If you're already using 145Cs, just pretend that terminal 1 of the 153C doesn't exist and use terminals 2 and 3 just as you would the two terminals of a 145C.

The Center post of the 153 is the ground.  Connect this to the Common post on the transformer.

Connect the single post on the 153c to the positive post on the transformer.

Connect the upper post to the upper post on the 153, and the lower to the lower.

Check is the semiphore is working correctly.  Occupied, down.  Of not reverse the connections on the upper and lower posts of the semiphore.

Hey,

Can anybody tell me how to connect a 151 to a 153c contactor? The three semaphores I have all use 145c contactors, and I dont know how to use them with 153c's. Can anybody tell me how? Question [?]
