1. Getting started
Scope of delivery
Transformer with permanently mounted mains cable with uro flat
plug
Manual
Intended use
The transformers 50 VA-16 V und 52 VA-12/18 V are designed to be
operated according to the instructions in this manual with model
railways and in model building. Any other use is inappropriate and
invalidates any guarantees.
The transformers are not intended to be installed by children under 14
years of age.
Reading, understanding and following the instructions in this manual
are mandatory for the user.
Please note:
Non-observance of the manual may cause damage to your
transformer. There is also a risk of short circuit, fire or electric shock!
Danger to life!

2. Safety instructions
No conversions and repair attempts!
Do not make any conversions or changes to your transformer. Do not
open or disassemble it. Do not replace a damaged mains cable, in
which case dispose of the transformer.
Protect from moisture!
The transformer must not become damp or wet. Therefore, use it only
in closed and dry rooms.
Protect it from external damage!
Do not expose the transformer to strong vibrations, strong mechanical
stress or direct intensive sunlight.
Make sure that the mains cable is not crushed or damaged by sharp-
edged objects.
If the housing or the insulation of the mains cable is damaged, do not
continue to use the transformer.
Protect from overheating!
nsure that the transformer is able to release the heat generated
during operation to the ambient air. Therefore, never cover or install it.
Otherwise the transformer may overheat.
Protect it from falling down!
Always place the transformer on a stable surface. The transformer can
be damaged even if it is dropped from a low height. There is also a risk
of injury due to its heavy weight.
Connect it correctly!
The transformer is only approved for connection to an AC voltage of
230 V/AC, 50 Hz. Never try to operate the device at a different voltage.
Observe the further instructions in Section 4 "Installation, connection
and commissioning".

3. Assembly, connection and commissioning
Special note for transformer 5 VA-16 V:
The transformer 50 VA - 16 V is not a toy transformer!
It does not meet the requirements for transformers for
toys according to DIN N 61558-2-7. Therefore do not use
this transformer in areas where children are unattended.
Installation
Place the transformer in such a way that it is secured against falling
down and the heat generated during operation can be dissipated to the
ambient air. The base plate of the transformer has holes to
accommodate fastening screws. Never screw screws directly into the
housing of the transformer!
Connecting the loads
When connecting the supply lines to the loads, make sure that the line
cross section is sufficient. Overloading the connecting cables can cause
overheating and fire hazard!
The terminals on the transformer are intended for connecting the
consumers. Press the pushbutton on the terminal and insert the
stripped connecting cable into the opening.
nsure that the maximum total current / total power is not exceeded,
otherwise the transformer will be overloaded.

Do not connect in series or parallel!
Never connect the outputs of several transformers in parallel or in
series. This can cause short circuits and dangerous voltages.
Make sure (e.g. in the event of subsequent modifications) that you do
not inadvertently connect supply lines to loads to the outputs of two (or
more) transformers.
Not like this!
Because the power of one transformer is not sufficient, in the example
shown the booster is supplied by two transformers connected in
parallel. This connection is not recommended!
Wiring errors, which can result from ignorance or accident, carry
considerable risks. There is a danger that the recovery of the input
voltage could result in a dangerous touch voltage. For toy transformers
(e.g. transformer 52 VA-12-18 V) this danger is reduced by an
integrated regenerative protection. Safety transformers that are not toy
transformers (e.g. transformer 50 VA-16 V) do not have this feedback
protection!
Parallel connection of transformers:
Danger to life through electric shock!

Connection to the power supply and commissioning
Insert the mains plug directly into a properly installed and fused safety
socket that is supplied with 230 V/AC, 50 Hz (10/16 A). The
transformer then immediately supplies the output voltage.
Do not use a ballast unit, dimmer or similar for the connection.
After the formation of condensation water, wait until the condensation
has evaporated before starting up. This can take several hours.
4. Operation
The transformer has a thermal protection switch that automatically
switches off the unit in case of overload or overheating. The
transformer can only be put back into operation after
it has cooled down completely (duration at least 30 minutes) and
the mains plug has been disconnected from the mains supply.
liminate the cause of the overload or overheating before restarting the
transformer.
