Battery power: When using standard, non-rechargeable, battery power you must make sure
that the jumper is removed (located to the right of the "batt" label and shown in
above) must not exceed 24 volts DC. Use a string of 6 or more AA or AAA batteries (24
volt DC maximum input). Life depends on volume settings. Typical operation is in excess of
12 hours using good AA batteries.
Rechargeable battery power: use 6, 1.2volt 700ma, rechargeable batteries (item #648).
Place the jumper onto the selector located above and highlighted in RED. This will allow the
batteries to charge whenever the track voltage is higher than the battery voltage. The
batteries will also charge when the sound system "SW1" is in the off position. Full charge
will result when power is applied for 14 hours. Item #652 is a 6 pack AA battery holder.
Connect all wires between boards as shown on page 3.
Place the Engine Board in an appropriate location in the engine. Also place the choke in the engine as shown. It is important to make all of the previous
connections from the right rail to move to the side after the choke. While the drawing shows the motor, previously installed lighting, and a smoke unit, your
engine may not contain all of them. You may also wish to change the factory installed lighting to that supplied from the sound cards. Failure to connect
other power drawing items to the other side of the choke will result in the LocoMatic™ Controller to not be able to operate the sound system properly.

damage to the board as well as the batteries

*Larger motors require a larger capacity choke.
Chokes:
Lighted car / other engines used in consist preparation. You will know if this is
necessary by placing the locomotive / lighted cars on the track and then attempting to
blow the Whistle or operate the BELL. If they do not operate with the other items on
the track then you need to do the following. We suggest doing this to all lighted cars or
engines used in the same consist since it lets the signal stay at it's maximum level.
CHOKE PACK
for additional chokes order:
Item 702 for up to 1.5 ampere load
Item 703 for up to 5.0 ampere load
