Aristocraft/Crest #ART-5474 receiver installation using battery power.
DC Battery power input.
The "+" power is an input for the sound system. You
must connect the "+" and "-" correctly. Failure to do
so will damage the sound unit and is not covered
under warranty. This power comes from your
on-board battery which is also used to power the
ART-5474 radio receiver.
An on/off switch, item 524, can also be installed in
series with the "+" input (J2) to turn the sound unit
on and off. Leaving J3 connected to the motor
leads, with the sound unit turned off, will not
damage the sound unit.

Battery Power Operators:
Track Input Power, J1, does not connect to anything in
this type of installation
.
J2 is the DC power input. Remember to keep the
polarity correct. Plus to Plus (+) and Minus to Minus (-)!
Input voltage of 7 to 24 volts DC or AC. Absolute
maximum input is 35 volts DC! Your receiver battery
power may be the same power as the sound system
and amplifier (if present).
If you are using item 671 or 672, 11 or 22 watt amplifier,
then connect the DC power to it's input power as well.
Other items from the
ART-5474 receiver may
be connected as desired.
Diesel sound: Connect to motor lead power (if not already connected). Then connect the
motor leads to pins 2 (black) and 3 (white) of J3. This connection tells the sound system what
speed/RPM to operate the diesel's prime mover.
Steam sound: Connect to motor lead power (if not already connected). Then connect the
motor leads to pins 2 (black) and 3 (white) of J3. This connection tells the sound system what
rate to operate the auto-chuff. If you are using the "SYNC" input, don't connect anything to J3!
