  Solder the ground wire from where the blue quick connect was to the adjoining outside rail, marked in light blue.

• Step 4: Extend Wires
  Extend the electromagnet wire (unsoldered earlier) and add wire, to the fifth- rail contact. Run both wires to the outside of the track section for connection to the ASC2.

• Step 5: Connect Wires to ASC2

• Connect the two wires from the Operating Track section to the ASC2.

• Step 6: Connect COMM Terminal
  Connect the COMM terminal on the ASC2 to either accessory power or track center rail. Ensure proper power supply for ASC2’s internal relays

5. Press the ASC2 PGM button to exit program mode.

Step 8. To control the electromagnet uncoupler:

• If the ASC2 was programmed as TMCC ACC #1 and wired per Step 5, then the uncoupler would be ACC #1.
• On the CAB controller, press ACC, 1.
  • Press AUX1 to activate the uncoupler. Letting go of AUX1 will turn the uncoupler off. This is momentary action.
  • Press AUX2 to turn the uncoupler on. It will stay on until AUX2 is pressed again. This is latching action.
  • Note: It is highly recommended to not operate the electromagnet uncoupler for more than 5 seconds at a time as heat will build up and may damage the Operating Track section.

Step 9. To control the operating rails:

• If the ASC2 was programmed as TMCC ACC #1 and wired per Step 5, then the operating rails would be ACC #2. On the CAB controller, press ACC, 2.
• Press AUX1 to activate the operating rails. Letting go of AUX1 will turn the operating rails off. This is momentary action.
