3. Connecting the Transformer
Connections for the 32 VA Transformer
Connect the red third rail wire from the feeder track to the red terminal clip ("B" = track
power) on the 32 VA Transformer. Then connect the brown ground return wire from
the feeder track to the brown terminal clip ("0" = ground) on the 32 VA Transformer
– > Figure 4, page II.
Important!
The feeder wires from the layout to the transformer must never
be plugged into a household power outlet. Make sure your
children are aware of this danger!
Several feederTracks
On medium size and larger layouts power must be fed to the track at several points.
We recommend that you install a feeder track every 2 to 3 meters (approx. 6 to 9 feet).
⇒ Figure 5, page II.
Several track circuits
In order to be able to control several locomotives separately, the layout must be divi-
ded into several track circuits by installing third rail insulators (5022 for M track, 7522
for K track, 74030 for C track). Each track circuit has its own 32 VA Transformer with at
least one feeder track. Please be sure to observe at all times the safety precautions
given above when using several transformers ⇒ Figure 6 and 7, page III.
3.3 Connecting the 32 VA Transformer to Märklin 1 Layouts
With Märklin 1 track the 5654 terminal clip set is used to feed power to the track.
The 32 VA Transformer is suitable for use only in dry areas ⇒ Figure 8, page IV.
3.4 Connecting Lights or Solenoid Accessories
Model railroad lights or solenoid accessories such as turnout or signal mechanisms
are connected to the constant 16 volt AC current output on a transformer. All of the
transformers described in these instructions have a pair of terminals for this connec-
tion (yellow + brown terminal clips).
A light or solenoid accessory must never be connected to two
different transformers at the same time
If two solenoid accessories are connected to the same circuit track or
control box, then both solenoid accessories must be powered from the
same transformer.
