3. Short Circuit or Overload
Overload Protection
A built-in overload protection protects the power pack in the event of an overload or
a short circuit. The locomotives will come to a stop, solenoid accessories cannot be
controlled, and all lamps/lights connected to the layout will go out.
The following procedure is recommended:
1. Unplug the power pack from the wall outlet.
2. Look on the layout for the cause of the short circuit and correct it.
3. After about 1 minute the overload protection
will go back to regular operation.
After this period of time has passed, the power pack can be used again.
If the power pack shuts off again without a short circuit being found, then the power
pack is overloaded. In this situation the number of users on the layout (locomotives,
solenoid accessories, and lamps/lights) must be reduced.
4. Trouble Running the Train
• If the locomotive does not run, check to make sure that the connections (see
setup) are correct or that the wire insulation was pushed into the terminal or that
the switched mode power pack is plugged into the power outlet.
• If the locomotive becomes damaged, do not use the locomotive anymore. If car
becomes damaged, remove this car from the train and do not use it anymore.
5. Cleaning and Maintenance
• Check to see if hair or dirt gets on the axles on the train and remove this hair or dirt
from the axles with the help of a pair or tweezers so that the train runs correctly.
• The train can be wiped with a dry, lint-free cloth.
