INSTALATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR MODEL ‘HF-2’
Permanently connected between track and controller, and fully automatic, the HF-2
track cleaner will greatly enhance the period of operation and low speed locomotive
movements by superimposing a harmless high frequency signal on to the track
power. When resistance, due to poor contact and above a preset level is detected
the high frequency signal is automatically turned on, ionising the air gap between
rail and conducting locomotive wheel and burning of the dirt and residue. When
contact is restored the high frequency signal is turned off.
Whilst the locomotives are in operation the neon indicators will flicker from time to
time, depending upon the track condition.
Designed for gauges ‘Z’, ‘N’, ‘OO’, or similar the HF-2 will work on all types of track.
Input voltage range 10 to 20Vac. Maximum track current 1 Ampere. This unit will not
function with High Frequency Lighting Generators, Multiple Train Control Systems or
with accessories that are powered from the track and some power clips. Water
based glues in the region of the track should be allowed to fully dry before use.
Track cleaners must be fully isolated from additional controllers and may only be
common returned with other track cleaning circuits.
Note: Incorrect connection may damage the unit. AVOID DROPPING - DELICATE
ELECTRONICS. The unit has no serviceable parts and should not be opened.
Doing so may invalidate your warranty.
GUARANTEE: We undertake to replace and fit, any parts found defective within the
lifetime of the unit, providing the unit is returned, has not been tampered with and
the required parts remain available. This guarantee does not affect your statutory
rights. We reserve the right to vary design or specification without notice.
Not suitable for children under 14 years unless supervised by an adult.

Connect the unit as shown
in the diagram. Without a
locomotive on the tracks the
neon indicators will glow
and it may be possible to
detect a tingling sensation
when touching the track.
Placing a locomotive on the
track will cause the relevant
neon indicator to extinguish.
