DC track power installation using standard batteries & DALLEE controller #755
Battery power - must not exceed 24 volts DC.
Use one 9 volt battery or a string of 6 AA or
AAA batteries (24 volt DC maximum input). Life
depends on volume setting and speaker
impedance. Typical operation of most sound
systems for one good 9 volt batteries is about 8
hours, AA or larger is well beyond 50 hours!

LOAD
Lighted car / other engines used in consist preperation. You will know if this is necessary
by placing the locomotive / lighted cars on the track and then attempting to blow the
HORN or operate the BELL. If they do not operate with the other items on the track
then you need to do the following. We suggest doing this to all lighted cars or
engines used in the same consist since it lets the signal stay at it's maximum level.
Lighting load, other locomotive in
consist, or other type circuitry
drawing off of track power. As
shown one lead needs to be
disconnected from the rail and a
"CHOKE" needs to be placed in
series with the load. In most cases
the 1.5 ampere (#702) will handle
the load.
