You have purchased one of the finest train controls available. This high
powered train control is one of the best buys for a model railroader on a
budget. The 300° speed control knob gives you smooth and sensitive
control of your locomotive. Everyone at MRC would like to wish you Happy
Railroading with your Railpower 1370!
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Connect the D.C. Track terminals of your Railpower 1370 to the
track terminals, located on the right side of the Railpower 1370,
labeled on face of the unit.
2. Connect the A.C. Accessories terminals of your Railpower 1370 to
any A.C. switch machines, lights, etc., that your layout might
contain. Located on the right side of the Railpower 1370, labeled
on face of the unit.
3. Check your layout to make certain that there are no open track
sections or broken wires. Make sure your track is clean and free of
obstructions (tools, etc.) Be sure rolling stock is properly placed on
the track.
4. Turn speed control to zero and move the power switch to the OFF
position.
5. Plug the line cord into 120 Volts A.C., 60Hz house outlet and move
the power switch to the ON position. The red LED Pilot Light will
come on.
6. Turn speed control knob clockwise until desired speed is reached.
To reverse your locomotives, first stop them with the Speed
Control and then throw the Direction Switch. Failure to follow
these reversing directions may result in damage to your locomotive
and power pack.
7. If a short circuit or overload should occur, the circuit protector in
your Railpower 1370 will trip and the Pilot Light will go out. Should
this occur, turn off the unit by placing the On-Off Switch in the OFF
position, turn the Speed Control down to Stop, correct the source
of the short or overload, allow 2 minutes for the circuit protector
to cool, and turn the unit back on. If the Pilot Light still does not
come on, you have either failed to correct the source of the
overload or have not allowed sufficient time for the circuit breaker
to cool.
PARENTS PLEASE NOTE: As with any electrically operated unit, periodically
examine it and have any potentially hazardous part replaced or repaired.
