POWER G
Model AG990
TRAIN CONTROLLER FOR DC POWERED TRAINS
CAUTION ELECTRICALLY OPERATED PRODUCT
As with all electric products, precautions should be observed during
handling and use to reduce the risk of electric shock
For Your Protection
·
Not recommended for children under 12 years of age.
·
Turn off the power switch when it is not in use.
·
Do not use or store in damp areas
·
Do not open the cabinet and try to repair it yourself
·
Before returning your unit for repair or servicing, make certain it is
defective. Do not shut down your layout unnecessarily.
·
Never operate an AC powered locomotive with your Power G. This
may damage your locomotive motor.
NOTE
When connecting any terminal, care must be taken that wires do
not touch more than one terminal at one time. Loose wires are a
danger to your unit and layout; be certain wires are properly
wrapped around the terminal before tightening lugs. It is
recommended that the power pack be turned off before doing any
wiring.
PARENTS PLEASE NOTE
As with any electrically operating unit, it is always best to
periodically examine it and have any potentially hazardous part
repaired or replaced.
SERVICE
Your Power G power pack has been thoroughly tested at the factory. If, for some
reason your Power G is properly connected and still not functioning correctly, it
may have to be returned for service. Please telephone our service department at
(732) 225-6360 before returning your unit.
If it should ever become necessary to return your unit, remove the throttle handle
and pack the unit in its original box prior to placing it in a larger carton. This is a
very heavy unit and therefore requires at least 6 inches of packing material and a
very sturdy outer carton. Be certain to send the unit Parcel Post insured or
United Parcel Service and include a clearly printed letter with your name, your
address and daytime telephone number, and a detailed description of the
problem you are experiencing. Please include a $9.00 check or a money order
for shipping and handling. Send the unit to:
Model Rectifier Corporation
Attn: Power Pack Service Dept.

Edison, NJ 08837
All of us at MRC would like to join in wishing you many happy years of model railroading with your new Power G!

INS2272 CONTROLS MASTER ON/OFF SWITCH

The master on/off switch disconnects the input power from your MRC Power G
and shuts the unit down completely. The pilot light will glow when the unit is
turned on.
DIRECTION SWITCH
Reverses polarity to the track, thereby reversing the direction of your locomotive.
THROTTLE CONTROL
The throttle is used to set the speed of the locomotive you are controlling.
SHORT CIRCUIT OR OVERLOAD LIGHT (variable DC only)
Whenever a short circuit or an overload occurs, the unit will stop output
immediately and the overload indicator will glow. Once the overload or short is
corrected, the unit will restore power and the indicator light will go off.
Indicator light will not operate for accessory overload
TERMINALS ACCESSORIES DC

These terminals supply 22 VDC for use with DC accessories. Maximum current
rating is 8 amps. Overload protection will activate automatically. To restore
power, shut unit down or disconnect the accessory.
TIP
For large outdoor layouts, the accessory DC output can be used
with a radio controlled accessory throttle, such as Aristo Train
Engineer®. The terminal lugs are marked plus ( + ) and minus ( - )
for ease of installation. This also gives you dual control of two
separate loops, using your throttle handle to control one loop and
the accessory radio control throttle to control the second loop.
MRC Universal Voltage Reducer (item AT880) is required for
this installation.
Not to be used with common rail type of wiring.
VARIABLE DC
The terminals marked, track 0~22 VDC are for attachment of your Power G to
the main line of your layout. It is important that either 16 or 18 gauge wire be
used to make connections from the pack to the track or accessories.
To avoid voltage drop on larger layouts, it is advisable to run a two-
wire bus (plus and minus) around the perimeter of your layout. You
can then attach power feeder wires of a slightly smaller gauge from
the track to your bus wires approximately every 6 to 10 feet.
CONGRATULATIONS
You have purchased an advanced DC Train Control Power Pack. MRC's
Power G power pack has all the power to run multi motored G-scale trains.
The massive power of this unit will enhance the performance of your layout
for many years.
