cc four-cylinder boxer engine, it boasted 50 HP. This model introduced a more modern front axle with MacPherson struts and an independent rear suspension with trailing arms. In 1972, the Beetle surpassed the Ford Model T as the world’s most produced car. Model: The CarMotion variant of this series is prepared for the InduktivCharger, item 8408 and features an integrated receiver coil for wireless charging. Approximately 45 – 60 minutes of runtime under normal driving conditions, up to 30 minutes at maximum speed.It offers: • Charging and programming socket • Fast charging times facilitated by advanced Li-Po batteries • Approximately 45-60 minutes of runtime under normal driving conditions, up to 30 minutes at maximum speed • Easy on/off operation with a reed contact located under the roof • Infrared transmitter/receiver for distance control • Realistic braking and acceleration manoeuvres • Interior lighting, brake lights, turn signals, low/high beams • Visible interior with a driver figure • Compatibility with guide wire, magnetic tape, and infrared control • Inductive charging without the need for additional track aids.L 4.8 x W 1.9 x H 1.7 cm

Robust, low-noise drive unit designed for the motorization of the manually operated 2/3-way turnout (item 8445). Featuring a powerful 10 mm motor and planetary gear, it ensures secure positioning movements. By rearranging the variable end stops, a flexible creation of left, right, or 3-way turnout configurations is possible. The compact electronics are integrated into the housing. Control can be executed manually, via buttons/switches or the InduktivCharger (item 8408), enabling digital control. Like the vehicles, the drive unit can be comfortably configured in the CarManager.

The module allows the transmission of a variety of commands to CarMotion vehicles via infrared signals. These commands range from simple blinking to deceleration and stopping of CarMotion vehicles, for example in front of traffic lights. The two infrared transmitter diodes can be inconspicuously positioned alongside the road or placed horizontally in a small cut-out in the roadway or roadside. Like the vehicles, the module can be conveniently configured in the CarManager. All macros stored in the vehicles can be invoked by the module, including those that cannot be accessed through magnetic sequences for technical reasons. The two IR LEDs transmit different signals depending on the selected operating mode. One of the numerous applications is precise stopping in front of a traffic light or similar. The first IR LED is positioned some distance before the traffic light and sends the command for gradual deceleration when the traffic light is red. The vehicle then gently comes to a stop on an optional stop magnet (north pole). The second IR LED is located in close proximity to the traffic light and sends the start command when the light is green. The module is directly controlled by the Viessmann traffic light controller, items 5094 or 5095, or the level crossing items 5104 and 510) via the control input. The input also allows control of the module through a switch, relay contact, or DCC switch command using a suitable central control unit. Simple commands can also be generated by turning the module on and off, for example, to send blink commands only when a corresponding turnout is set.Board dimensions with cable outlet: ca.
