INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the HELJAN Container Terminal. The crane is digitally controlled, but
don’t be frightened as the operation is simple and no specific experience with digital systems is
needed to achieve full enjoyment of the crane. The basic model consists of the complete crane,
control unit and two containers. One control unit can control up to three cranes. The basic model
measures 33 x 57 cm, but it can be extended with further base elements limited only by power loss
and your space! Additional containers can be purchased seperately.
BEFORE YOU START!
Please be careful when unpacking. Start with the base elements that are placed in the special
packaging at the bottom of the box. Do not unpack the crane until you have assembled the base
element and installed the tracks where you want to place them.
ASSEMBLING THE BASE ELEMENT
The base element consists of eight parts, 2 x 2 end sections and 2 x 2 central sections. The lower
parts are assembled with the supplied fittings. Mount the base element on to your baseboard. Use a
1.5 mm drill to make the holes in your baseboard, the holes have been drilled in the lower parts and
screws are supplied. This is shown on photo 1 where you can also see how to connect the railway
track to your layout.
INSTALLING THE TRACKS
Two OO scale tracks are included but you can install up to five tracks, four beneath the crane and
one next to it (additional tracks can be purchased as accessories).
You can
also install wires for the FALLER Car-system, please refer to FALLER’s instructions.
FITTING THE GANTRY AND TROLLEY
Carefully remove the trolley and the gantry from the packaging. Place the gantry on its base rails
and the trolley on the gantry rails. All that remains prior to commencing container terminal
operation is to connect it to the control unit and the power supply.
When you have decided where
you wish to place the tracks offer them to the two central lower parts. Take the upper part to one of
the lower parts where you want to install the track, and turn it over. On this side there are grooves
that enable you to cut out the piece that fits the track (see Photo 2). Don’t forget to connect the rails
with the rail connectors as supplied, which can also be used to connect the tracks with lines to the
power pack. Having done this the upper parts can be fitted to the lower parts of the base.

The control unit is the core or the brain of the container terminal. Apart from controlling all
functions of the crane, you can also adjust the speed with this unit. There are four connections: one
for the power pack, one to the crane, one to a joystick and one for a PC. In the next section the use of
the crane with the control unit will be explained. For use of Joystick and PC-connection please see
our home page (www.heljan.dk). Prior to turning on the power please note these important points:
!All connections must be made before turning on the power.
!If operating with a joystick do not move the joystick during the start up phase, as this may cause a
malfunction.
!If you unplug the joystick while still in use it will cause interruption to the signal.
As soon as the power is turned on and the display shows ‘HELJAN’ the control unit is ready for use.
If you connect a joystick it will be identified and calibrated during the start up phase.The joystick
cannot be identified in the display during use.
YOU ARE NOW READY FOR OPERATION!
POWER SUPPLY
You can use either AC or DC power packs. The voltage should be 14-16 V, 2,5 A. Connect the control
unit to your power pack and the crane tracks (see below). Do not turn on the power until you have
read the next paragraph!
