Connections (Fig.1, 2 & 3)
• Connect terminals 1 and 2 on the back of the locomotive
controller to the track (Fig. 2 & 3).
• Connect terminals 3 and 4 to an LGB transformer.
• You can operate the 51070 electronic locomotive
controller with any LGB transformer / switched mode
power pack. The 51095 transformer / switched mode
power pack is designed to be used with this controller.
The available track current depends on the transformer /
switched mode power pack, up to a maximum of 5 amps.
You can use a transformer / switched mode power pack
with more than 5 amps, but the maximum track current
with this controller is limited to 5 amps. The wire used to
connect the controller to the track can be a maximum of 2
meters / 78 inches long.
Radio Remote Control
The 55055 radio control receiver can be connected to the
51070 locomotive controller (Fig. 2 & 3). A locomotive‘s
speed and direction can be controlled without wires with
the 55016 walk-around controller (with the 55050 radio
control sender). (You can also use the 55015 universal walk-
around controller).
The radio hand controller is only active as long as the
control knob on the 51070 locomotive controller is set at 0
(center position).
