Product Information:
The CIRCUITRON AR-1 is a basic automatic polarity reverser that is ideally suited for use with point to point layouts, displays, test tracks or reverse loop setups. The AR-1 utilizes an integrated circuit design and can safely switch up to 5 amp loads, making it compatible with virtually all scales. The AR-1 is constructed on a 2” x 3” printed circuit board and requires a filtered 12 - 15 volt DC supply for proper operation. See the catalog section on POWER SUPPLIES for appropriate converters. The AR-1 includes 2 Opto-Sensors which are adequate for most normal hookups (see APPLICATIONS section). Pushbuttons may be incorporated into the circuit for manual reversing, if desired.
The AR-1CC is identical to the standard AR-1 except that it contains the 4 Opto-Sensors necessary to provide fully automated reverse loop polarity switching for command control layouts
