Wiring your Accessory Motor Controller
Connecting the COMM wires

Y    our AMC unit will need to communicate with the Command Base and any other TMCC
     products you have connected to the AMC unit. To make these connections, you will need the
Command Base Cable (available separately, 6-14191 for a 6’ cable or 6-14195 for a 20’ cable).
Follow these steps and refer to Figure 1 on page 3 to connect your AMC unit to the Command
Base.
1. Connect the DB9 Connector at the end of the Command Base Cable (the
    end that looks like a computer cable) to the COMPUTER terminal on the
    Command Base.
2. Connect the red wire at the end of the Command Base Cable to the DAT
    terminal on the AMC unit.
3. Connect the green wire to the COM terminal on the AMC unit.

 LED      When a command is sent from the Command Base for another TMCC product, the
          LED on the AMC unit will flash for a tenth of a second.

Connecting additional TMCC products in a “daisy chain”

Y   ou may choose to power additional TMCC products using the same power supply and
    Command Base by creating a “daisy chain,” or a series of TMCC units wired in succession.
Refer to Figure 2 and follow these steps as you connect the AMC to the next TMCC product.
Power connections for additional units
    Attach one wire to the additional POWER U terminal on the AMC unit and connect it to the
POWER U terminal on another product. Then, attach another wire to the POWER A terminal on
the AMC unit and connect it to the POWER A terminal on another product. Add additional
products in the same manner, connecting the POWER U terminals and the POWER A terminals.
COMM connections for additional units
    Attach a red wire to the DAT terminal of the AMC unit and connect it to the DAT terminal of
the next TMCC product. Then, attach a green wire to the COM terminal on your AMC unit and
connect it to the COM terminal of the next product. Add additional products in the same
manner, connecting the DAT terminals and the COM terminals.

Wiring your Accessory Motor Controller
Connecting your accessories to the AMC unit

Y   our AMC unit is capable of controlling and channeling power to four accessory components
    (motors and lights). Connect these components to the AMC unit at the top row of terminals.
Two connections are required for each motor or light, a power (+) connection and a ground (-)
connection, unless they share common wiring.
See Figures 4, 5, and 6 on pages 16-18 for specific examples.
Keep in mind the following points:
• The component (light or motor) connected to the LIGHT1 or MOTOR1 terminals will be
   controlled by the BRAKE and BOOST buttons on the CAB-1 Remote Controller.
• The component connected to the LIGHT2 or MOTOR2 terminals will be controlled by the red
   knob, or throttle, on the CAB-1 Remote Controller.
 Note! The AMC label indicates that there are two LIGHT and two MOTOR outputs. Keep in
       mind that you may connect a motor to a LIGHT output, or vice versa. If you are
       connecting both motors and lights, we recommend that you connect the lights to the
       LIGHT outputs and the motors to the MOTOR outputs for the most convenient
       operation of those components.
 Hint!    If you are connecting older Postwar accessories or other accessories with large motors
          and you notice the accessory lights flickering or irregular operation of the
          accessories, you may need to attach a capacitor (4.7 microFarad @ 50 volts, bipolar)
          across the motor connections or AMC output terminals. Capacitors are available from
          your local electronics store.

Operating your Accessory Motor Controller
Assigning an ID# to your accessory motors and lights

T   o operate the accessories connected to the AMC unit, you will need to assign an ID# to the
    two LIGHT outputs and the two MOTOR outputs.
Keep in mind the following points:
• The components connected to MOTOR1 and MOTOR2 will share the same odd ID#.
• The components connected LIGHT1 and LIGHT2 will share the same even ID# number,
   assigned automatically when you assign the ID# for the first pair (the odd ID#).
1. Remove the RUN/PROGRAM JUMPER on the side of the AMC unit.
   Pull the small black connector from the terminal at the side of your AMC unit.
2. Press the ENG button on your CAB-1 Remote Controller.
3. Select an odd ID# (0-99) and enter it into the CAB-1 Remote Controller
   with the numeric keypad. This will be the ID# for the MOTOR outputs.
   The even ID# for the LIGHT outputs will be assigned automatically.
4. Press SET on your CAB-1 Remote Controller.

 Note! When you press SET, the LED on the AMC unit will flash for one second to indicate
        that the unit was programmed.
5. Replace the RUN/PROGRAM JUMPER at the side of the AMC unit.

Operating your Accessory Motor Controller
Operating your accessories

 In Constant mode, you adjust the voltage to an accessory, and the voltage will remain constant
 at that level. Voltage will be continuously applied to the accessory. For example, a light will remain
 illuminated or a motor will run continuously at your desired voltage.

