TROUBLESHOOTING AND OPERATING TIPS
If your train doesn’t respond to commands, make sure:
all wiring is correctly installed as shown in figure 2 (see page 2)
the transformer is plugged into the wall socket and the master “On/Off” switch is in the “On” position
red LED power indicator is lit and NOT blinking (i.e. not in "Function" or "Programming" mode)
the correct address button for the train you wish to operate is active (check address LEDs)
the “Stop” button is not pressed

the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

Never connect another controller to a track section controlled by an
E-Z Command
unit. Separate “power districts”
can be created using separate units, but they must be double-isolated so that no train can bridge the joints between
sections.
Never use an electronic track cleaner near your
E-Z Command
system.
Only plug a Bachmann
E-Z Command
device, or other device specifically approved by Bachmann, into the I/O port
shown in figure 20. Other devices may have the same connector but are not necessarily compatible.
DCC-equipped locomotives will run on a DC-controlled layout, but don’t use a feedback-type DC controller. Check
your DC controller manufacturer’s instructions to determine what type of DC controller you’re operating.
When using a Bachmann 44212 DC controller with the
E-Z Command
Control Center, the power is always connected
through the DC controller as shown in figure 18 (see page 6).
