Wiring the accessory for operation with the 153C Contactor
Y
our Train Orders Building accessory operates best at 12 to 18 volts (AC). Power the
accessory through track power or using a separate accessory transformer. Refer to Figure 2.
To make the proper connections, the ends of the wires should be stripped back 1/8” to 1/4”.
Only an adult should perform this task. Always use care when stripping wires.
1. Attach one wire to the POWER terminal on the underside of the accessory and connect it to
the transformer’s Common/Ground/U terminal or to the #2 terminal on a Lockon. To make
the accessory connections, press down on the upper portion of the spring clip to expose a
loop, insert the end of the wire into the loop, then release pressure.
2. Attach another wire to the remaining accessory POWER terminal and connect it to the
transformer’s Power/A terminal or to the #1 terminal on a Lockon.
3. Attach another wire to the accessory SWITCH terminal and connect it to the #2 terminal on
the 153C Contactor.
4. Finally, attach another wire to the #3 terminal on the 153C Contactor and connect it to the
remaining accessory SWITCH terminal.
