Wiring your CW-80 Transformer
C
onnect your FasTrack terminal section to the CW-80 Transformer. Use the wires that are already
attached to the terminal section. 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.
1. Feed the wires through the notch in the FasTrack terminal section.
Refer to
Figure 4 on page 9.
2. Loosen the red TRACK thumbscrew terminal, then slide the red
spade-shaped connector into position.
The thumbscrew post should be positioned
between the “blades” of the spade connector. Be sure that the blades are touching the metal post.
Tighten the thumbscrew to secure the connection.
3. Loosen the black TRACK thumbscrew terminal, then slide the black
spade-shaped connector into position.
Tighten the thumbscrew to secure the
connection. Be sure that the blades are touching the metal post. Tighten the thumbscrew to
secure the connection.
4. If you need to power an accessory (available separately at your authorized
Lionel dealer), connect the accessory to the ACCESSORY thumbscrew terminals.
Use the accessory wire included with the CW-80 Transformer.
