Using Circuitron's proven opto-electronic detection technology, the DT-3 accurately detects approaching trains without requiring any modifications to locomotives, coaches or freight cars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCapable of handling anything from a single locomotive to a long freight consist, the DT-3 delivers dependable crossing activation regardless of train length. Its non-contact optical sensing system ensures smooth operation while maintaining complete compatibility with existing rolling stock fleets, making installation simple and unobtrusive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike many train detection systems, the DT-3 operates completely independently of track power. This allows it to be used on layouts powered by DC, AC or Digital Command Control (DCC) systems, making it an excellent choice for modellers seeking a flexible and future-proof crossing detection solution. Suitable for any scale, the DT-3 can be integrated into a wide range of signalling and automation projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DT-3 can be used to control Circuitron alternating flashers, bell ringers, relays and other automated accessories, making it ideal for creating realistic grade crossing warning systems. Powered by a separate low-voltage supply, the detector remains independent of track conditions and locomotive current draw, ensuring consistent performance across a wide range of operating environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DT-3 is an excellent choice for single-direction approaches to grade crossings, industrial sidings, automated warning systems and train-activated scenic effects, delivering dependable operation and prototype-style functionality across a wide variety of model railway applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProven opto-electronic train detection with no rolling stock modifications required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with DC, AC and DCC-powered layouts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReliable operation with trains ranging from a single locomotive to long freight consists\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAdditional Information:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetection Method: Opto-electronic train detection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirection of Detection: Single direction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrain Length Dependency: None\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRolling Stock Modification Required: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrack Power Compatibility: DC, AC and DCC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating Power Supply: 10V – 18V AC or DC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccessory Compatibility: Circuitron flashers, bell ringers, relays and other control circuits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable Scales: All model railway scales\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstallation Type: Lineside optical detection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMeasurements:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength: 76.2 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidth: 50.8 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Circuitron","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58557169566080,"sku":"CTN-800-5203","price":29.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0225\/2858\/9896\/files\/ctn800-5203.jpg?v=1785229477","url":"https:\/\/railsofsheffield.com\/products\/circuitron-800-5203-dt-3-grade-crossing-detector-single-direction","provider":"Rails of Sheffield","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
