Power Station LV101
The Power Station receives command information from the
Command Station via terminals C and D. These terminals are
connected to the corresponding terminals on Command Station
LZ100 with a 2-wire cable. To reduce radio interface, these wires
should be twisted (see Figure 1).
When you connect terminal E with the corresponding terminal on
the Command Station LZ100, the Command Station will receive
feedback in case of a Power Station overload. This information
is then passed on to all handheld controllers. The display on
Handheld Controller LH100 will show "OFF" (AUS) followed by
“ON F1” (EIN F1). Once the short or overload is removed, the
system can be restarted by pressing the "F" key followed by the
"1" key and then "Enter".
If you have connected additional Power Stations to the
Command Station, they will turn off their layout sections as well.
You can turn the power supply for the layout back on via the
handheld controller (see LH100 section "Emergency
Stop/Emergency-Off"). A push button switch connecting
terminal D with the command station's terminal E can be located
at strategic places around the layout for emergency power
interruption to all power stations.
If you do not connect the LV101's terminal E with the Command
Station, then an overload will only turn off track power to the
layout section that the LV101 is connected to and the overload
will not affect the command station nor any other power station.
After a certain time (when the Power Station has cooled down
again) the Power Station automatically turns the power supply
back on. If the overload still is present, it will turn off again after
an additional short time.
The output current of the Power Station is limited by an
electronic fuse circuit to approximately 3A.
Six-Pin I/O - Port
The new six-pin phone type jack located on the rear of the
LV101 is provided for future use. Lenz GmbH is planning ahead
for future development. The wire connections for this I/O port are
shown in Figure 4.
