Setting up - Fitting the battery

Slide battery (+ side up) in under gold
contact first, then push down.
Once the battery is fitted the LED’s
should light - the slightest movement
automatically switches them on.

Remove the roof from your coach

Tip - Sometimes the roof and body are
all one piece and unclip/unscrew from
the chassis or the roof comes off on its
own. Model shops and manufacturers
can also offer advice.

Fit the lighting strip into the roof

Use Blutack or sticky pads to hold it in
place if required (if model has a metal
roof, insulate first using tape).

Refit the roof

You have completed installation!
Lights will switch off automatically
four minutes after the last movement.

Additional information
Battery When lights become dim or

intermittent replace with a standard
CR2032, available from many retailers
and Train-Tech dealers as part BAT1.

Lighting strips may be shortened as
the red dashes show - details overleaf

Other coach lighting strips

Versions with cool or warm white LEDs
plus an extra effect like flashing tail or
flickering flame tail light, electric
spark effects & auto amber door lights

Coach Lighting Strip - additional information

Cutting the lighting strip down

The strip may be cut down, either to fit it into a
shorter coach or to split lighting inside a
compartment to avoid obstacles such as a pillar,
wall or a motor in a multiple unit for example.
With care it may be cut at any of the four points
indicated by a dotted line as shown right & overleaf.
We suggest using fine sharp model or wire cutters
to make a clean cut without getting too close to any
silver circuit board ‘pads’ or twisting the strip.
Remove the battery before you cut and smooth the
edges with a fine file before using. If splitting the
lighting strip you can reconnect part strips using
wires to link any two rows of 3 silver pads together.

Moving Tail, Spark or Door effect LEDs

If your lighting strip also has tail, spark or door
light effects you can also move these either by
moving the fitted socket(s) or connecting the LED’s
directly to the silver pads (this requires soldering).
Note that all rows of the 2 and 3 silver pads on the
lighting strip are connected together so any can be
used either for effect LED’s or connecting split
strips together. The drawing on the right shows the
many possible positions for the effect LED’s.

Note that modifications made to the strip are at the owners risk

How the automatic coach lighting strip works

The strip incorporates a special microchip and
motion sensor which detects slight movement and
turns on the lights, then keeps them on until four
minutes after the last motion, so that the lights do
not go out as soon as it stops at a signal or station.
