The Hattons Digital Solenoid Point Motor Decoder (manufacturer part number HAT-PM-DEC) is a model railway accessory designed to control solenoid‑type point motors. It accepts a digital command signal and provides the required power to operate the motor, allowing points to be set remotely via a compatible digital control system.
The decoder is gauge‑independent, meaning it can be fitted to any model railway gauge. It features standard input connections for digital control and output terminals for the solenoid, and it can be programmed to suit the user's operating preferences, including motor direction, timing and voltage settings.
Installation is straightforward: the unit mounts within a point motor housing, and wiring is performed according to the supplied schematic. Once programmed, the decoder responds to digital commands to move the points quickly and reliably, improving the operation of model railway signalling and routing.
