Several feeder Tracks
On medium size and larger layouts power must be fed to the
track at several points.
Several track circuits
In order to be able to control several locomotives separa-
tely, the layout must be divided into several track circuits
by installing third rail insulators (7522 for K track, 74030 for
C track). Each track circuit has its own 32 VA Transformer
with at least one feeder track. Please be sure to observe
at all times the safety precautions given above when using
several transformers  Figure 3 and 4, page 31/32.
Connecting the 32 VA Transformer to Märklin 1 Layouts
The 32 VA Transformer is suitable for use only in dry areas.
With Märklin 1 track the 5654 terminal clip set is used to
feed power to the track.  Figure 2, page 30.
One 74044 interference suppression set should be used with
each transformer used to operate trains.
Connecting Lights or Solenoid Accessories
Model railroad lights or solenoid accessories such as turn-
out or signal mechanisms are connected to the constant 16
volt AC current output on a transformer. All of the transfor-
mers described in these instructions have a pair of terminals
for this connection (yellow + brown terminal clips).
Model railroad lights in buildings and/or street lights are
connected directly to the yellow "L" terminal clip and brown
"0" terminal clip on the 32 VA Transformer.
The diagram for connections for model railroad lights can be
found in Figure 5, page 33. The diagrams for connections for
a turnout mechanism or a signal mechanism can be found in
Figures 6 and 7, page 34/35.
Important: The model railroad lights or solenoid accessories
connected to the transformer must be rated for 16 volts AC
A light or solenoid accessory must never be connected to
two different transformers at the same time.
If two solenoid accessories are connected to
the same circuit track or control box, then both
!
solenoid accessories must be powered from the
same transformer.
3. Operations with the Transformer
Model railroad with one transformer: Plug the power cord
into a wall outlet.
Model railroad with several transformers: Plug the power
cords for the transformers into a power strip and plug the
power cord for the latter into a wall outlet. If you have a
power strip with an on/off switch, turn this on after having
carried out the steps above.
Operating Trains with the 32 VA Transformer
The locomotive's speed is changed by turning the speed
control knob on the 32 VA Transformer.
Turn to the right – the locomotive runs faster
Turn to the left – the locomotive runs slower
Turn to the left to the "0" setting – the locomotive stops.
Changing direction
The locomotive's direction is reversed by turning the speed
control knob to the left past the "0" setting.
