 The charger has a female plug and on the Guardian board has a male plug.
Insert both plugs firmly to charge the battery. The charger will indicate a Red light
showing that the battery is charging.
 Charging time is 2.5Hrs to 3Hrs
 While the battery is charging the Blue light on the Guardian Board will flash.
 When the battery is fully charge the light on the charger will illuminate Green.
 On the battery Guardian Board the LED light will illuminate a solid Blue light
indicating the battery is fully charged and fully balanced.
 A full charge battery will provide an average of two (2) hours of running time,
depending on the type of locomotive and the length and nature of the train.
3. Installation
 It is necessary to have a way to control the locomotive while using battery
operation. It is recommended that Crest, On Board Receiver 2.4 Revolution
System CRE 57002SD or CRE57002SS, be utilized as the operating control. The
“On Board” receiver should be installed in the locomotive, tender or trailing car.
 Note: if you do not have the Revolution System to operate your locomotive you
need to purchase the complete set, CRE 57000SD or CRE57000SS.
 If the locomotive wired incorrectly for battery operation or there is a short on the
battery out-put wires on the locomotive the LED on the Guardian Board will
illuminate Red. Unplug the battery plug from the locomotive and wait for five
seconds for the Blue LED to Flash, at this time the battery is ready to use.
4. Operation
 Connect the Guardian male ‘two pin’ plug to the female ‘two pin’ plug on the
locomotive.
 Note: if the locomotive you are using does not have the female plug for battery
operation you need to wire the locomotive for battery operation. We recommend
using, ART 29511 plug for battery operation.
 Use the instruction manual of the Revolution Train Engineer 2.4 GHz to Link the
transmitter and receiver to operate the locomotive.
 The locomotive will stop moving when the battery reaches its discharge capacity.
The Guardian Board LED will Flash Red, at this time unplug the Guardian board
plug from the locomotive and charge the battery.
