Supplying power to your LEGACY PowerMaster
T
he LEGACY PowerMaster receives its power from an external power supply. It has
been designed to operate with the Lionel 135W PowerHouse (6-12866) and the 180W
PowerHouse (6-22983). It may also be used with any traditional transformer producng up
to 20 VAC with a current rating of 7-10 amps. Use only traditional transformers that have a
pure sine wave output such as the Lionel Postwar ZW, Lionel KW, MTH Z-4000, and similar
transformers. Operation with transformers that have a chopped sine wave output such as the
MTH Z-750, MTH Z-1000, MRC DualPower 027, Lionel CW-80 or similar transformers will
result in unpredicable operation. To make the proper connections to a traditional transformer,
you need a Power Adapter Cable (available separately, 6-12893).
Connecting your PowerMaster to a PowerHouse power supply
1. Insert the Power House Power Supply’s connector plug into the PowerMaster’s connector
jack. Refer to Figure 5 below.
2. On the PowerMaster, set the power selection switch to 135 or 180 watts, depending on the
type of PowerHouse Power Supply you are using.
3. Plug the PowerHouse Power Supply into a wall outlet (120 volts, 60 Hertz).
Always switch off the PowerHouse Power Supply when you are not operating your
railroad.
