Title: Wiring diagram - 44213 controller to track
Post by: eric5121 on December 18, 2014, 02:08:42 AM
I have lost the red cable that goes to the track, and of course we lost the track connector as wewll. To make it work for Christmas I plan to build a cable and some alligator clips on the track. But I need a diagram or a simple explanation. Don't want to get the wires crossed!!

Radioshack should have what appears to be a 1/8" plug.

One wire from the power supply (+) post to one rail and the second wire from the (-) post to the other rail.  Make sure it is DC goint to the track.

I figured it was that simple.

Dear Eric:

3.5mm (1/8") stereo (TRS) plug:

Tip (NOT USED large scale) = HO/N/On30 AC out (to power E-Z Command)

Ring = Track Variable DC out

Shank = Common (AC return and Variable DC return)

In other words, wire the ring to one rail, and the shank to the other rail.

Hope this helps.

Sincerely,

Joe Satnik
