Crest Electronics CRE57005 REVOLUTION BASE STATION/SUPER RECEIVER 2.4 GHZ - Manual (Page 3)

June 24, 2010
When used as a Super Receiver you have enough power to control up to 5
locomotives depending on grades and the number of cars pulled. You will not
have the individual control of several locos, but can operate multiple trains at the
same time together.
This Super Receiver will work on either track power or battery power. If track
power is used you will need leads from the truck up to the car to supply the track
power to the receiver. Battery is, of course, on board the trailing car itself.
Aristo-Craft is making a trailing car with ball bearing wheels to supply power to
the car on all 8 wheels and will have this ready quite soon. It will hold the Super
Receiver and batteries plus speakers to have easy access to the system and will
be a covered gondola with an easy to remove top.
The Base Station/ Super Receiver should be kept inside a structure near the track
or in a covered gondola or box car to protect it from the elements.
Install the Remote Link Switch
Attach the remote link switch connector to the three pin header on the receiver.
There is a ‘push button’ Link switch on the receiver as an alternative, also.
When using a trailing car Locate a place to install the supplied Remote Link
Switch where it will be accessible from the outside of the car.
