I have this uncoupler 24977 that has two wires attached,..one yellow and one blue. I have the märklin M83 black. Which wire goes where in this setup for me to power and use the uncoupler. Answers will be greatly appreciated as I know the workings of three wires...but two for me is a head spin Thank you so much Vernon

A turnout has 2 electric magnets, and the uncoupler only has one. Connect the yellow to the common connector and the blue to either of the other 2 connectors. Configure the cs3 or other system to use an uncoupler to that port. Peder

There are two solutions. a) buy another M83 which you would plug into your existing M83 and plug your uncoupler into one of the unused terminals. The advantage here is that you then have room for expansion with more turnouts and/or uncouplers b) if a pair of your existing turn outs which could change together, like a crossover these can be connected to the same terminal on your M83 freeing up a terminal for your uncoupler. Hope this makes sense Adrian

Joined: 14/09/2024(UTC) Posts: 6 Location: Western Cape South Africa		Thank you so much Adrian. I was wondering whether I could do two turnouts into one. I think I'm gonna do that with two on the same radius and thus have a spare terminal for the uncoupler. That should work, right? Uncoupler to be assigned a new address,..like from 5 onward...is that right? Cheers Adrian

Ie. if it's a siding, the point direction going into the siding, can be operated together with the uncoupler. I have done this with my analogue layout. Less switches to worry about.
