High Frequency Electronic Track Cleaner

Electronic Automatic Single Track Cleaner for use with all types of controllers.  The unit superimposes a harmless high frequency signal over the output from the controller.  When a poor contact between loco and rail is detected the unit switches on, ionising the gap and burning off the dirt, switching off again when contact is restored.

INSTALATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR MODEL ‘HF-1’ Permanently connected between track and controller, and fully automatic, the HF-1 track cleaner will greatly enhance the period of operation and low speed locomotive movements by superimposing a harmless high frequency signal on to the track power. When resistance, due to poor contact and above a preset level is detected the high frequency signal is automatically turned on, ionising the air gap between rail and conducting locomotive wheel and burning of the dirt and residue. When

contact is restored the high frequency signal is turned off.

Whilst the locomotive is in operation the neon indicator will flicker from time to time,

depending upon the track condition. Designed for gauges ‘Z’, ‘N’, ‘OO’, or similar the HF-1 will work on all types of track. Input voltage range 10 to 20Vac. Maximum track current 1 Ampere. This unit will not function with High Frequency Lighting Generators, Multiple Train Control Systems or with accessories that are powered from the track and some power clips. Water based glues in the region of the track should be allowed to fully dry before use. Track cleaners must be fully isolated from additional controllers and may only be common returned with other track cleaning circuits.
