TrainMaster Command Control operations
I
n addition to your transformer, to operate your non-powered locomotive in the Command
Control environment, you need a Command Base (available separately, 6-12911) and a
CAB-1 Remote Controller (available separately, 6-12868).
Your commands are sent by the CAB-1 Remote Controller to the Command Base, which
then translates the command into digital code. That code is sent through the outside rails
to your locomotive, which will not respond until it recognizes its unique ID#. TrainMaster
Command Control gives you the power to operate multiple Command-equipped locomotives
on the same track at the same time.
Operating your non-powered locomotive in the Command Control
environment
Couple your non-powered locomotive to a powered locomotive for operation in the
TrainMaster Command Control environment.
1. Turn off track power and plug-in the Command Base.
Be sure that the
Command Base is connected to the outside rail or to the Common/Ground/U terminal on
your track power supply.
2. Place your non-powered locomotive on Lionel or Lionel-compatible O-31
or larger track.
3. Increase track voltage to full power (no more than 19 volts AC).
On
PowerMasters, slide the CMD/CONV switch to CMD. Program Track Power Controllers to
Command Control operation.
Power your non-powered locomotive with an alternating-current (AC)
transformer only. Powering your locomotive with a direct-current (DC)
transformer, or in excess of 19 volts AC, may result in damage to sensitive
electronic components.
4. Press ENG and enter the ID# to address your locomotive with your CAB-1
Remote Controller.
All Lionel locomotives come factory-programmed as ID# 1. To
change the ID#, see page 8.
5. Throttle up and move ‘em out!
Your locomotive will respond to every command from
your CAB-1 Remote Controller.
