2. Connections for the Locomotive Controller and the Track
2.1 Connecting the Locomotive Controller to the Track
Screw the terminal clips to the track. Connect the red wire and the blue wire to the locomotive controller.
(See Figures 1-7, Pages 5-6)
Important Note:
The train controller may only be connected to the power pack included with the set. The use of
other power packs or transformers is not authorized!
2.2 Connecting the Train Controller to the Power Pack
The locomotive controller needs the switched mode power pack for power. Therefore only the switched
mode power pack (1) may be plugged with the cable (5) into the socket of locomotive controller (6) – see
illustrations on Page 5, Figure 5 on Page 5.
Caution!
You must never have two power packs and train controllers connected to the same power
circuit (track circuit) at the same time.
2.3 Connections for the Power Pack
The power pack may not be plugged into the wall outlet until the wiring for the layout is finished.
3. Technical Data
See the specifications plate on the power pack.
1. Safety Notes
Make sure you read the following safety notes before using a LGB power pack for the first time:
• The power pack may only be connected to a wall outlet with voltage that is the same as indicated on
the specifications plate on the power pack.
• The power pack is designed for use in a dry area only.
• The power pack is not a toy. It is used to supply current to a model railroad layout.
• Never hold the power pack by its power cord when transporting it.
• Check the condition of the power cord regularly and also check the housing for damage. This visual
check may be carried out only when the power pack is unplugged from the wall outlet. If you have
the slightest suspicion that there is damage, the power pack may not be used again until it has been
checked and repaired by an authorized service organization with the appropriate skills (example: LGB
Repair Department). In this situation make sure that you dispose of the power pack in the proper man
-
ner or send it to the LGB Repair Department for exchange.
• The permanently attached power cord for the power pack may not be changed in any way.
Dear Parents,
Power packs for toys are not suitable to be used as toys. The use of power packs must always be
done under the supervision of adults.
Make sure you teach your children to use the power pack only in the manner described in the instruc-
tions.
Make sure that you teach your children about the dangers of the household current system.
Make sure you inspect the condition of the power pack and its connections to the wall outlet for
damage at regular intervals (depending on how often the power pack is used to play with the train), at
least once a week. This must be done with the power pack unplugged from the wall outlet. If you have
the slightest suspicion that there is damage, the power pack may not be used again until it has been
checked and repaired by the LGB Repair Department.
