Connect all wires between boards as shown on page 3. Place the Engine Board in an appropriate location in the engine. Place the Main Board and Volume/Treble/Bass
board in the tender body at appropriate locations as well as the receiver board. Be careful, as always not to short anything to the boards or wires.
Regulated 5 volt lighting can be either connected to the sound boards or to a function output from the receiver as long as the receiver provides for an open collector
type output. If so, you can use the 5 volt lamps with their + lead connected to the red +5 volt regulated output from the sound card and then connect the other end of the
light bulb (or LED with appropriate limiting resistor) to the appropriate function on the decoder. The headlight, marker lights, and cab lights will operate automatically

with the sound system. Whenever motor power is detected, the cab light will turn off and the appropriate headlight and marker lights will illuminate. So, you have your
choice, either operate them with the decoder or leave them connected to the sound system for automatic operation. The flickering fire box, if desired, can be either
lamps in series or a 5 volt lamp painted red. Light bulbs will function better than LED's in this application.

Battery input power can be any battery voltage from 7.2 to 24 volts DC. This voltage must be
permitted by the battery operated receiver as well.

wire goes to the battery
connections. Failure to do so may create severe damage to the board as well as the batteries
and is not covered under warranty!
If you are using a separate power switch from the battery or if you want the sound system on at
all times battery power is present, merely connect the on/off switch wires from SW1 together.
