FCC Statement
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined
by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one
or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver
is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Warning! Changes or modifications not expressively approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. The term
“IC” before the radio certification number only signifies that Industry Canada
technical specifications were met.

Warning! When using electrical products, follow these basic safety precautions:
• Read these instructions thoroughly before using this device.
• The PowerMaster Bridge is not recommended for children under fourteen years of age.
• Parents should periodically inspect the PowerMaster Bridge for potential hazards and have

• The PowerMaster Bridge is intended to be used indoors. Do not use the PowerMaster Bridge
if water is present. Serious or fatal injuries may result.
• Do not use the PowerMaster Bridge for anything other than its intended purpose. This unit

Introduction to the PowerMaster Bridge
he #996 PowerMaster Bridge provides a bridge between the LEGACY Control System
transmitting at 2.4 GHz and the TrainMaster Command Control system which transmits at
27 MHz. The PowerMaster Bridge provides this bridge by accepting a serial stream of data from
the LEGACY Control System and trasmitting the data on 27 MH. Using the LEGACY Control
System with the PowerMaster Bridge and PowerMaster (PM-1) module(s), you are now able
to use the LEGACY Control System CAB-2 remote controller to control both newer trains and
older trains. Before the introduction of the PowerMaster Bridge it would have required the use
of the LEGACY Control System CAB-2 remote controller to control the newer trains and the
TrainMaster Command Control CAB-1 remote controller to control the older trains using a
PowerMaster (PM-1) module(s). The PowerMaster Bridge only transmits 27 MHz when there is
serial data supplied to be transmitted.
The operation of the PowerMaster Bridge allows you to control the voltage on a section of
track by using a PowerMaster (PM-1) module. To simulate the track voltage a light can be
attached to the output of the Power Master (PM-1) module. By addressing the PowerMaster
(PM-1) module a hand controller unit would be able to change the brightness of the light
attached to the module output.
Connecting your PowerMaster Bridge to the Lionel Legacy Control
System
he “Y” cord that comes with your Lionel Legacy Control System makes it possible to use the
PowerMaster Bridge with the Legacy Control System. Follow the steps below and refer to figure 1
to connect the PowerMaster Bridge to the Legacy Control System.
1. Use the “Y” cable that comes with your Lionel Legacy Control System to connect the PowerMaster
Bridge to the Legacy Command Base/Charger.
2. Plug the wallpack power cable into the PowerMaster Bridge.
3. Plug the wallpack into a standard wall outlet. The green light on the top of the PowerMaster
Bridge will illuminate.
You are now able to vary track voltage, change locomotive direction, adjust speed, and control
sounds with your CAB-2 remote controller. The red communication light on the top of the
PowerMaster Bridge will flicker when receiving data commands from the Legacy System when
connected to the “Y” cord as shown in figure 1.
Note!
Do not use the PowerMaster Bridge wallpack to power any other device.

Troubleshooting Guide
My PowerMaster Bridge comm. light flickers but does not control my PowerMaster
with my CAB2 controller?
• Make sure that the track address is not assigned to a lash-up.
• Make sure that your PowerMaster’s track address is the same as the desired address being
used.
• Make sure that your PowerMaster is not using a alternate frequency other then the stock
crystal that it is sold with.
My PowerMaster Bridge power light does not light up?
• Check and see if the power jack is fully inserted into the PowerMaster Bridge.
• Make Sure that the Transformer is plugged fully into the outlet socket.
• If using a power strip make sure that the power strip is turned on or the trip circuit does
not need resetting.
My PowerMaster Bridge power light is on but the comm. light does not flicker?
• Make sure that the Y cord is fully inserted into the Legacy base and the PowerMaster
Bridge.
• Make sure that the Legacy Command Base/Charger is plugged in and power is on.
• Make sure you are using the Cab 2 controller and not the Cab -1 controller.
