THIS COMPLETES BASIC INSTALLATION OF THE RECEIVER. After the
Transmitter set-up is complete, you will have full remote control of your locomotive
speed, direction and lights. If you wish to add advanced options such as remote
operation of smoke and sound please refer to the advanced section later in this

POWERING YOUR LOCOMOTIVES
TRACK POWER. The Revolution TE receiver will work on voltages ranging from
12 to 24 volts DC. When running from track power, connect DC power directly to
the track and set your controller power to the highest setting, but not more than 24
volts. You can also connect a DC power supply of up to 24 volts, without any speed
controller, directly to the track. Set the track/battery switch on your locomotive to
‘Track’.
BATTERY POWER. The Revolution TE receiver can also be powered from Li-Ion
(Lithium Ion), Ni-MH (Nickel Metal Hydride), Ni-Cd (Nickel Cadmium) or Gel Cell
batteries. The maximum voltage must not exceed 24 volts. Multiple batteries can
be wired in series or parallel to increase voltage or run time. When operating from
batteries, set the track/battery switch on your locomotive to ‘Battery’. The following
batteries and cables are available from Aristo-Craft dealers.
