Powering the accessory
T
his accessory operates best at 12-18 volts (AC). You may choose to supply power with a
separate accessory power supply or through a Lionel Lockon (available separately, 6-62900),
or a FasTrack Power Wire (available separately, 6-12053).
As illustrated in Figure 1, attach a wire to each of the spring clip terminals on the accessory
and connect them to the accessory terminals on the power supply or to the spring clip terminals
on the Lockon. FasTrack users, slide the quick connections over the electrical tabs on the
bottom of the track, then attach the bare ends of the wire to the terminals on the underside of
the accessory.
To make the spring clip terminal connections, press down on the top portion of the spring
clip so that a metal loop is exposed. Slide the bare end of the wire into the loop, then release
pressure on the spring clip.
At this point, you may choose to secure the accessory to your layout by inserting a screw
through each of the three tabs. To integrate this accessory into the landscaping on your layout,
you may also snap off the three tabs. Carefully bend the tabs downward until they break off.
