DZ-1090 Signal Bridge Instructions
DZ-1090 instructions
****The signal bridge only needs the RED wire connected to power (12-18V AC
or DC) and the BLACK wire connected to common.
Place the signal over to the tracks. As the train passes under the signal
bridge, the train is detected by sensors looking down on the tracks. When the
train passes under the signal bridge, the indication will change to RED or
“stop” and hold until the train has passed. After the train passes and after
the selected time delay of either 5 or 10 seconds, the signal will change to
YELLOW or “caution”. Then, after another 5 or 10 more seconds, it will change
back to GREEN or “clear”.
The signal only needs power to operate, but it does have an input wire for
each track to provide additional possibilities.
The signal bridge delay time for the change from stop to caution and from
caution to clear can be set by the user. There is a switch for each siqnal on
its circuit board mounted under the signal bridge deck. (See below). To change
the delay, just slide the switch to Long or Short. (SHORT is the factory
setting).
OPTION
– lf the output wire of a signal (or isolated rail) down-track is connected to one of the input wires of the signal bridge, the signal for that track input will hold on stop until the down{rack signal is clear, then the signal bridge signal will cycle back to clear.
Wire Colors and Functions (For the first four (4) tracks.)
RED – Power
BLACK – Common (can be and for isolated rail input, needs to be connected to
track common)
INPUTS
WHITE | Track 1 (closest to ladder) |
---|---|
YELLOW | frack2 |
GREEN Track 3 | (Does not apply for 2Irack bridge) |
BLUE | Track 4 (Does not apply for 2 or 3 track bridge) |
Wire Colors and Functions (For tracks 5-8, if present)
RED – Power
BLACK – Common (can be and for isolated rail input, needs to be connected to
track common)
INPUTS
WHITE | Track 5 (closest to ladder) |
---|---|
YELLOW | Track6 |
GREEN Track 3 | |
BLUE | Track 8 |
A signal bridge for more than 4 tracks will have a second set of power and
input wires

Track centers and bridge side clearances
Re-Calibration – if needed
lf the sensors of the signal bridge are not doing a good job of detecting
trains or if when you place the signal bridge over your tracks and turn on
power it does not go to “GREEN” or ” CLEAR”, you may need to have it re-
calibrate itself. (lt was factory calibrated and tested.) This is done by
pressing the re-calibrate button, If the sensors of the signal bridge are not
doing a good job of detecting trains or if when you place the signal bridge
over your tracks and turn on power it does not go to “GREEN” or” CLEA”, you
may need to have it re-calibrate itself. (It was factory calibrated and
tested.) This is done by pressing the re-calibrate button, which is shown in
the drawing on page one. Semaphore signals will go to the 45 degree caution
position and lighted signals will go to caution. After up to 60 secs., the
lighted signals should go to GRN or CLEAR.
Semaphore shouold cycle to the GRN/CLEAR position. (The 7-light Pennsy will be
YELLOW vertical).
This can easily be repeated if the location is changed.

Since the DZ-1090 signal Bridge is modular, any bridge can be modilied to add
tracks or signals. For custom versions, please contact ZStuffExpress at
www.zstuffexpress.com or 708-352-91 05.
