There a few more notes:
1. On the receiver there is a red and green LED. These LED’s are
like lights on your train and indicate the receiver base unit is
providing power out. When the
DIR arrow
on the transmitter
display points to the right and the receiver is providing power,
the green LED is illuminated. If DIR points to the left, the red
LED is illuminated.
2. There are two conditions that can cause the base unit to shut
down and send error messages to the transmitter. The errors will
be displayed in the area where “
LinkOK
” is displayed.
a.
OvLoad
– This can occur from a short duration short
circuit on the track, like a derailment or a short when
crossing some switch frogs.
b.
OvHeat
– Occurs when the base unit exceeds 175 degrees
F. This should not occur with the fan units we have added
to our setup.
c. To recover from these errors, clear the short and make
sure everything is back on the track and/or let the base
unit cool for 5 minutes. When the error condition has been
corrected, press the zero (0 / all stop) button on the
transmitter to clear the error.
For more details, see the Revolution manual in the black Power Box or
talk to Martschinke or Tennyson.
