Plug-n-Play track pack basics
Connecting your Plug-n-Play accessory
Y
our Plug-n-Play Accessory Activator Track pack allows you to easily connect your Plug-n-Play
accessories. Each Plug-n-Play accessory has a cable attached to its base that can plug into any of
the lock-on's 3-pin female connector. This lock on provides constant power to your accessory (from
the track) and has a separate wire connected to the insulated outside rail. The insulated rail wire is
what triggers your accessory when the train passes by. Included with your track pack are two 5" pieces
with a break in each outside rail that isolate power from one break to the other.
The 10" piece of FastTrack included with your track pack uses all of the terminals in the attached
lock-on; red, black, and white connected under the track. The red wire connects to the center rail to
supply power to the accessory. The black wire connects to the outside rail to supply ground power to
the accessory.. The white wire connects to the opposite outside rail, triggering the accessory's activa-
tion when your train goes by.
To set up your track pack with your layout, follow these steps:
1. Attach any piece of FasTrack to one of the 5" track pack pieces.
2. Attach the other end of the 5" piece to the 10" straight lockon. Make sure
that the break in the outside rail is opposite of the lock-on.
3. Attach the last 5" track pack piece to the other end of the 10" track section. Make sure
that this 5" piece also has the break in the outside rail opposite of the lock-on.
4. Attach any piece of FasTrack to the other end of the 5" track piece.
When the train passes into the insulated section, your accessory will turn on. Once the train has
left the isolated section, accessory will turn off. Note that power will be supplied to your accessory
constantly.
