to accept the receiver. To facilitate custom installations, a Adaptor Plug is provided.
The Adaptor Plug has a 12 position socket. Wire the Adaptor Plug to your locomotive
with the connections as shown below.
1) POWERING THE Revolution TE. The Revolution TE is designed to work
from either track power or on board battery power of at least 12 volts DC to a
maximum of 24 volts DC. The receiver is self-protected for polarity and input
current. However, if you use a battery, you should install a 3-amp fuse directly
from the battery before any other wiring is connected. The fuse will protect your
wiring and the battery from damage in case of an accidental short circuit.
2) ISOLATE THE MOTOR(S). The motor(s) MUST be isolated from ALL other
wiring before the Revolution TE can be installed in a locomotive. This is critically
important. Failure to isolate the motors will cause the receiver to malfunction or
possibly fail. After you have located and disconnected the motor wires from the
locomotive, use an ohmmeter to check the resistance between the motor wires and
any other wires that you can find in the locomotive. If any connection is indicated
at all, locate the connection and isolate the motor wires.
3) ADAPTOR PLUG CONNECTIONS. All wiring connections should be soldered
and insulated with heat shrink tubing or electrical tape.
