2.2 Connecting the Train Controller to the Power Pack
The locomotive controller needs the switched mode power pack for power. Therefore
only the switched mode power pack (1) may be plugged with the cable (5) into the
socket of locomotive controller (7) – see illustrations on Page 4, Figure 5 on Page 6.
Caution!
You must never have two power packs and train controllers con-
nected to the same power circuit (track circuit) at the same time.
2.3 Connections for the Power Pack
The power pack may not be plugged into the wall outlet until the wiring for the layout
is finished.
2.4 Technical Data
See the specifications plate on the power pack.
Dear Parents,
Power packs for toys are not suitable to be used as toys. The use of power
packs must always be done under the supervision of adults.
Make sure you teach your children to use the power pack only in the manner
described in the instructions.
Make sure that you teach your children about the dangers of the household current
system.
Make sure you inspect the condition of the power pack and its connections to the
wall outlet for damage at regular intervals (depending on how often the power pack
is used to play with the train), at least once a week. This must be done with the
power pack unplugged from the wall outlet. If you have the slightest suspicion that
there is damage, the power pack may not be used again until it has been checked
and repaired by the LGB Repair Department.

1. Safety Notes
Make sure you read the following safety notes before using a LGB power pack for the
first time:
• The power pack may only be connected to a wall outlet with voltage that is the
same as indicated on the specifications plate on the power pack.
• The power pack is designed for use in a dry area only.
• The power pack is not a toy. It is used to supply current to a model railroad layout.
• Never hold the power pack by its power cord when transporting it.
• Check the condition of the power cord regularly and also check the housing
for damage. This visual check may be carried out only when the power pack is
unplugged from the wall outlet. If you have the slightest suspicion that there is
damage, the power pack may not be used again until it has been checked and re-
paired by an authorized service organization with the appropriate skills (example:
LGB Repair Department). In this situation make sure that you dispose of the power
pack in the proper manner or send it to the LGB Repair Department for exchange.
• The permanently attached power cord for the power pack may not be changed in
any way.2. Connections for the Locomotive Controller and the Track
2.1 Connecting the Locomotive Controller to the Track
Screw the terminal clips to the track. Connect the red wire and the blue wire to the
locomotive controller. (See Figures 1 – 7, Page 5/6)
Important Note:
