The instructions below are specific to this particular refrig-
erator car; note that available features (and switches) may differ from other
refrigerator cars and rolling stock.
Program / Run Switch
Your reefer car is automatically assigned an ID#1 when you first receive it. Assign it a new ID
different from the locomotive pulling it. To assign a new ID # to the reefer car in LEGACY and
Command operation follow these steps:
1. Slide the Program/Run switch to the “PROG” position.
2. Place the reefer car on the track.
3. Connect the Command Base and plug it in.
4. Power up the track to 18 Volts AC (50 or 60 Hz).
5. Press ENG on your CAB controller.
6. Enter an unique ID#. Choose any number from 1 to 98 that has not been assigned to another
engine or freight car.
7. Press the SET button on your CAB controller.
8. Slide the Program/Run switch back to the RUN position.
The reefer’s ID# has been set. Be sure to record the new ID# for your reference.
Min/Max Switch
Used to make the sound, simulating the scraping and banging of the contents of the reefer car, less
or more active. When the switch is in the MIN position, the dialog and some background motion
sounds will turn off. This allows you to put more than one sound-equipped reefer car on the same
ID. To do this, set one car to MAX and then trigger loading/unloading. Sound effects will come
from all cars; however dialog will only come from one.
Volume Pot
To adjust the overall volume of sounds,open the hatch at the top of the reefer car, as shown
in Figure 2, insert a small Flathead screwdriver into the Volume Pot adjustment post and turn.
To increase the volume, turn the post clockwise. To decrease the volume, turn the post counter-
clockwise. Your CAB-remote can also adjust volume; the setting of this physical control will limit the
maximum volume your reefer car can produce.
Power your VISION Steel-Sided Reefer Car with an alternating-current (AC) transformer
only. Powering your reefer car with a direct-current (DC) transformer, or in excess of 19
volts AC, may result in damage to sensitive electronic components.
