Sample installation - Short GG-1
Place 1/16" tape on board to prevent motor / chassis from
shorting to board.
Make spacers, with slot guides to hold board, to raise
board brom bottom to clear wires.
Position board on angle to clear shell / chassis and
motors when swung to full extent (motors move to
negotiate tight curves).
Use a non-conductive glue to hold board on spacers.
"Quick Grag" works well for this. Make rear support
bracket to keep board from tipping.
Install lamps in parrallel for illumination of the markers.
Then cover the lamps with foil tape to prevent light from
seeping through.
Install speaker in enclosed tube flush to the inside ceiling.
Coil couplers could also be added but would need addition
modifications to the coupler pockets for installation and item #501.
An easy location for the sw/vol board is
near the previous lockout switch
location.
If opening the chassis for the sw/vol, do
this first before mounting the main
board.
Mill open or drill multiple holes and file
smooth to gain access to the
switches and volume control. If only
the volume control is of importance,
locate suitably about an existing hole.
Be sure that none of the tracks on
the board or switch mounts touch the
chassis. This would permanently
damage the microcontroller and is
not covered under warranty.
Place 1/16" double sided tape on front
side of board and secure in place.
An added touch would be the addition of two interior cab lamps.
These can be accessed from the LocoMatic controller as
Aux1/Aux2. Use Aux1 as the forward cab and Aux2 as the rear
cab. This way you can independently illuminate the proper
operating cab when at idle.
