Kato Turnouts and YD8008s

 

We used the Digikiejs DR5000 and DK50018s along with the DR4101s to operate an N Scale layout with Kato track and turnouts. ?They operated well, but the switches had a humming sound when track power was applied.
?
We would like to use the YD7010 with the YD8008 Solenoid Switch Decoders and the YD6940s to hookup a new layout using Kato track. ?

Has anyone tried this setup and if so, do the new Solenoid decoders stop the humming?
?
Thanks,
?

What CV47 number do you have set on the DR4018 or DK50018?

Hi Dennis,
?
Since we moved, we no longer have the layout that used Digikeijs. ?I do not remember setting CV47. ?We used the Digikeijs app to set up the switch decoders.
?
At this time, we are just trying to decide what DCC system to use to run our new layout.
?
Thanks.

It sounds like the 50018 was not set up correctly and you were using it as an On/Off switch rather than setting the correct option for solenoid motors which would explain why the motors were buzzing all the time.

Hundreds of YD8008 are used in this way, never had complaints about "Humming"?

Best thing to do however would be to use a SMPS of about 15-18VDC.
