This manual contains detailed hookup and programming instructions for the
YardMaster-5 Model Train Controller.
Please download additional hookup diagrams from http://www.RRConcepts.com
Before we Start
- Please do not attach Power wires (from your power pack)
to any other terminals except the designated power inputs 3, 4, 5 and 6.
o
The YardMaster contains a micro-controller and will be damaged if power is put on any of the sensor terminals.
o
Since the YardMaster contains flash memory it will return to the previous state when powered up.
The turnouts will be thrown and the on-board relays will return to their previous states.
o
Detachable screw-down terminal blocks allow quick-disconnect for long term storage keeping all wires in place.
ONLY ATTACH WIRES WHILE THE POWER IS OFF
