For best results the sensor switch should be positioned slightly off center from the
magnets path, otherwise a double chuff may be generated as the magnets north and
south poles move past the sensor switch. Use Zap-A-Gap or similar adhesive to
mount the sensor and magnet.
Locate the 3 position trigger cable assembly and connect the orange wires to the
wires from the reed switch sensor. It does not matter which wire goes where. While
referring to Figure 7, plug in the 3 position connector at the designated point on the
Railsounds commander circuit board.
Figure 7 – Trigger connection
Caution
- Both of the orange wires must be connected directly to the reed switch
sensor wires. Any connection from the reed switch sensor to the chassis or to a
chassis (AC) common connection will result in a destroyed Railsounds Commander.

Power and Serial Data connections.
Applies To: All powered, un-powered, conventional, and command (TMCC)
applications. Track power must be available in the unit where the Railsounds
Commander is being installed. Serial data is only used during TMCC operations.
Refer to Figure 8 and locate the 3 position to 4 position Power & Data cable
assembly. This provides a simple direct connection between the Railsounds
Commander and other Electric Railroad Company products that have a 4 pin
connector for power and serial data output.
