The RoadReady Pro Crossing Controller provides more complete and capable crossing control than our budget-friendly RoadReady Basic.  It keeps all the features of the Basic model - including our seven prototype bells, rock solid TrainSpotter optical detectors, and programmable timeouts - and adds prototypical approach sensor logic and the ability to control two or four quadrant gate systems.

The RoadReady Pro kit includes four sensors - enough to do one main track.  You can add a second main track with a RoadReady Sensor Kit, which includes four more TrainSpotters and 8-foot connecting cables.  For even more tracks, it can be connected to our RoadReady Track Expansion Module.

Features

• Plug-and-play detectors and speaker connections - no fiddly terminal blocks!
• Rock solid TrainSpotter optical detection - works in any ambient lighting conditions
• Seven different built-in prototypical crossing bell sounds
• Approach circuit logic for up to two tracks
• Crossing gate control using servos or motors for two-quadrant or four-quadrant gatesnfigurable approach and island timeouts
• Lamp or LED emulation for the crossing signals
• A constant output in addition to left/right flashers, active when the lights are on
• Easy expansion with additional detectors for an additional track
• Works with common anode (common positive) LED grade crossing signals
• Robust, protected signal output drivers will handle 1 amp of current
• Includes control board, four TrainSpotter optical detectors, cables, and speaker
• Expandable with four more TrainSpotters for a second track, or with a Track Expansion Module for even more tracks.
• Universal Power - works from 8V to 24V DC or DCC

Specifications

Control Board: 5.0"(L) x 3.0"(W) x 0.5"(H)

Power: 5 to 24 volts DC or DCC (current largely depends on motor/servos)
