3. Short Circuit or Overload
Overload Protection
A built-in overload protection protects the power pack in the event of an overload or a short circuit. The
locomotives will come to a stop, solenoid accessories cannot be controlled, and all lamps/lights con-
nected to the layout will go out.
The following procedure is recommended:
1. Unplug the power pack from the wall outlet.
2. Look on the layout for the cause of the short circuit and correct it.
3. After about 1 minute the overload protection will go back to regular operation. After this period of time
has passed, the power pack can be used again.
If the power pack shuts off again without a short circuit being found, then the power pack is overloaded.
In this situation the number of users on the layout (locomotives, solenoid accessories, and lamps/lights)
must be reduced.
4. Trouble Running the Train
• If the locomotive does not run, check to make sure that the connections (see setup) are correct or that
the wire insulation was pushed into the terminal or that the switched mode power pack is plugged into
the power outlet.
• If the locomotive becomes damaged, do not use the locomotive anymore. If car becomes damaged,
remove this car from the train and do not use it anymore.
5. Cleaning and Maintenance
• Check to see if hair or dirt gets on the axles on the train and remove this hair or dirt from the axles with
the help of a pair or tweezers so that the train runs correctly.
• Der Zug kann mit einem trockenen, fusselfreien Tuch oder einem weichen Pinsel gereinigt werden.
• Additional information about servicing your locomotive can be found in the instructions for it.
