Connecting the Transformer & Installing DCS Remote
Commander Set
Your set comes with M.T.H.'s latest DCS System, the DCS Remote Commander.
The DCS Remote Commander includes a handheld Remote which communicates
with a Receiver powered by a UL approved Transformer to provide an easy-to-use,
safe power source for your new train set. To install the DCS Remote Commander
and Transformer please use the following instructions:
1. Ensure the Z-500 transformer is unplugged.
2. Install two AA batteries (not included) into the Remote. You will need a small
screw driver.
3. Plug the Z-500 transformer barrel jack into the port labeled “Power” on the
Receiver. Using the RealTrax Wire Harness plug the color-coded wires from the
Receiver to the Lighted Lock-on.
4. Make sure that the engine and cars are properly assembled and coupled on the
track and then plug the Z-500 transformer into any 110 volt AC wall outlet. You
will know that you have power to the receiver and the track if you see the green
LED atop the Receiver and the green light atop the Lighted Lock-on will come on.
Subsequent pushes of any buttons on the remote will cause the green LED atop
the Receiver to blink, indicating it is receiving the signal.
