In addition to the above items, you will need about 3 feet of test track, a bit of hookup wire and a
locomotive equipped with a DCC compatible decoder.
Temporary System Hookup To Test Track
We strongly suggest that you first hookup the system to a separate section of test track. Once you
have used the system and checked it out thoroughly, you can begin permanent installation
knowing that everything is working properly. Each part of the Extended Starter System will be
described along with any special notes. Additional system features, not necessary for a
temporary hookup are described in later sections. The hookup diagram on the next page shows all
of the components of the extended system and how they connect together.
AC Wall Transformer For Command Station
When connecting the plug from the small wall
transformer to the Command Station’s AC jack, be
sure to push it in as far as it will go. The plug’s black
plastic strain-relief will be flush to the jack when
properly inserted.
The small jack is fragile and can be easily damaged.
Always pull the plug straight out.
Caution: The standard CVP 12VAC transformer is
rated for 110VAC input only.
Modular Cable Between Command Station and ZoneMaster Booster
The modular cable connects between the Command
Station’S “Boosters” jack and the ZoneMaster
booster jack labeled DCC DATA BUS. You may use
either one of the two data bus jacks. Don’t use the
OPTO input jack.
Do not accidentally plug the cable into the wrong
Command Station socket.
When plugging the cable into the socket, do not
force it. The plug will insert easily and lock with an
audible click. To release the plug, push down on the
plug’s little plastic tab and gently pull the cable out
of the socket.
The Extended Starter System content list and Extended Starter System Quick Start will not
include any extra items you may have purchased or upgraded as part of your original purchase.
Regardless, the basic hookup and use remains the same. Refer to the instructions that come with
the extra items.
