Inc LocoNet Cable Maker Kit - Manual

Test EVERY LocoNet Cable before installation as follows:

1. Commercial cable testers can be used to test LocoNet Cables. Follow

the instructions provided with the cable tester to test cables without

connecting them to LocoNet. Once the test is completed good, cables

can be installed on the layout.

2. Every Digitrax Starter Set and LocoNet Cable Maker Kit includes an

LT1 Loconet Tester for testing LocoNet cables. LT1 LocoNet Testers

can also be purchased separately.

3. Plug one end of the LocoNet cable being tested into the LT1.

4. Plug the other end of the LocoNet cable being tested into LocoNet.

5. Turn on Track Power using a throttle.

6. Make sure address 00, the analog loco address, is set to 0 speed.

7. Leave the throttle plugged in to LocoNet.

8. If the cable is good ALL 4 LEDs will glow.

a. LED 1 checks RailSync White & Black wires

b. LED 2 checks LocoNet Black & Red wires

c. LED 3 checks LocoNet Green & Yellow wires

d. LED 4 checks RailSync Yellow & Blue wires

9. If any of the LEDs fail to glow or are dim, cut the ends o the cable

and crimp new connectors on the cable. Re-test the cable. If it still

fails the test, there may be a problem with the cable itself and you

should consider discarding it.
