Installing the 153C Contactor for train activation

The 153C Contactor is activated by the weight of a passing train. If you would like your

trains to activate the accessory, place the Contactor under your traditional O or O-27

gauge track, as shown in Figure 1.

One of the track ties should rest firmly upon the top of the pressure plate. If your layout is

fastened to a board, loosen several sections on either side of the Contactor so that the track is

able to bend under the weight of the train.

The 153C Contactor was designed for use with traditional O and O-27 gauge track

only.

Note!

Wiring and operating your accessory using the 153C Contactor

Your accessory operates best at 12-14 volts (AC). Have an adult strip 1⁄4" of insulation from

both ends of the wires included with the accessory, if they have not already been stripped.

Only an adult should perform this task. Always use care when stripping wires.

Connect one wire to each spring clip terminal under the roof. Attach the other ends to

the #153C Contactor and lockon or transformer as shown in Figure 2 below. Alternately, you

may connect the three accessory terminals directly to a power supply and the separate switch

(included) for operation of the accessory using the switch. This is illustrated in Figure 5 on

page 8.

To connect the wires to the spring clips, press down the upper half of the spring clip

terminal until the lower loop projects through the slot. Insert the bare wire end into the loop,

then release the upper part of the clip. Spring tension will hold the wire tight.

The 153C Contactor is not compatible with the FasTrack track system.

Adjusting the 153C Contactor

After all the connections are made and your layout is powered up, the Contactor must be

adjusted so that the train will properly trigger the accessory.

1. Power up your layout.

2. Stop the train several sections away from the Contactor so that it does not press on the

Contactor plate.

3. Turn the adjustment nut either up or down until the accessory is triggered. Refer to Figure

1 on page 3 for the location of the adjustment nut.

4. Back up the adjustment nut just enough to cause the accessory to turn off.

Operating the accessory with the 153C Contactor

When properly adjusted, the 153C Contactor will respond to light finger pressure on the

track. Power up your accessory, and the interior lights will illuminate. The gateman will

emerge from his shed when the train triggers the 153C Contactor.

Wiring and operating your accessory using FasTrack

When you power up your accessory, the interior lights will illuminate. The gateman will

emerge from his shed when the train passes through the FasTrack Accessory Activator

Pack.

Because track power and the power demands placed on your transformer can vary, you may

want to use a separate power supply that has been set to a fixed voltage. While the power for

the accessory is no longer shared with the track, the Accessory Activator Pack will turn on your

accessory. Refer to Figure 3

Connecting your accessory to a 153IR Controller

The 153IR Controller (available separately, 6-14111) is an alternative to the 153C

Contactor. While the 153C Contactor relies on the weight of the train to activate the

accessory, the 153IR Controller is triggered by an infrared motion sensor. The 153IR also

allows you to set the length of time that the accessory remains on. Consult the 153IR

Controller’s owner’s manual for more information. Refer to Figure 6 below.
