RailKing F-3 Diesel Engine
Remote Control
The RailKing
®
Remote Control System included with this set uses wireless
infrared technology, much like a television remote control, to allow users
remote control of their trains from up to 15 feet away. The remote and
lock-on replace the control box found with M.T.H.’s Z-500
™
and Z-750
®
transformers, and they are designed for use with moderately powered
transformers such as these. It is compatible with virtually any manufacturer’s
engines.
Because the RailKing remote is an infrared line-of-sight remote, you must
aim it at the lock-on in order to send signals to the track. The green LED atop
the lock-on will come on, indicating the track is receiving power. Subsequent
pushes of any buttons on the remote will cause the LED to blink, indicating it
is receiving the signal.
Note: The RailKing
®
Remote Control and Remote Lock-on will not
operate engines equipped with pre-1997 versions of Proto-Sound
®
or
with Proto-One,
™
Proto-Plus,
™
Proto-Deluxe,
™
aftermarket systems.
