User Guide

operate with the brake
switch and other controls,
same as if they were on
the ENGINEER.
Because only the control functions
are remoted to the hand control, all
power to the train continues to come
from the ENGINEER which remains
connected to the track. If you unplug
the hand unit, control returns to the
ENGINEER. If your train is in motion
when you unplug, the ENGINEER will
continue this motion because the
brake switch is in LAP. If you were in
reverse when you unplug you will
continue in reverse even though the
ENGINEER is in forward because of
the interlock feature of the reverse
switch.
ONE FINAL COMMENT:
The black finish of the ENGINEER is a
powder coating which makes the
application of the white lettering and
art work very difficult to apply. We
have taken great care to protect this
lettering however because of the
powder coat base the lettering is
subject to scratching. PLEASE
HANDLE WITH CARE.

In normal positions, all connections are "OPEN". This means "LAP" and "Forward".
When connecting 4-5 emergency brake application will occur, having a series
resistance (such as found in our hand controller) will cause a slow braking effect.
Connecting 4-3 will "RELEASE" the brakes and allow accelleration at the "throttle"
response rate to the "SPEED" setting. Connecting 1-2 places the ENGINEER in
"Reverse"
If your ENGINEER is equipped with our SOUND CONTROLLER for our In
Locomotive DC Sound System, then terminals 7-9 are internally connected. As
shown by connecting 9-8 the WHISTLE signal is transmitted. Connecting 9-7 the
BELL signal is transmitted. Terminals 7, 8, and 9 together signals both the WHISTLE
and BELL. When the ENGINEER is set for zero volts output and a WHISTLE or BELL
signal is sent. The overload indicator may flash momentarily, this is normal.
DO NOT short any terminals to others that are not to be connected as internal
damage will occur!!