 In Interactive mode,the voltage level is fixed at the level you set it to. This fixed voltage will only
 be applied to the accessory when you Interact with the accessory. For example, a motor operating
 the rotation on a Gantry crane will not rotate the crane until you press the Boost/Brake keys or turn
 the Red Knob on the CAB-1 remote. Once you press the Boost/Brake keys or turn the Red Knob, the
 motor will rotate at a fixed speed (determined by the voltage) and the crane will rotate.
1. Remove the jumper from the side of the AMC. Refer to Figure 3 on page 7.
2. Press ENG and enter the ID# for Motor Outputs (odd ID#).
 Note! Keep in mind that the MOTOR1 and MOTOR2 outputs are assigned the odd ID#;
           LIGHT1 and LIGHT2 are assigned the even ID#.
3. Control the MOTOR outputs.

7. Replace the Jumper.
 Note! If you have connected a light to any of the outputs, set that output to Constant mode
         only. This will ensure that the light stays on until you turn it off.
Summary
 Note! If your accessory does not function when you are in interactive mode, you may have
         set the voltage too low. Return to Steps 3 and 4 or Steps 6 and 7 (depending on the
         output set) and increase the voltage before setting the output to Interactive mode by
         Pressing the AUX1, 4 keys.
• In Constant mode, operate LIGHT1 and MOTOR1 with the Boost and Brake buttons. Boost
  increases the voltage; brake decreases the voltage. The F and R buttons set the direction
  forward/up and reverse/down, respectively. In Interactive mode, the Boost key is forward/up
  and Brake is reverse/down.
• In Constant mode, operate LIGHT2 and MOTOR2 with the Red Throttle Knob. Turn
  clockwise to increase voltage and counter-clockwise to decrease voltage. Press the DIR
  button to change directions. In Interactive mode, clockwise is forward/up and counter-
  clockwise is reverse/down.
 Note! Pushing the HALT button (the red triangle) on your CAB-1 Remote Controller will
       immediately turn off all outputs on the AMC. Each output can be turned on again after
       the HALT button has been released. Use the HALT button only in emergency situations.

Operating your Accessory Motor Controller
Saving and retrieving your accessory settings

A    fter you have adjusted your accessory’s motors and lights to your desired settings in
     Constant mode, you can save these settings by pressing the SET button on your CAB-1
Remote Controller. Be sure to remove the RUN/PROGRAM JUMPER. Only Constant mode motor
settings are saved in this process.
 Note! Only those outputs that were set to Constand mode will be saved. Interactive mode is
       dependent upon user input and cannot be saved.

 LED      When you press SET, the LED on the AMC unit will flash for one second to indicate
          that the unit was programmed.
   The AMC will remember the last settings and allow you to operate your accessories when you
power up again. If you have made changes after saving your settings, you will need to recall
your saved settings.
   To operate the accessories with your saved settings, use the CAB-1 Remote Controller to
address the accessory by pressing ENG and the ID#, then press the BELL button on the CAB-1
Remote Controller to restore the LIGHT and MOTOR outputs.
 Note! Pressing BELL only restores to setting for the ID# that was addressed at that time. You
       must restore the settings for the LIGHT outputs OR the MOTOR outputs separately.

Making recordings
Making a simple recording

T    hese steps are used to create a simple recording. Use your CAB-1 Remote Controller to enter
     the commands, and the AMC will memorize each command and the time between them.
 Hint!   Plan your recording before you begin. Remember that the AMC memorizes every
         command—including the unintentional ones! If you make a mistake, just start over.
         You can always record over a program.
1. Remove the jumper from the side of the AMC.
2. Press ENG and enter the ID# of the AMC. Either AMC ID# will control the
   same recording.

 LED       When creating a recording, the COM LED blinks on for about one second, then off for
           one second.
3.   Press AUX1, 9 on the numeric keypad to start recording.
4.   Operate the accessory with the AMC unit.
5.   Press ENG and enter the ID# of the AMC to address the recording started
     in Step 1.
7.   Press AUX1, 0 on the numeric keypad to stop recording.
8.   Replace the jumper.

Playing your recording

         to record.
1. Press ENG and enter the ID# of the AMC.
2. Press AUX2 on the CAB-1 Remote Controller to play the recording. Press
   AUX2 again to pause the recording

 LED    The LED flashes once per second, but functions as usual when the AMC receives a
        command.
3. Allow the recording to end on its own. Press AUX1, 0 to discontinue the
   recording at any time during playback.
