*Scale/Gauge Switch: On the bottom of the cabinet is a small micro-switch.
Turn OFF the Throttlepack 9900 before toggling this switch. Slide this switch into
the position to match the output of the train controller for your layouts scale or
gauge, (HO/N or O/G). Sliding the switch towards the front of the cabinet will put
the Thr
ottlepack 9900 into the O/G mode. Placing the switch into the opposite
direction sets the Throttlepack 9900 to the HO/N scales.
The momentum button allows you to toggle the momentum
on/off. With the momentum OFF a change in the throttle setting results in an
immediate change in the locomotive speed. With the momentum ON
locomotive starts out more slowly like a real locomotive
. The LED will light when
momentum is on. This feature can substantially add to your model railroading
enjoyment. When a real locomotive is given an increase in throttle setting there is
a lag until the pre
-set speed is reached. The heavier the load of the cars being
drawn, the longer the lag time.
The brake button on your Throttlepack 9900
is a momentary push
button. Hold down the brake button to operate the brake function. Your
locomotive will slow at a steady rate. To have a more gradual de
you need to activate the Momentum by pressing the Momentum button and then
use the Brake button. After releasing the Brake button your locomotive speed will
return according to the setting on the Throttle Control.

by an Up Arrow and reverse direction is indicated by a Down Arrow. The LED will
display the direction you have selected.
Note: Your Throttlepack 9900 will

The throttle control is used to set the speed of the locomotive.

Accessories DC Terminals:
These terminals supply DC voltage for use with
accessories. Be careful to observe polarity when hooking up accessories (of the
two terminals for accessories, the left is negative

Handheld Plug: Located in the front of the cabinet is a plug for the optional
tethered handheld with memory. The Handheld throttle offers speed control,
brake, and direction control. (MRC Part No. 0001325)
Your Throttlepack 9900 comes with a built-in universal power supply
which can be safely used in countries with 120 VAC/60 Hz or 220 VAC/50
Hz input. In order to operate your Throttlepack 9900 outside the USA, you
will need to replace the wall cord with one suitable for the matching
outlet. For your safety, plug the wall cord firmly into the rear of the
cabinet before plugging into a wall outlet.
Power Pack Setup: Make sure that the green four-terminal right-angle plug is
firmly inserted into the rear receptacle of the cabinet. Take two wires from the
Main Track layout (18 AWG or heavier) and strip the ends 1/8 inch. Insert these
wires into terminals marked “TRACK”. Strip the ends of wires from any of your
accessories and insert them into terminals marked “ACC”. Using a small flat-
blade screwdriver, tighten the screws to secure the wires.
Note: When connecting to any terminal, care must be taken that wires do not
touch more than one terminal at a time. Loose wires are a danger to your
Throttlepack 9900 and layout. Be certain wires are properly inserted into the
terminals before tightening screws. Also note that the output terminal screws
can get hot during periods of peak use. Tin your wires before inserting into the terminals.
FOR YOUR PROTECTION
1. Never reverse a locomotive without stopping it first. Doing so may cause
damage to the locomotive mechanism.
2. Turn OFF the power switch at the end of the day’s operation and remove
the wall cord from the socket.
3. When a short circuit or current overload occurs, the circuit protection
device will trip. Place the Thottlepack 9900’s on-off Power Switch into the
OFF position, place the throttle in the STOP position, and correct the
short or overload.
4. Avoid prolonged overloads and short circuits. Your Throttlepack 9900 is
equipped with safety devices to prevent accidental damage due to these
conditions, but it is unwise to subject the Throttlepack 9900 to these
frequently or for extended periods of time.
5. Children under the age of 14 must be supervised by an adult when
operating this product.
6. For best performances, keep wheel and track surfaces clean. Dirty track
and wheels can cause erratic operation.
