Turnouts
The sortiment has four electrical turnouts.The left and the right turnout feature the same length either of 718 mm with 15°R or 481 mm with 15°R.
The turnouts of KATO have a high reliability and durability. Adverse the other systems, KATO has a speciality. The electrical turnouts haven't three cables (as alternating current), but the KATO turnouts have two-pole cable direct current pole reversal basis.
This preserved of the turnouts and prevented a possibly unintentional burning the gears. Further it acts with that turnouts so-called stop- or "thinking"-turnouts. Depending on whether the turnout to turn off or straight on drive posed it. The electric circuit is closed or disconnected. A collision of trains can be prevented.
Please consider, that the stop turnouts must be switched into dependence, in order to keep the electric circuit closed. It must always the complete roadway to switch.
For the function are the two rails on the inside responsible. Depending upon position (turn off or straight on) the turnouts are conducting or not. Some settings/changes can make on the underside of the rail. The combination of the screws, swayed the operation of the turnouts.
The speciality of UNITRACK
A characteristic of the KATO turnouts are a pre-wired switch motor is factory installed into each UNITRACK turnout, they can be operated manually or from a remote position simply by plugging into a Turnout Control Switch. In the turnouts are extremely robust and passage-strong magnet
coil drive. By the special construction, the turnouts remain very low and appear orginal accurate.
The electrical turnouts will be able by a two-pole connection cable supplied the electricity and the extension cable for turnouts will be extended. You can set many turnout switches together. For the first switch you need a detector,because you must transfer the alternating current of the transformer to a direct current.
Connection with turnout switch
The turnouts of KATO provided by a two-pole connection cable with direct current (DC). With the help of the KATO turnout-switch, the turnouts are electrically placed. Use exclusively this switch. With this product, you have troublefree enterprise.
KATO-turnouts are magnet article with one coil and are represented by pole reversal with direct current. Impulse contact switches don't therefore for magnet article with two coils other producers for example "Fleischmann", "Minitrix", Arnold etc. to be used!
WARNING: It's necessary, that a detector is installed between the transformer and the turnout, before you connect the turnout or the turnout switches on the transformer.
Detector for turnout switch
The detector (Art.No. 78503) will be connected on the corresponding exit of the transformer (brown/white). This product changed the alternating current of the transformer in direct current.

| Functionality | STOP-Turnout | NOT-STOP-Turnout | "cuting open" turnout |
| Curved Side | Power Routing | Non Power Routing | Non Power Routing |
| Straight Side | Power Routing | Non Power Routing | Non Power Routing |
| Frog Power | ON | ON | OFF |
Consequence | The electricity flows depending on position of the turnout. The respective electric circuit is closed or discontinued. A crash from lokomotives to be impeded. | No matter how the turnout is posed - the two electric circuit (curved- or straight side) are closed.The Frog Power rises "ON", in order to ensure also for small locomotiveswith only one power input optimal current supply. The frog power was "OFF" the locomotive obtained no electricity and a short circuit to create. | No matter how the turnout is posed - the two electric circuit (curved- or straight side) are closed. The Frog Power rises "OFF" and is currentless in this case. |
