This makes it ideal for garden railroading where wheel to track conductivity can be a problem. Just connect to the d.c. power source of your choice and run your railroad the way you always wanted to. Since each Keithco receiver input connection contains diode bridges, there is no need to consider voltage polarity. Polarity is automatically corrected by the receiver. All have short circuit protection, overtemp shutdown, directional lighting and can run on battery operation.
Installation is very simple.
Each Locolinc receiver has two bridged inputs. Therefore, one input can be connected to track power, the other to battery power. The input with the higher voltage will dominate as the receiver's input voltage. If track voltage is removed or lost, the battery will automatically power the receiver with no interruption in operation. Should you wish to use batteries as the input to your Locolinc receiver, a simple charging scheme is available using the Keithco KBC-110 charger.
