also i have circuit tracks and each track has two blue wires. how do i connect them to the s88? No schema came wih the s 88 so any help will be appreciated.

Hi! Thanks. after half a day i finally got it to work. Now you mentioned that if i connect the blue wires of the same circuit track to contacts 1 & 2 on the s88 it should work as contact 1 or 2 depending on direction of travel of the loco. Well i tried that but it only registers one way. Is there something im doing wrong? The brown wire in the circuit track is connected to the circuit track itself and i have not connected anything to the earthing socket (T) in the 88.
Where do i check the feedback regarding the direction of travel of my loco??

Please help.

Please first test that the s88 port works.
connect a wire from the "T" to the "2".

If this triggers the CS2 route, then the problem is towards the circuit track and wiring - possibly a mechanical issue with the lever.
If this fails to work it is either the s88 or your route setup.

Hint. to further elliminate a route defintion problem, Use the Layout panel and define a sensor with address "2" - you should see it change between yellow and white as you jumper between "T" and "2".

Agreed - so lets look at the route definitions

Another questions -
- if you manual select the routes (on memory page with stylus/finger) do they work ?

The top figure below shows a similar setup with 2 routes defines
One named "One" and loaded in position A1
the other named "Two" located in position A2

Point: Unlike the 6043 memory, the location on this panel has no relation, what so ever, with the s88 input to be used to trigger it !!! - see later

In the example the Green dot and the "joined" "S" icon against "One", means that route is "intact" i.e All signals and points defined in that route match there configured state (no one has manually changed the position/state of any of them). The "broken" "S" icon against "Two" means that at least one of the devices is in a state that does not match the routes definition.

On the right I have highlighted the Auto/Maunual button.
Unlike the 6043 memory which could only enable/disable ALL routes, the CS2 allows for enabling/disabling in groupes of 8 - as shown the icon with the hand(manual) AND the loco (meaning auto) means that routes A1 to A8 are enabled for s88 triggering - rows B,C and D are disabled.
Note: as shown below a sensor must be entered against a route for it to actually trigger.



In the following figures you can see the edit panels for routes A1 and A2 respectively.

- Its hard to see but the square (A1 or A2) is highlighted
- The Name field is purely optional
- The IMPORTANT part is that the "S88 Module: ? Contact: ?" is set to the correct sensor port number
- - Route A1 is shown configured to be triggered by Sensor 1
- - Route A2 is shown configured to be triggered by Sensor 2
- The right accessory list shows both routes are configured to switch the same solenoid (number 320 - shown with the default icon).
- - Route A1 sets it green,
- - Route A2 sets it red.
