I TinMan here. These new accessory power kits are designed to make hooking up multiple accessories for your layout. The output terminals are extra large and can handle several wire connections each. This enables you to hook up all of your switches, RCS tracks,. or other accessories, to one accessory output on your transformer. There is also a very rapid action manual reset circuit breaker which not only protects your accessories, but more important your transformer from overheating and causing potential damage to the transformer itself! In case of an overload or short circuit, the circuit breaker will open, and the red LED on the top will light, indicating that the breaker has opened. The breaker will stay open until you push the red reset button on the side of the kit.
The kit comes in 2 versions. The first version has 2 push button switches to the right of the led. These switches turn on or off power to two of the red power output terminals. They were like a pushbutton light switch. Push them in once, and power is turned on to the red connector next to that switch, and the switch will light up with its own built in LED. Push it again, and the power to just that connector is off, and the LED in the switch will go off.
The second version is for someone who does not need the on/off switches.
This kit was designed to compliment our original output power kit, which has been so popular. The original kit was designed to protect sensitive electronics in some of the newer trains, which is great. However, it not only does that, but as or even more important, it protects the transformers. Why? Because the circuit breakers used in both these devices are designed to handle only the outputs they are installed to. The main circuit breaker is a much heavier one, which takes way too much time to blow.
Like all TinMan products these units come with full instructions and are guaranteed for 2 years.
Lastly we have been questioned by lots of folks, who are curious about how we come up with such innovative stuff. Well believe it or not 90+percent of the ideas have come from folks just like you that would like to have accessories, that no one else has thought of. our job is simply to figure a way to make them happen!
Any way thanks for looking and remember
