Connecting Lionel Tubular Remote Switches
T
he ASC2 can operate a variety of Lionel tubular track switches.
1. Attach a wire to the THROUGH (straight path) terminal on the first switch and connect it to
the 1 T terminal on the ASC2 unit.
2. Attach another wire to the OUT (curved path) terminal on the first switch and connect it to
the 1 O terminal on the ASC2 unit.
3. Attach the final wire to the COMMON terminal on the first switch and connect it to the
COMM terminal to the right of the #1 and #2 terminals on the ASC2 unit. Refer to the
bullet items below when locating the common terminals:
• LTI O gauge switches #3010 and #3011: #2 terminal on the side
• Postwar O22 and MPC O gauge #5132 and #5133: center terminal
• Super O switches: single post closest to the motor
• O-27 and O42 #1122, #1122e, #5121, and #5122: terminal closest to the motor
4. Repeat this process for any additional switches, filling the empty switch terminals on the
ASC2 in the same way.
Refer to page 18 and set the ASC2 switch sub-mode to supply momentary power. Constant/
latching power will damage the switches.
