Remote Switch Device Connections
BEFORE ANY INSTALLATION; MAKE SURE THERE IS NO POWER TO THE TRACK OR
TO THE REMOTE SWITCH DEVICE. The Remote Switch Device is designed to work on
track power or battery power of at least 6volts DC to a maximum of 24 volts DC. This unit is
self-protected for polarity and input current. Aristo Craft carries a battery box to work with the
Remote Switch Device, CRE 55612 if you do not have track power available.
This Remote Switch Device will handle from one to five switches or accessories each.

Switches
In the front of the Remote Switch Device there are six terminals five for switch hookups “SW
-1 / SW –5” and one for power input “POWER –IN”. The Remote Switch Device will work with
the fowling switches:
1. Art 11298 Switch Machine Slow Motion New
2. Art 11299 Switch Machine Old
3. LGB switches [TM of Marklin]
4. Most Other G Gauge Switch Machines
Switch Hookups
The Art 11298 Switch Machine Slow Motion comes with wires to connect to the switch
machine and to the Remote Switch Device. Do not disconnect the toggle switch from the
wires; this will cause the switch not to work properly even when using with a Remote Device.
The red wire is hooked up to terminal A, the black wire is hooked up to terminal B and the
green wire is hooked up to the common terminal on the slow motion switch machine. Cut the
Plug on the black wires and connect it to the desired terminals marked “SW -1 / SW –5” on
the Remote Switch Device.
Note: The slow motion switch machine works on the SLOW setting only. See Fig 2
The Art 11299 switch machine and LGB Switches [TM of Marklin] use two wires to hook up on
the switch machine and Remote Switch Device.
Note: These switch machines work on the FAST setting only. See Fig 3

Power Supply
The Remote Switch Device can be connected directly to a power supply 6 volts to 24 volts or
anywhere from your track layout. This unit can also use battery power 6 volts to 24 volts.
Aristo Craft carries a battery box to work with the Remote Switch Device, CRE 55612 if you
do not have track power available.
In the front of the Remote Switch Device there are six terminals five for switch hookups “SW
-1 / SW –5” and one for power input “POWER –IN”. Take the two wires from the power supply
and connect it to the terminal on the Remote Switch Device marked “POWER –IN” Power
Input.
DO NOT HOOK THE POWER WIRES ON THE FIVE TERMINALS MARKED “SW -1 / SW –
5” SWITCH. THIS WILL BURN THE MAIN BOARD OR CAUSE A SHORT .
Note: This unit is built with polarity protection
