Owner’s Manual

Car and track not included.

Congratulations on your purchase of the Lionel AMC/ARC Log Loader! This accessory

incorporates two of the most sophisticated TrainMaster Command Control components, the

Accessory Motor Controller and the Action Recorder Controller, which are pre-installed for

simple set-up.

In the Command Control environment, you control the chain drive, the stakes, and the

lamps using your CAB-1 Remote Controller (available separately, 6-12868) and a Command

Base (available separately, 6-12911). You are able to record and play back an entire animated

sequence created with the Log Loader.

Placing the Log Loader on your layout

The Log Loader is designed for use with remote-control log dump cars (available separately).

Position a log dump car over the magnetic disk on a remote-control track section (available

separately, 6-65530 for O gauge, 6-65149 or 6-12746 for O-27 gauge, and 6-12020 for FasTrack

layouts), and activate the track section to dump the logs into the log loader’s bin. As illustrated

in Figure 1, locate the Log Loader beside a remote-control track section. Another section of track

should be placed on the opposite side for loading your cars.

To operate the Remote-Control Track section with your CAB-1 Remote Controller, we

recommend that TMCC Operating Track Controller (available separately, 6-14185).

Note!

Connecting the power supply

Your Log Loader was designed to operate at 16-18 volts (AC). The power supply terminals are

located along the side of the controller. Refer to Figure 2. Please note that the ends of the

wires must be stripped back 1/8” to 1/4”.

Only an adult should perform this task. We recommend using a pair of wire

strippers.

1. Attach one wire to the Power/A terminal on the power supply and connect it to the terminal

labeled A on the underside of the controller.

To make the controller connections, loosen the terminal locks using a small phillips-

head screwdriver and insert the bare ends of the wires into the holes in the housing.

Tighten the terminal locks to secure the connection.

2. Attach another wire to the Common/Ground/U terminal on the power supply and connect it

to the terminal labeled U on the underside of the controller.

Caution!

Operating the Log Loader with the controller

The Log Loader has three different functions that can be operated using a controller lever.

The controller levers are illustrated in Figure 3. The LED will illuminate each time you

operate a lever.

•Use the chain drive lever to activate the chain drive. Push the lever forward to

increase the speed. Pull the lever back to decrease the speed and turn off the drive.

•Use the stake lever to operate the stakes. Push the lever forward to lower the

stakes. Pull the lever back to return the stakes to the upright position.

•Use the light lever to turn the lights on and off and adjust the intensity.

Connecting the Log Loader for operation in the TrainMaster Command

Control environment

To operate the Log Loader using your CAB-1 Remote Controller (available separately,

6-12868), you must connect the Crane to the Command Base (available separately, 6-12911).

The Command Base will transmit your CAB-1 Remote Control commands to this accessory.

If you have no other TMCC Controllers connected, you will need to wire the Log Loader to the

Command Base using a Command Base Cable (available separately, 6-14191 or 6-14195). If

you have other TMCC Controllers connected, you will need to “daisy chain” the Controllers, or

wire them one after another, using a Controller to Controller Cable (available separately,

6-14193, 6-14196, or 6-14197). Refer to Figure 4.

• If you are using the Command Base Cable, simple plug the cable into the COMPUTER port

on the Command Base. Connect the red wire to the DAT terminal on the Log Loader. Finally,

connect the green wire to the COM terminal on the Log Loader.

• If you have other TMCC Controllers already connected to your Command Base, simply

connect the DAT terminals with the red wire and the COM terminals with the green wire

from the Controller to Controller Cable.

Assigning an ID number to your Log Loader

Prepare your Log Loader for operation in the TrainMaster Command Control environment by

assigning a unique engine (ENG) ID number to it. The Log Loader will only respond to

commands that are intended for this ID number.

1. Using a needle nose pliers, remove the RUN/PROGRAM jumper from the bottom of the

controller. Refer to Figure 5 for the location of the jumper.

2. Press the ENG button on your CAB-1 Remote Controller.

3. Select a unique ID number (0-99) and enter it with the CAB-1 Remote Controller’s numeric

keypad.

4. Press SET on your CAB-1 Remote Controller.

5. Replace the RUN/PROGRAM jumper from the underside of the controller.

Restoring the factory default settings

Follow these steps to reset the Log Loader to its factory defaults. The ID numbers and voltage

settings will be reset.

Your recording will not be cleared.

1. Remove the jumper from the underside of the controller. Refer to Figure 5 on page 7 for the

location of the jumper.

2. Turn off power to the Log Loader.

3. Pull the three levers down towards the front of the controller.

4. While holding the three levers down, turn on power to the Log Loader. The LED flashes once.

5. Release the levers. At this point, the LED will flash.

6. Replace the jumper, and the Log Loader is reset.

Operating your Log Loader in the TrainMaster Command Control

environment

After you have connected the Log Loader to the Command Base and assigned it a unique ID

number, you are ready to operate the accessory. Please note that the Log Loader will

respond only while you are operating the controls.

Begin by addressing the Log Loader. Press ENG and enter the unique ID number assigned in

the previous section.

• Operating the stakes using the red THROTTLE KNOB on your CAB-1 Remote Control. A

clockwise rotation will lower the stakes. A counter-clockwise rotation will raise the stakes.

• Operate the chain drive using the BRAKE and BOOST buttons. BOOST turns on the drive.

BRAKE turns off the drive.

• Turn the lights on and off and adjust the intensity using the Fand Rbuttons.

Note!

Making a simple recording with the Log Loader

Follow these steps to create a simple recording with the Log Loader. As you use your CAB-1

Remote Controller to operate the Log Loader, the accessory will memorize each command.

After you press AUX1, 9, you have 45 seconds to create a recording.

A CAB-1 Remote Controller and Command Base are required to make a recording.

Plan your recordings before you begin. Remember—the accessory will memorize

every command, including the unintentional ones. If you make a mistake, just start

over. You can always record over a program.

1. Remove the RUN/PROGRAM jumper from the bottom of the controller. Refer to Figure 5 on

page 7 for the location of the jumper.

2. Press ENG and enter the Log Loader’s ID number.

When creating a recording, the LED will blink on for one second and off for one

second.

3. Press AUX1,9on the CAB-1 Remote Controller to start recording.

4. Operate the accessory.

5. Press AUX1,0to end the recording.

6. Replace the jumper.

Note!

Playing the recording

Follow these steps to play your recording.

Always keep the starting point (the initial position of the Log Loader) and the input

voltages the same. We recommend that you start with the Log Loader stopped. Before

you play the recording, be sure to position the accessory where it was when you

started to record for more consistent results.

1. Press ENG and enter the Log Loader’s ID number.

2. Press AUX2 on the CAB-1 Remote Controller to play the recording. Press AUX2 again to

pause the recording.

3. Press AUX1,0to discontinue the recording at any time during playback.

“Looping” the recording

You may choose to have the recording “loop,” or play repeatedly. Keep in mind that the loop

command is not a part of the actual recording; therefore, this function can be turned on or off at any

time. Follow these steps to create a loop after you have made the recording.

Do not remove the jumper.

1. Press ENG and enter the Log Loader’s ID number.

2. Press AUX1,8on the numeric keypad.

3. Press SET on the CAB-1 Remote Controller.

Removing a loop

Because the looping function is not a part of the recording, you can remove it at any time without

erasing your recording.

Do not remove the jumper.

1. Press ENG and enter the Log Loader’s ID number.

2. Press AUX1,7on the numeric keypad.

3. Press SET on the CAB-1 Remote Controller.
