PTC Model 5 is being been developed as the natural evolution of the NYRS turntable indexing system — incorporating updated drive technology while preserving the accuracy, reliability, and sensor-free operation that PTC users expect.
NOTE: Even though the PTC4 will no longer be available with motors, we will still be able to supply PTC4 electronics to upgrade PTC3 systems. It uses the same motor and you can just plug it in. It may require an extension cable if your track selector is more than 2′ away from the motor.
Features
The PTC4 is built on one printed circuit board with keypad and display on one side and components on the far side. An anodized silk screened panel is mounted on the board for mounting in the layout fascia or in a control panel.
On board connections include power, motor, motor run signals, USB and APR2 connector. See user manual on downloads page for details.
