3. Connecting the Transformer
3.2.3 60 VA Transformer for Conventional Control of Solenoid Accessories.
Connect the brown wire to the left output on the special plug. Connect the yellow
wire to the right output on the special plug. Here, you must also strip 5-8 mm /
approx. 1/8" of insulation from the ends of the wires, twist the wire strands together,
push them into the openings on the output and tighten the set screws to hold them
in place. Important! Do not mix up the yellow and the brown wires. As you look at
both connections from the back, the yellow wire must always be on the right side
and the brown wire must always be on the left side.
It is possible to use a special plug for power on the back of the Mobile Station and
to use the other special plug for powering solenoid accessories (turnouts, signals,
etc.). (See Figure 5).
However, these magnetic articles must not be connected electrically to the rails.
They include the level crossing, contact rails or shunting switches, fixed shunting
switch drives with lighting in M or K rails, signals with earth connection to the rails
etc. All these products require a separate transformer for power.
The connections for a turnout mechanism are shown in Figure 3.
The connections for a light bulb that is constantly on and that can be turned on/off
from a control box are shown in Figure 2.
The connections for a signal can be found in Figure 4.
A light or solenoid accessory must never be connected to two
different transformers at the same time
If two solenoid accessories are connected to the same circuit track or
control box, then both solenoid accessories must be powered from the
same transformer.
