Setting the accessory output

T ake control of your Lionel empire with your CW-80 Transformer! You choose how much
power your accessories need. Your CW-80 Transformer features a programmable accessory
output. The ability to control the voltage allows you to set the speed of your accessory motors
and the intensity of your lights. Follow these steps to set the voltage.
Note!
The accessory voltage was set to 12 volts at the factory.
1. Connect your accessory to the CW-80 Transformer as discussed on page 6.
2. Bring the throttle all the way back to turn off the power.
3. Press and hold down the DIRECTION, WHISTLE/HORN, and BELL buttons
on the Controller. Refer to Figure 4 on page 9 for the location of these
buttons.
The green light on the Transformer will flash, and track power will turn off.
4. With all three buttons held down, raise the throttle slowly until you reach
your desired accessory voltage.
5. Release the buttons once you have reached your desired voltage.
The accessory turns off, and the solid green light indicates that you have set the accessory
voltage.
6. Bring the throttle all the way back to turn off the power.
The voltage will momentarily increase, briefly causing the lights to shine brighter or the
motors to operate faster, before returning to the set level. At this point, increasing the throt-
tle again will control track power.
