How do you wire up these 2 accessories. I seemed to have lost my instuctions someplace. Therer is just one wire for each. Both of them come from the controller. Where does that one wire go on a ZW transformer?? And does it need track power to make it work or not?? Thanks.
On the 456, the wire out of the controller goes to either A, B, C, or D on the ZW.
This is the hot lead. The common comes from the outside rails, so yes it sort of does need track power to work(in the same way that an O22 needs track power even when running on the fixed voltage plug).
I would assume that the 497 is probably wired the same if it only has one wire out of the controller, although I’ve personally never handled one.
I used to have these accessories!!!
I had the instruction sheets as well!!!
Now Ben has them!!!
That’s fantastic!!!
Have a great day!!!
Wow!!!

I am good. I got it all wired up and they work. I made my own diagrams of the wiring i did. Thanks though.
lionel2,
I’m glad that all is running, for you.
