TRAIN CONTROLLER ETS
Operating Instructions
The Train Controller ETS (controller) is designed to adjust input power from
an external power supply (24V DC) to a voltage suitable for the ETS TinPlate
railway. The controller enables smooth starting of the locomotive, change of
direction, and control of the locomotive's whistle when the model is stopped.
The back of the controller
cover has an input voltage
connector (1) and a screw-tight
output connector terminal (2) for
connecting the cable to the tracks.
On the main upper face here is a
circular direction and speed
control knob (3), direction LED
diodes (5) and a button for
operating the whistle or cut-out
reset (4).
Connection:
The controller needs to be connected to the track with the supplied power
cable. Insert the ends of the cable provided with the end caps under the loosened
screws of the connecting track (ETS Cat. No. 752), and tighten the screws. Take
care to ensure the cable ends do not touch each other. Insert the other end of the
cable into the holes (6) after loosening the screws (7) on the output connector
terminal (2) and tighten the cables by fastening the screws. The terminal can be
ejected from the feeder with the cable attached. Once the controller is connected
to the tracks, plug the lead-in cable from 24V DC external power supply into the
input connector (1). To operate an external power source, refer to the manual for
this source.

Operation:
Speed and direction of travel are controlled by the control knob (3). The
central position of the knob when the locomotive stops, is indicated by the lighting
of both green LEDs (5). By rotating the knob to one side or the other, the
locomotive moves forward or backwards, and its direction is indicated by lighting
one of the LEDs (5). If the direction of rotation of the control knob is inconsistent
with the direction of the locomotive, it is sufficient to interchange the wires at one
end of the cables.
You can operate the whistle by pressing the button (4) remotely.
Controller overload or short circuit are indicated by flashing of both green
LEDs (5). In this case, the power to the track is automatically disconnected. The
normal operation of the controller is restored by pressing the reset button (4) after
a short circuit has been rectified. Once the function is restored, one of the green
LEDs (5) lights up.
Whilst the controller is designed for continuous operation, we strongly recommend
you do not leave it switched on unattended or when not in use.
The product is intended for persons over 14 years of age.
