StationMaster Basic Hookup Description

The StationMaster is designed to be installed
between the train transformer, and the track.

Attach 11 & 12 to your transformer's
DC output (Sometimes labeled as
TRACK). Set your transformer’s
throttle position to the desired top speed
of the train. If the StationMaster does
not "light up", then reverse the direction on
the transformer to change the voltage polarity, or swap these
two wires.

Attach 7 & 8 to your track. This is the
controlled output voltage.

Terminals 1 & 2 are the start DECEL sensor.
When this sensor detects a magnet, the StationMaster will decelerate
your train, pause, and then accelerate in the same direction. The RED led will light up when
this sensor is detected. By placing multiple DECEL sensors wired in
parallel, you can stop at multiple stations on your railroad.
