Congratulations on your purchase of the American Flyer FasTrack Remote Switch! This switch operates and is programmable by your CAB remote or can be used conventionally.
You may choose to remove the installed manual controllers and forgo that wiring all together.
The switch connects easily to other American Flyer FasTrack track sections. Use the switch to
join two track loops, create a switching yard, or add a siding. Run your trains around your
layout with the freedom only these American Flyer Command Control Switches will give you!

Joining the track sections
FasTrack track sections join together easily. With interlocking roadbed sections and metal rail joiners, the track fits together securely so you always have good electrical contact.
Take a look at Figure 1 to see how to join the track sections.
1. Line up your two sections of track.
2. Insert the rails into the joiners at the ends of the corresponding rails.
Be sure that the rail is not resting on top of the joiner. This will cause poor electri-
cal connection and train performance.
3. Press the sections together until the interlocking roadbed snaps into
place.
4. Feed the wires through the notch in the roadbed. Refer to Figure 1.

Operating the switch in conventional mode
You may operate the switch using the controller or the illuminated switch lamp on the roadbed. Once power is applied, the lamp will illuminate indicating that power is being
applied to the track. Refer to Figure 2.
To operate the switch using the controller, power up the track, then pull the lever to
the opposite position. Gently press the lever past the end of its path. The lights inside the
controller will change colors to designate the change in switch positions. The red lights
designate the curved path. The green lights designate the straight path.
Track power must be on to operate the switch using the controller.
To operate the switch using the switch lamp, simply rotate the switch lamp. The new
position of the colored lenses on the lamp designate the change in switch positions. If by
some chance, your lamp pops off the track simply re-insert it into the slot where the LED is
located (back to its original position). See Figure 3.
This switch is NOT equipped with a non-derailing feature.
