Cruise Commander Lite Connector Pin Designations 

 

 

 

Installation Overview

 

Tin the wires that go into the mini screw terminal strip to prevent stray stands of wire.  Be 
sure that the screws in the mini terminals are turned counter-clockwise to open, before 
wiring.  Do not over tighten terminal screws when attaching the wires. 
 
The PROGRAM / RUN switch should be positioned in a convenient location in the chassis.  
If the engine currently has a reverse lockout switch it can be used in place of the included 
switch.  The switch is used to configure the receiver using the Program mode or Run mode. 
The switch is in the RUN position when it is open (with the slide lever over the unused 
terminals) and in Program when in the closed position. 

  

Locate a suitable mounting location for the Cruise Commander Lite.  Be certain the shell 
will fit without obstruction.   If you plan to add RailSounds, the Sound Commander, or keep 
the horn present in the low cost engines, be sure there is room for everything before 
mounting.  When possible, use the original “E” unit mounting bracket.
