Recently I bought 3 Burns Mfg. Train Detectors from a friend. There is no wiring diagram & I haven't been able to locate anything on the enternet that would help. These things are black & about 2" square. Has 3 screw connecters & 6 wires running out thru a hole next to a 5amp breaker.
The wires are 2 whites, 1 orange, 1 black, 1 green, & 1 red.
Is there any way I can use them on my HO layout & anyone know what the wires are for & if I need anything else to go w/them?
Sounds like a lot of trouble & should I just go buy some train connectors for HO & forget these. I didn't pay much for these.:confused:

Hi Larry,

Did a search and found a product that seems to be for O gauge. Not much more than that. Not sure how it works. Best detectors i have seen are made by Circuitron, especially for DC.
