Realistic AutoRev Model: ARM-5-ADC $99.95 USD Z to G Scale Independent Adjustment of Acceleration and Deceleration Adjustable Stop Time ( 0 to 4.25min.) Memory Stop and Start Firmware(Software) Upgradeable** Reversing Cycle Controlled by Delay Time and Throttle Track Power and Reversing Light Polarity Protection on AC and DC connections 0 - 100% Throttle Operation Screw Terminal Connections Includes Screws and Standoffs One Year Warranty The Realistic AUTOREV provides automated back and forth running of a rail vehicle on short or long track. The module is AC powered allowing 0 to100% throttle operation. Typical uses include trolleys, streetcars, narrow gauge lines and mine trams. The module is also suited for animated holiday displays in store windows, on the mantle or under the tree. Running time can be adjusted from 0s to 4.5min. Installation requires isolated sections of track, with rail gaps at each end. Simple screw terminals make all electrical connections to the module. The module is designed to work with Z to G scaled locomotives which draw less than 5 Amps.

Acceleration and Deceleration

A NEW feature of the Realistic AUTOREV is  prototypical acceleration and deceleration or braking. Independent control of acceleration and deceleration allows any combination of prototypical operation.

Memory Stop and Start

The Memory Stop and Start feature is also NEW. This feature ensures that the rail vehicle remembers what direction it is going when powered OFF. Once power is turned back ON the rail vehicle accelerates and continues in the same direction.

Firmware(Software) Upgradable

The  module is also software upgradeable so that as new features become available you can send in your module for a firmware upgrade.

Upgrades are available FREE** for one year from the date of purchase.

** S&H not included.

Polarity Protection on AC and DC Inputs

Polarity protection is provided on all AC and DC connections to the module.  This feature eases installation as you can never hook up the module backwards. When DC power is applied in the correct polarity the track indicator will light up.

Track Power and Status Indicator

The track power indicator ensures the module is connected correctly. The brightness of the indicator is proportional to the input track voltage. The higher the track voltage the brighter the track indicator glows.

The reversing indicator lights up when the rail vehicle is traveling in the reverse direction.
