Busch 5725 Magnetic impulse switch

Magnetic impulse switches (reed contacts) are used instead of track contacts for switching relays, signals, points, etc. used. The switching impulse is triggered by a magnet attached to the train. By installing the contacts in different positions (e.g. transversely or longitudinally to the direction of travel of the train), train detection can be easily implemented. This makes it possible, for example, for freight trains to trigger different switching operations than express trains. The impulse switches are so small that they can be built into the track instead of sleepers. The contacts are installed in a glass tube, so contamination is excluded and maintenance-free continuous operation is guaranteed. If larger power consumers are to be switched (e.g. several points at the same time), th.
