Step 9. Test the Installation

Now you are ready for the test track! We recommend your test track be fused

with a fast-blo fuse appropriately rated for your decoder (i.e. 1 amp decoder,

1 amp fuse). Place the locomotive on the track, and turn on power to the

system. Set your controller for locomotive address 3. You should be able

to run the engine in both directions as well as turn the lights on and off with

the function keys. If this is a steam engine, you should also hear the steam

airpump running in the background. Diesel models will idle softly.

If the locomotive does not travel in the appropriate direction, you have

reversed the polarity of the motor brush connection. Turn the power off,

switch the ORANGE and GRAY motor leads and try again. If everything

seems OK at this point, it is time to program the decoder’s Configuration

Variables to get the desired sound and lighting effects. If the decoder does

not respond as expected, first re-check your wiring. If no solution is found,

proceed to the Troubleshooting section of the

User’s Guide.
