Apollo Duet Kato Turnout Control Panel with CDU

This panel-mount accessory adds an integrated Capacitive Discharge Unit (CDU) and six high-quality momentary-contact switches to the Duet controller, providing a convenient way to operate solenoid-type turnout motors. The built-in CDU stores energy between operations and delivers a brief, high-current pulse to the turnout motor, ensuring positive, reliable switching without overheating the coils.

It is suitable for Kato solenoid turnouts, and can be used with the Duet controller directly, or with a single controller with a separate 12V supply for the CDU. The module simplifies wiring by combining the switching and CDU circuitry into a single compact panel-mount unit. Multiple CDUs together can used for larger layouts.
