The Linker™ and The Activator™
Turnout And Accessory Control Directly From Your Throttle

Remote control of turnouts and many types of accessories is easily accomplished with the combination of a single AirWire Linker and one or more AirWire Activators. Together, they link your throttle commands to items such as switch machines, lights, pumps or just about any other type of device found on a typical garden railroad.

The Linker

The Linker scans all AirWire frequencies and combines the received activation commands with DC power and sends the combined signal to the companion Activators using a single pair of wires.

Only a single Linker is needed to control and supply power to as many as 25 Activators. The Linker is a radio receiver that receives throttle commands, adds power and sends the signal over a pair of wires that are shared by all Activators. The Activator requires a source of external power which can be a battery or our DCPS120 power supply . For more information about the DCPS120 power supply, click on the Accessories link. The Linker is protected against accidental short circuits, overheating and overloads. Set up is quick and simple using the front panel switches.

Easy Hookup - All wire connections to the Linker are through plug-in terminal blocks. All wires can be connected or disconnected at one time by simply plugging or unplugging.

Excellent Range - The RF receiver features clean reception of weak signals over a long range. It works equally well sitting on the ground or up on a platform.

Multiple Linkers For Greater Range - Multiple Linkers can be used on a large railroad where there is a large distance between clusters of turnouts.

The Activator

The Activator is a complete accessory decoder capable of controlling four independent accessories such as switch machines. It can also control lights, signals, stationary motors, pumps and relays. Just about any kind of DC device can be directly controlled by the Activator. If it controls a relay, then any kind of device or voltage can be controlled via the relay contacts.

No Power Supply Needed - All power comes from the two wires going back to the Linker. All Activators share the same two wires.

Four Independent Outputs - Each Activator has 4 separate and independent outputs. Each output pair is rated at 500mA or 1/2 amp continuous.

Compatible With All Types Of Switch Machines - This includes air-actuated machines such as those from Sunset Valley, momentary twin coil like LGB switch machines, or solenoid type machines.

Simple Setup - Absolutely no confusing programming since all controls and setup options are done from the front panel switches and dials.

With Or Without The Plastic Case - The Activator is available in a rugged enclosure with pluggable terminal strips or without an enclosure for mounting inside line-side structures. Either version features the same capabilities. The bare board version uses standard terminal strips permanently mounted to the board.

Local Push-Button Inputs - In addition to being remotely activated, a modular jack allows the use of push buttons.
