Operation on touch panel
▶ Do not set up smartRail near radiators
or in places with direct sunlight!
▶ Do not set up smartRail in an envi-
ronment with major fl uctuations of
temperature and air humidity!
During operation, do not reach into the
infrared signals of the sensors! If the sensors
do not continuously measure the distance
of the locomotive, automatic length control
will trigger an Emergency Stop. Ensure that
the lenses are not touched or scratched.
smartRail automatically recognises whether
the locomotive runs on AC or DC when
reading out the locomotive address.

1.1 How to connect smartRail

1. Plug the supplied switching power supply (20V DC/52VA) into the bottom part of the smartRail.
2. Place smartRail on your desk, on a shelf or in a showcase, so that it is easily accessible.
3. Plug the switching power supply into the power socket. Ensure that you do not touch the touch
