Installation Guidelines

Speaker – Use the largest speaker that can reasonably fit your available space. For best acoustics the speaker should be sealed to the floor so that sound going out the front of the speaker is isolated from the back side.

Volume Switch and Access Jack – Unobtrusive but accessible. Typically in the floor of tenders and boxcars and on the fuel tanks of diesels. Many models have removable pieces, doors, etc. where you can mount these. Volume switch: ¼” hole; Jack: 9/32” hole.

Mounting the Sound Board – Make sure that the sound board will not touch anything metal. Use the foam tape provided; many modelers prefer hook and loop tape.

Reed Switches – If you use track magnets and reed switches to trigger sounds and effects, keep the reed

switches away from the speaker magnet and strong motor magnets. Reed switches should ride about ¼’’ above rail head and be spaced ½’’ on either side of center. However, it should be noted that you need the Auxiliary Input Board, P5T, to connect these reed switches. Reed Switch: ¼” hole.

Speed Sensor – You may need to experiment to get reliable triggering from a rotating axle with magnets on it. After mounting the magnets on the axle, hold the reed switch in various positions and

hook something to the reed so you can tell when the switch is closed. An ohm meter with a beeper works great. You can point the reed switch directly at the axle/magnets but there will be less motion tolerance. With the magnets sweeping the side of the reed switch (as shown) a clearance of about 3/16’’ is usually right. If you are too close you may get extra closures—one as the magnet approaches, and one as it leaves.
