• Welcome to the forum!
  
  That is a nice layout you have planned.
  I'm presuming you are asking how to wire the switches for normal operation. The instructions will be in the box with the switch, but here is a copy of the instructions for you to read beforehand. Page 9 explains how to hook up the controller to the switch. Page 8 explains how to power the switches with a separate power supply.

  Hope this helps, and enjoy building and operating your pike!

• Thanks for the response my real concern is do I isolate the individual switches with block sections to prevent feedback

• I don't see any problems with feedback. Just keep all the insulating pins in the switches as they are from the factory and you should be set. When you build the layout, you will see how the switches work normally.
