Wireless Receiver Installation Considerations
For complete details on setup options and operation, please see the XF-Series Wireless
Receiver Installation Instruction booklet that comes with the receiver. For wireless
throttle operation information, please see the appropriate wireless throttle user guide.
Simplest Hookup - Direct To Command Station
This is the simplest and most basic hookup of the wireless receiver. It connects directly to the
Command Station’s TBUS modular jack with the included 7 foot modular telco cable. The
absolute maximum length of the modular cable is 14 feet. Exceeding this range can result in poor
receiver performance or simply no operation of the receiver. Do not use a “data” style modular
cable. It will not work.
Adding Receiver At Extender’s Modular Jack “Output”
This is another simple setup in which the modular telco cable plugs into the Extender’s modular
cable jack labeled OUTPUT. This is a common hookup where you already have an Extender in
use for plug-in throttles and want to add a receiver next to the Command Station.
The same modular cable limitation had to be met as with a direct hookup to the Command
Stations. The absolute maximum length of the modular cable is 14 feet. The length is the sum of
the modular cable between the Extender and the Command Station, plus the length of modular
cable between the Extender and the Receiver. Exceeding this range can result in poor receiver
performance or simply no operation of the receiver. Do not use a “data” style modular cable. It
will not work. The receiver’s power supply is the included 12VAC transformer.
