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.
4Wiring your Accessory Motor Controller
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

5Wiring 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.
6Operating 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.

7Operating 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#.
