Crest Electronics CRE57005 REVOLUTION BASE STATION/SUPER RECEIVER 2.4 GHZ - Manual (Page 4)

June 24, 2010
The Base Station / Super Receiver is designed to work on track power or battery power
of at least 12 volts DC to a maximum of 30 volts DC. We recommend the CRE 55465 Elite
Dual Power Supply 13 Amp 23 volts or the CRE 55468 Everest Power Supply 15 AMP 24
volts to run on track power or any regulated power supply.
When running from track
power using a controller, connect DC power directly to the Base Station / Super
Receiver on the right side terminals and set your power to the highest setting.
Connect wires on the left side terminal on the receiver to the track.
BATTERY POWER
The Base Station / Super Receiver can also be powered from Li-Ion (Lithium Ion),
Ni-MH (Nickel Metal Hydride), Ni-Cd (Nickel Cadmium) or Gel Cell batteries. The
maximum voltage must not exceed 30 volts. Multiple batteries can be wired in
series or parallel to increase voltage or run time. When operating from batteries,
set the track/battery switch on your locomotive to ‘Battery’.
The receiver has two sets of terminals, one is used for power in-put (right hand
side) and the other is used for power output (left hand side). Hook up the battery
power wires to the input terminal of the receiver. Aristo Craft locomotives have
two MU plugs on both ends of the locomotive; they are used for input power to
the locomotive. The recommended pack is CRE556610 and it’s a Lithium Ion state
of the art battery pack.
Note: If needed Aristo Craft has the Male and Female connectors in stock, also
the MU connectors to electrically connect more than one locomotive.
