This product is designed for you to easily upgrade your analog (switchbox operated) turnouts to DCC operation.
SETUP WITH BACHMANN'S E-Z TRACK
To begin, first turn off power to your layout and DCC system to prevent any short-circuits during installation. Then, connections to
the trackside structure can be made. If using the Bachmann E-Z Track
connections can be made if desired). To connect the trackside structure to your layout with E-Z Track
pliers to remove the break-off tabs on both sides of the structure, as shown in the diagram below. After breaking off the tabs, any
excess plastic can be trimmed with a standard hobby knife.
If your turnout is currently connected to a switchbox controller on your layout, remove the plug with the green wire from the
switchbox, then, on the underside of the structure, connect the green wire's plug to the board's three-prong connection.
The new red wire (supplied) connects to the two-prong side of the structure, and the opposite end connects to any open connection
on a power terminal rerailer track that is powered by a DCC system. Make sure all plug connections are secure by firmly pressing
the plugs over the prongs. Once wired, the double-stick tape (supplied) can be used to affix the structure to your layout.

If you wish to hide the connection wires under your layout, feed the wires through a hole in your layout drilled under or near the
structure.
