2. Connections for the Train Controller
Important Note:
The train controller may only be connected to the po-
!
wer pack included with the set. The use of other power
packs or transformers is not authorized!
2.1 Connecting the Train Controller to the Power Pack
The train controller requires the power pack as a source of
power.
Therefore, only the power pack (1) with the cable (2) may be
plugged into the socket on the train controller (7) – see page 2.
Caution! You must never have two power packs and train con-
trollers connected to the layout at the same time.
3. Connections for the Power Pack
The power pack may not be plugged into the wall outlet until the
wiring for the layout is finished.
4. Technical Data
See the specifications plate on the power pack.
5. 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 connected 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 accessori-
es, and lamps/lights) must be reduced.
