4. Short Circuit or Overload
Overload protection
A built-in thermal switch protects the Transformer from
damage in case of an overload or a short circuit. Loco-
motives on the layout will come to a stop, accessories
cannot be operated and all lamps connected to the
Transformer will go out.
The following procedure is recommended:
1. Unplug the power cords for all transformers from their
outlets.
2. Look for the cause of the short circuit on the layout
and correct it.
3. After about 1 minute the thermal switch will go back
to being on. After this amount of time has passed, all
Transformers can be placed in operation again.
If the Transformer should shut off again and you are
unable to locate a short circuit, then the Transformer is
overloaded. In this case the number of users connected
to the Transformer must be reduced.

5. Connections for the Controler
The controler requires the transformer included with the
set as a power source.
Important Information:
The controller is to be connected only to the transformer.
No other transformer may be used with this controller!
5.1 Connecting the Controler to the
Transformer.
The controller requires the transformer only as a source
of power. Therefore, only the black connecting plug (2)
must be plugged into the socket (3) on the controller
- see Figure
.
5.2 Connecting a Model Railroad Layout to the Controler
The red and the brown connecting wires on the control-
ler can only be connected to Märklin C Track. C Track is
also included in this starter set.
Connect the red wire (4) with the spade connector from
the Controler to the contact finger on the underside of
the track, which is connected to the center conductor.
Connect the brown wire (5) with the spade connector
from the Controler to the contact finger on the underside
of the track,
