Problem with new marklin digitial signals

hello


I have 4 digital marklin digital signals (the ones with MFX decoder) (2 form signals and 2 light signals).

I programmed them using my CS 2 and they change the lights (red / green) and form signals they change the arm position correctly.

I wanted to use them to stop my trains (to be a bit realisitc) and I did wiring as shown in the digram attached.


However, the train does stop when it enteres the isiloated section (because no current) and then when I make the signal green again it does not move. the current does not come back to the isolated section. What am I doing wrong here? plz help

thx a lot

Is your far right piece of track (as shown in the diagram, with the red wire attached) connected to your bus or to other pieces of track which are live? This is the source of power for the isolated section when the signals switch to the "go" position.

Hi!
Same question on facebook with many comments.

You show a picture from the manual and now we have to find the difference between the wiring diagram and your installation. Time to polish the crystal ball.
Incorrect wiring or defective signal.
Regards
Tom
