Preparing the Gantry Crane for operation

When you are ready to store your Gantry Crane, be sure to use the supplied elastic band to keep

tension on the hook line. Use your remote to position the boom to fit in the foam cavity.

Note Always keep light tension on the hook when handling the Gantry Crane.

Gantry Crane basics

Powering Your Gantry Crane

Your Gantry Crane is powered using track power. The Gantry Crane requires a special

track section for gantry unit motion available from other manufacturers (not included).

This track section has three rails in the middle for regular train operation, and two rails on

the outsides meant for Gantry Crane operation. Track positive connects to one of these rails,

and track negative to the other. The crane is reversible, so which rail is positive and which is

negative does not matter. See Figure 1 below for more information.

Note Your Gantry Crane is factory programmed with an Engine ID# of “1.” To change

the ID#, see page 5.

As your fleet of LEGACY or TMCC equipped locomotives and equipment grows, you will want to

assign each unit a unique ID#. Use your CAB-1, CAB-1L, or CAB-2 Remote Controller.

1. Turn off power to the Gantry Crane.

2. Make sure that the Command Base is plugged in, then power up the crane.

3. Slide the RUN/PROGRAM switch to the PROGRAM position. Refer to Figure 3.

4. Press ENG or ACC.

5. Enter the ID# for the Gantry Crane using the numeric keypad on the Remote Controller.

Select any number between 1 and 98.

6. Press SET.

7. Slide the RUN/PROGRAM switch to the RUN position.

At this point, the new ID# has been set. When you power up, be sure to address the Gantry

Crane using the new ID#.

Figure 3. Switch location

When using the Legacy system the CAB-2 MUST be set to CAB-1 mode.

The crane will not respond to Legacy mode commands.

When using the CAB-1 or CAB-1L, the crane MUST be programmed as an

engine. The crane may be programmed as an accessory or an engine when

using a CAB-2.

Gantry Crane basics

To operate the crane, you will need to use a Command Base and Remote Controller (LEGACY

CAB-2, CAB-1L, or CAB-1; all available separately).

Operating the Gantry Crane

Press ENG and 1 on the CAB-1, CAB-1L, or CAB-2 controller to select the Cab motor.

Rotate the THROTTLE knob clockwise on the CAB-1, CAB-1L, or

CAB-2 controller to rotate the cab clockwise.

Rotate the THROTTLE knob counter-clockwise on the CAB-1, CAB-

1L, or CAB-2 controller to rotate the cab counter-clockwise.

Cab-1 or Cab-1L remote LEGACY remote

The speed of the rotation of the boom is determined by

how fast the THROTTLE knob is rotated.

Note!

Operating the Cab Motor

Gantry Crane basics

Operating the Gantry Crane continued

Press 2 on the CAB-1, CAB-1L, or CAB-2 controller to select the Roll motor.

Rotate the THROTTLE knob clockwise on the CAB-1, CAB-1L, or

CAB-2 controller to make the Gantry Crane roll forward.

Rotate the THROTTLE knob counter-clockwise on the CAB-1, CAB-

1L, or CAB-2 controller to make the Gantry Crane roll backwards.

Cab-1 or Cab-1L remote

LEGACY remote

The speed that the crane rolls on the track is determined by how fast

the THROTTLE knob is rotated.

Pressing the DIR key on the CAB-1 or CAB-1L, or pressing down on

the BOOST/BRAKE button on the CAB-2 controller will reverse the

operation of the THROTTLE knob so that clockwise will move the

crane backwards and counter-clockwise will move the crane forward.

This allows the user to set it up so the control is intuitive based on

which side of the crane they are on. Setting is not retained when

power is turned off.

Note!

Operating the Roll Motor

Your Gantry Crane’s hook and electromagnet are capable of lifting approximately 4 oz (1/4

lb). The electromagnet automatically turns off after 60 seconds. The electromagnet cannot be

turned on again for 8 seconds.
