User Manual

MODE SWITCH
The switch in the Mode I position provides more track voltage for LGB
trains only; when the switch is in the Mode II position, the track voltage is
lowered for the operation of HO scale or smaller locomotives.
INDICATORS
POWER MONITOR
The Power Monitor lamp is used to give an approximate indication of
output voltage. You will find this very useful in detecting shorts or opens
on your track, etc. If the throttle control is left in an ON position and the
lamp light intensity increases, this indicates less current is being drawn. If
the light becomes less intense, more current is being drawn. If the lamp
goes out suddenly, this indicates a short circuit and will shortly be
followed by the circuit breaker cutting off the power. A slight flickering of
this lamp during operation or during switching the POWER SWITCH
“ON” or “OFF” is normal and does not indicate a problem.
OUTPUT TERMINALS
TRACK D.C.
These two terminals should be connected to the track mainline. Direction
is controlled by the switch on the front panel. If the switch position does
not correspond to the train direction, just reverse the two wires to these
terminals. The speed control will control the output from these terminals.
ACCESSORIES A.C.
These two terminals are for use with AC accessories only, such as switch
machine controls, lights, an MRC Tech II Cab Control, etc. Hook-up
polarity does not matter.
PARENTS-PLEASE NOTE
As with any electrically operated unit, it is always best to periodically
examine it and have any potentially hazardous part replaced or repaired.
