1. Safety Notes
Make sure you read the following safety notes before using
a Märklin power pack for the first time:
•
Not suitable for children under 15 years.
• The power pack may only be connected to a wall outlet
with voltage that is the same as indicated on the specifi-
cations plate on the power pack.
• The power pack is designed for use in a dry area only.
Do not use in a bathroom. Do not install or use within 10
feet of a pool.
• The power pack is not a toy. It is used to supply current to
a model railroad layout.
• Never hold the switched mode power pack by its power
cord or by its connecting cable when transporting it.
•
The cable from the power pack to the layout may not be
changed, replaced, or lengthened.
For U.S. only: The detachable power cable must be at
least of type SP-2, SPE-2, SPT-2, SV, SVE, SVT and must
be longer than 3 feet, but must not be longer than 10
feet. It must be fitted with NEMA 1-15 or 1-15P plug and
appliance coupler C7. Do not use an extension cord.
• 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:
Märklin Repair Department). In this situation make sure
that you dispose of the power pack in the proper manner
or send it to the Märklin Repair Department for exchange.
