walthers traffic lights stopped working
Posted by jmk3438 on Saturday, January 21, 2012 6:29 PM

Hey guys...i just hooked up two traffic lights by walthers using the walthers controller, so i presume i dont need a resisitor since i belive its already built in.... I have them hooked up to the AC power suppy (19 volts) and my building lights are hooked up to the DC side.   They were working for like 10 minutes and then they stopped working...i checked the connections and everything seems to be fine and coonected properly ....i dont know what happened    any suggestions? 

 

thanks

How many lights did you have on the system?  The controller is spec'd for 2 intersections, which should be 8 traffic lights.

If they all stopped working, I'm guessing that the controller unit is bad.  Call or e-mail Walthers.  They stand by their products, and they'll almost certainly replace it.

It takes an iron man to play with a toy iron horse.
