LoDi-KSM-P

Why is a Reverse Loop Module Needed?

In digital 2-rail model railway systems, reverse loops occur when a train enters a turnaround loop and returns to the original track. This causes the polarity of the rails to cross, which leads to a short circuit if not switched correctly.

The LoDi-KSM-P detects this moment and instantly switches the polarity — and it does so without the need for contact tracks.

Technical Highlights of the LoDi-KSM-P

✅ Specifically designed for large scales – Ideal for Gauge 0, 1, and G
✅ Automatic & manual switching – Easy control via switch decoder
✅ Track-format independent – Works with all digital control systems
✅ RailCom compatible – Transmits locomotive data through the reverse loop to feedback modules
✅ Short-circuit protection – Module and tracks are protected against overload
✅ Not detected by feedback modules – Locomotives still trigger occupancy detection as usual

RailCom & Feedback Module Compatibility

The LoDi-KSM-P is fully RailCom compatible and reliably transmits Channel 1 & 2 locomotive data through the reverse loop section. A major advantage: the module itself is not detected as occupied by feedback modules, so the normal occupancy detection of the locomotive remains intact.

Flexible Control & Compatibility

The LoDi-KSM-P can operate in both automatic and manual modes. For manual polarity switching, an external switch decoder can be used. It is compatible with the following LoDi-Operator modules:

• LoDi-Operator 16-SD-FL
• LoDi-Operator 4-WD-DC
• LoDi-Operator 4-WD-AC

It can also be used with any other switch decoder control system.
