To turn the bridge, move the R046 switch lever to the left (it is
shown to the right in Fig.5). Operate the train controller knob in
either direction at a convenient speed. As the bridge aligns with
each outlet there will be a "dwell" time allowing the controller to
be switched to "off" when the required outlet is reached. Change
the R046 switch back to drive the locomotive off the turntable.
ii. To run a locomotive to any outlet track
Switch point A for the turntable, run the locomotive onto the
bridge – Stop.
Change the R046 switch and operate the train controller until
the bridge is lined up with the required outlet track.
Change the R046 switch again and drive the locomotive into
the outlet.
The only outlet that is electrically live is the one with which
the bridge is aligned and that will only be live when the power
connected to the inlet track is on. Locomotives can be stored
on the outlet tracks but track B
(Fig.5)
will always be live when
a locomotive is run between the bridge and the inlet track and
should not be used for storing locomotives.
The turntable may also be operated from the DC auxiliary output of
other Hornby power units by using an R047 switch.
SAFETY NOTICES
• Direct adult supervision is required for children under 14 years.
• This product is not suitable for children under three years of age
because of small parts which can present a choking hazard. Some
components have functional sharp points and edges – handle with care.
• This product is intended for indoor use only.
• The transformer is not a toy. It is a “Transformer for Toys”. Before
use, check that the transformer is the correct voltage for your mains
electricity supply. This product is only to be used with the
recommended transformer. The transformer should be examined
regularly for damage to the casing, plug pins and cables. In the event
of such damage, the set should not be used until the
transformer is replaced with a new Hornby recommended
unit. Never attempt to open the transformer yourself.
• This product must not be connected to more than the
recommended number of power supplies. The output terminals of
the transformer must not be connected directly, or indirectly, to the
output of any other AC circuit derived from a transformer or mains
power supply.
• Before cleaning any part, disconnect the transformer from the mains
electricity supply. Do not use liquid for cleaning.
• Please retain these details and the address for future reference.
5. Assembly into Layout
The inlet track of the Turntable must be connected to a spur off the
main layout and it is essential that this spur has power available for the
movement of locomotives. The layout plan in Fig.5 shows a small layout
where power is fed to the turntable spur through point A.
6.
Wiring
The turntable motor is arranged to work from the same 12 volt DC
Train Controller that is being used to drive a locomotive. Fig.5 shows the
wiring arrangement whereby an R046 switch is used to divert the power
from the track to the turntable motor. The extra power connecting
clip X supplied with the turntable must be fitted to a section of track
adjacent to that where the track feed clip Y is located.
Plastic twin connecting sleeves are fitted to the wires to provide an
optional facility to tidy the connections at track connection Y and
R046 switch.
7. Locomotive Operation
i. To turn a locomotive
Switch point A
(Fig.5)
for the turntable spur, run the locomotive
from the main line onto the spur and continue slowly onto the
centre of the turntable bridge – Stop.
