Connecting your LEGACY PowerMaster to the track

or best performance on large layouts, it is recommended that you use 16-gauge wire to

connect your PowerMaster to the track. Use the stripped ends of the wires, or spade-shaped

connectors on PowerMaster connections, with no more than two wires on each terminal.

Use terminal strips (available at your local electronics supply store) to allow you to connect

multiple wires to evenly distribute power to your layout.

Make sure that all connections are secure. Loose connections can produce extremely high

temperatures. For this reason, do not touch the terminals or track connections during use.

Also, do not locate scenery materials such as lichen or ground foam near the terminals.

To prevent the excessive build up of heat, be sure to select the proper wire gauge

for your layout. Track connections (or Lockon connections) must be made with

18-gauge wire or heavier. Larger layouts require a minimum of 16-gauge wire.

Caution!

LOCKON

Figure 2. Lockon attachment

1. Attach the Lockon to the track.

As illustrated in Figure 2, slide the bottom edge of the outside rail into the metal lip on the

Lockon. Press the clip at the end of the Lockon over the bottom edge of the inside rail.

2. Attach one wire to the Lockon spring clip terminal labeled “1” and connect

it to the power terminal labeled “A” on the PowerMaster. All Controller

connections are illustrated in Figure 3 on page 6.

To attach the wire to the Lockon, press down on the top of the terminal clip so that the

metal loop is exposed. Slide the bare end of the wire into the exposed loop. Release pressure

on the terminal clip, allowing the metal clip to pinch the end of the wire in the metal loop.

Give a little tug on the wire to check if the hold is secure.

3. Attach a second wire to the Lockon spring clip terminal labeled “2” and

connect it to the transformer terminal labeled “U” on the PowerMaster.
