SC-2 wiring and operation

Four wires (not included) are needed to connect your Railroad Control Tower to the SC-2 

and a separate accessory transformer. Refer to Figure 4. We recommend using 22-gauge wire.

1.   Attach one wire to the transformer’s Common/Ground/U terminal and connect it to the 

accessory COMM (common) position on the SC-2. 

2.   Connect one of the Railroad Control Tower terminal labeled “L” to the accessory ON/OFF 

toggle position on the SC-2. 

3.  Connect the Railroad Control Tower terminal labeled “M” to the momentary position on 

the SC-2

4.   Finally, connect the Railroad Control Tower terminal labeled “G” to the transformer’s 

Power/A terminal. 

  Press and hold the AUX1 button to activate the animation. Use the AUX2 button on your 

CAB-1 Remote Controller to toggle the lamp ON and OFF.
