Your StationMaster will be damaged if power is put on any of the sensor terminals!!
Remember that your StationMaster contains a micro controller and can be reset by cycling
the power. To do this, turn your transformer off for a few seconds, and then turn it back on.

Summary of Contents for RR-Concepts StationMaster

  • Page 1 Please do not attach XFMR wires (from your power pack) to any other terminals except the designated transformer inputs. (XFMR) Your StationMaster will be damaged if power is put on any of the sensor terminals!! Remember that your StationMaster contains a micro controller and can be reset by cycling the power.
  • Page 2 DECEL Sensor Terminals 1 & 2 are the start DECEL sensor. When this sensor detects a magnet, the StationMaster will decelerate your train, pause, and then accelerate in the same direction. The RED led will light up when this sensor is detected. By placing multiple DECEL sensors wired in...
  • Page 3: Reverse Sensor

    REVERSE Sensor Terminals 3 & 4 are the REVERSE sensor. When this sensor detects a magnet, the StationMaster will decelerate your train, pause, reverse direction, and then accelerate. The RED led will light up when this sensor is detected. By placing two DECEL sensors at extreme ends wired in parallel, the train will do a simple back and forth operation.

    Station Master +Reverser RR-Concepts.com DECEL TRACK REVERSE SPEED STOP XFMR Optional STOP Sensor Terminals 5 and 6 are the optional STOP sensor. When the train is decelerating and this sensor detects a magnet, the train will immediately STOP. This sensor is not necessary unless a critical stop position is required.
  • Page 6 If you have a fixed DC power supply, then use this dial to set the top speed of your trains. To program your StationMaster, turn this dial fully counter-clockwise to enter “programming mode”. (See below)
  • Page 7 (See RR-Concepts.com for detailed info.) When finished with all programming, increase the top speed dial clockwise to MAX, or to a desired top speed. All programming values are stored in flash memory. This means that once you program your StationMaster, it will never forget!
  • Page 8 (about 10 counts). When finished with all programming, increase the top speed dial clockwise to MAX, or to a desired top speed. All programming values are stored in flash memory. This means that once you program your StationMaster, it will never forget!
  • Page 9 All programming values are stored in flash memory. This means that once you program your StationMaster, it will never forget! The number of orange FLASHES will correspond to the following time delays: 1: 0 seconds, no wait.

    If there is a 20% voltage drop, then a short circuit is assumed and the StationMaster will cut power. Once a short is detected, the StationMaster will re-check every 5 seconds to see if the problem is corrected and then resume operations once correct.
  • Page 11 Offset the train’s magnet to the same side. For example, passenger trains have the magnet on the right and stop at the passenger station. Freight trains have their magnet on the left and stop at the freight station. Enjoy your StationMaster!
