Before you start working with the Train Engineer Revolution there are a few concepts that
you need to understand.
2.4 TRAIN ENGINEER INSTRUCTION MANUAL NS Page 9 of 39
Operation Overview
The transmitter and receivers in your locomotives are designed to communicate and exchange
information about the way you want your trains to operate. In order to establish a link
between them you need to set up options in the transmitter. These include settings like the
locomotive’s name and road number, the top speed that you want it to achieve, the rate at
which you want it to accelerate and how long you want it to delay when the direction is
changed. Once these parameters are set the link between the units is finalized by a process
called “linking”. Once the transmitter and a locomotive’s receiver are bound together they are
set to communicate and run your train.
The second concept has to do with the Cab number that is associated with each locomotive.
The Cab numbers range from CAB-0 through CAB-49. Once you link a locomotive you must
select the Cab number that it will run under. This allows you to easily move between as many
as 50 locomotives while operating. The Cab number is also used to identify groups of
locomotives that you might want to run in a consist ‘MU’. Locomotives can be operated
independently or grouped for multiple unit operation. CAB-0, CAB-1 and CAB-2 might be
used to operate three different locomotives while CAB-3 can be used to operate those same
three locomotives in a consist ‘MU’. Changing between single unit (SU) operation and
multiple unit (MU) operation is as simple as selecting a Cab number.
Once you have an opportunity to experience the process used to operate trains with the TE
Revolution I think you will find that Aristo Craft has found an elegant solution to what can be
a complex problem
Functions for System Components
4. CODE SET SWITCH
a. Mount the code set switch so you can get access to program your locomotive.
b. Press the code set switch and hold down to link the transmitter and receiver.

6. SMOKE CONTROL BOARD
a. The smoke control board controls one or two smoke units.
b. To install the smoke control board remove the cables from the smoke units on the
locomotive.
c. Plug the cable that you remove into the small socket on the smoke control board.
d. Plug the two cables from the smoke control board into the smoke units.
e. Connect black wire on the smoke to the black common wire on the auxiliary wire‘ ’
harness.
f. Connect the white wire to any of the six aux functions.
g. Make sure the smoke switch on the locomotive is in the ON position.
h. The smoke unit must be in the LATCH position on the aux function.
7. WIRE HARNESS
a. Use the wire harness to hook up locomotive with out the new plug and play board.

8. RECEIVER INSTALLATION
STEP A. BEFORE ANY INSTALLATION; MAKE SURE THERE IS NO POWER ON
THE TRACK OR TO THE LOCOMOTIVE. The On Board receiver is designed to work
on track power or battery power of at least 12volts DC to a maximum of 24 volts DC. The unit
is self protected for polarity and input current. MAKE SURE THE YOU PLUG IN THE
RECEIVER CORRECTLY INTO THE MAIN PC BOARD ON THE ENGINE.
a. Remove the locomotive shell and jumper pin on the main PC.
b. Make sure the 12-10 pin connector on the receiver is facing the 12-10 pin socket on the
engine main PC board.
c. Plug in the On Board Receiver on the engine PC board.
d. Attach the Code set switch to the three-pin header on the receiver.
9. TRANSMITTER INSTALLATION
STEP B:
a. Remove the battery cover from the rear of the Transmitter
b. Insert three AA Alkaline, NiMH or Ni-cad batteries.“ ”
c. Replace the back cover on the transmitter.
10.CHARGING TRANSMITTER BATTERIES
a. Use three AA rechargeable batteries for the transmitter, N-CD or Nmh.‘ ’
b. At the bottom of the Transmitter there is an adapter jack to charge the batteries.
c. Batteries can be charge when the transmitter is turn, ON or OFF.
d. Plug the charger jack in the transmitter to charge the batteries.
e. When charging the battery the battery icon will move indicating it s charging. ’
f. When the batteries are fully charge, the battery icon will stop moving.
g. Charge the batteries overnight
A. Power ON/OFF pressed the ON/OFF key to turn on the Transmitter. Press and hold the‘ ’
ON/OFF key for 2 seconds to turn off the Transmitter
B. <<T / T>> -Used to select the active locomotive. Press the <<T key to scroll left and the T>>
to scroll to the right. The locomotive names and road numbers will be displayed on the main
operation screen. When the locomotive is set up under SU or MU it will also show up.
C. STOP/ENTER when operating a locomotive the STOP/ENTER button stops the active–
locomotive and sets its speed to zero. When accessing the menu STOP/ENTER is use to
conform a selection.
D. ARROW – When operating a locomotive the up and down arrows () increase or decrease
speed and the left and right arrows () select direction. When accessing menu items the up
and down arrows scroll between items and the left and right arrows change that item s value.’
E. MENU Select the unit s setup menus. When accessing menus pressing MENU will move you– ’
back one level like and escape or back key.
