Wiring your CW-80 Transformer
Connect your FasTrack terminal section to the CW-80 Transformer. Use the wires that are already attached to the terminal section. Make sure that all connections are secure. Loose connections
can produce extremely high temperatures. For this reason, do not touch the terminals or track
connections during use. Also, do not locate scenery materials such as lichen or ground foam near
the terminals.

5.PlugtheCW-80Transformerintoyourwalloutlet(120volts).
As your layout expands, you may also make power connections with the stripped ends of wires,
placing no more than two wires on each terminal. For best performance on large layouts, it is
recommended that you use 16-gauge wire to connect your CW-80 Transformer to the track. On larger
layoutswhereseveraltrackconnectionsarerequired,theuseofseparatejunctions/terminalstrips
(available at your local electronics store) is recommended to prevent voltage drops.
To prevent the excessive build up of heat, be sure to select the proper wire gauge for
your layout. Follow these guidelines:
• Trackconnectionsmustbemadewith18-gaugewireorheavier.Largerlayouts
require a minimum of 16-gauge wire.
• Use24-gaugewireonlywhenconnectingsingleaccessoriesthatrequirelower

• Whenwiringmultipleaccessories(twoormore)oraccessoriesthatrequirehigher
current, be sure to use 18- to 16-gauge wire.
