I am trying to get a 6-14151 mainline dwarf signal to work with a 6-14111 153 IR controller. I have tried the instructions that came with each as they are different and none of the suggested wiring schemes work. 

Anyone tried to make these work together with any success?

Thanks,

I just connected the 153IR to a pair of bulbs (that's all the signal is), to the NO, NC, and the two returns to one of the GND terminal.  I connected 12V to the AUX power A & U terminals, switched the switch to AUX power, and it all worked.

I believe in order to use track power, you have to use the connector on the back that extends out to the track.

Just now got it to work. Instead of hooking the two black wires into ACC GND I put them in ACC PWR and bingo, the green light came on. Then it was just a matter of tuning the sensitivity knob until the signals aspect went to green and then all was fine. 

I have eight of the IR contollers on my layout already and all work fine. I use transformer power directly for some so I can fine tune the power to the older signals with incandescent bulbs. For the rest I use track power. This particular dwarf signal seem to not heat up the bulbs on 18 volts. 

Thanks for all the help guys, I appreciate you and this forum.
