2. Connecting the Transformer
Make sure that the power cords for all of the transformers used
with your layout are disconnected from the household current
before connecting a transformer to the layout!
The transformer is designed for use only with the base station.
Simply insert the snap-in plug on the connecting cable into the
socket on the base station in order to make connections with
the latter.
Caution! Two transformers and base stations must never be con-
nected at the same time to a layout.

4. Short Circuit or Overload
Overload protection
A built-in thermal switch protects the Transformer from damage
in case of an overload or a short circuit. Locomotives on the
layout will come to a stop, accessories cannot be operated and
all lamps connected to the Transformer will go out.
The following procedure is recommended:
1. Unplug the power cords for all transformers from their outlets.
230 V (≈) 50/60 Hz
18 V (=)
400 mA
max. 18 VA
2. Look for the cause of the short circuit on the layout and
correct it.
3. After about 1 minute the thermal switch will go back to being
on. After this amount of time has passed, all Transformers can
be placed in operation again.
If the Transformer should shut off again and you are unable to
locate a short circuit, then the Transformer is overloaded. In this
case the number of users connected to the Transformer must
be reduced.
5. Connections for the Base Station
The Base Station requires the transformer included with the set
as a power source.
Important Note:
The Base Station may be connected only to the trans-
former included with it in this set. No other transformer
!
may be connected to the base station!
5.1 Connecting the Base Station to the Transformer
The Base Station only needs the transformer to supply power.
Therefore, only the connection plug (2) needs to be inserted into
the socket on the base station (3) – please see the illustration
5.2 Operating the IR-Control for the First Time
Before operating this controller for the first time, 2 type AAA
(micro size, not included with the controller) batteries must be
installed in the controller. Please see the following illustration.
