LGB Jumbo 50101 Jumper
Posted by Anonymous on Wednesday, June 27, 2007 7:50 PM

I am new to forums so I hope I am in the right area. I have a LGB Jumbo 50101 transformer and was using the remote control. The remote is no longer needed so I disconnected it but neglected to save the jumper that was necessary to make the Jumbo work without the remote. Does anyone know what the jumper is connected to or where I can locate one?

The connector is a standard RS232 9 pin.  In the US, you can get this part from Radio Shack.

 

I believe the jumper goes between pins 1 and 5, need to verify this.

I know this thread is old, but I am in the same boat as the OP.   Over the years, I seem to have lost that required jumper that gets plugged into the back when not using a remote.

Has anyone confirmed that the only connections required in the 9-pin connector, is between pins 1 and 5?

Thanks, Stourbridge Lion

Does anyone out there still have a Jumbo 50101 and a VOM, such that they could please check which pins are connected to which pins on the jumper itself?

BTW, I checked, and it appears to not be just one connection between pins 1 and 5.    Oops - Sign
