2. Safety Information for the Operation
of Märklin Transformers
As already discussed above, examine the transformer and its power cord
and other connections at regular intervals (at least once a week depen-
ding on the how often the trains are being operation) for damages. Be
sure the transformer is unplugged from the power outlet before exami-
ning it. If you have the least suspicion that the transformer is damaged,
then have the Märklin Service Department make repairs to it before
using it again.
Make children aware that changes in the wiring must never be done
without adult supervision. Transformers must always be connected to or
disconnected from the household current by plugging or unplugging the
power cord for the distribution strip!
The following safety precautions must always be observed when connecting
mor
e than one transformer to a model railroad layout or setup:
● The power cords for all existing transformers connected to the layout must first
be unplugged when connecting electrical power consumers (examples: feeder
connections, turnouts, signals, lights, etc.) to a transformer!
● The alternating current outputs of two or more transformers must never be
connected with one another (⇒ Figure 1, 2 and 3, page I + II).
