PowerStation LV200
Important safety instructions
Do not leave your model railway system in operation when
it is not being supervised! If a short-circuit goes unnoticed,
the heat produced causes a risk of fire!
The LV200 is authorised for operation only with a UL or CE
approved transformer such as the
Digital plus by Lenz ®
, TR200,
the Aristo Craft ART-5460 10 amp transformer, or the LGB -
"Jumbo".
The heat produced by the power station in operation is normal.
You must provide sufficient air circulation around the power
station in order to prevent the internal protective system from
reacting prematurely, that is, during normal operation.
No radio interference suppression capacitor may be installed in
the track system. This capacitor is necessary only for the
interference suppression in conventional operation. If used with
the Digital plus by Lenz ® system, however, it would distort the
data format and interfere with the fault-free transmission of data.
A mixed digital operation using overhead lines and track is not
permitted. In such a mode of operation, if the locomotive is sitting
on the track in the wrong direction (which might be the case e.g.
after having driven through a terminal-loop), the installed
locomotive decoder can be destroyed by overvoltage! We
recommend operation using track pick-up, because the reliability
of contact (and therefore the transmission of digital signals to the
locomotive decoder) is substantially greater than it is when
operating with overhead lines.
What is the purpose of the power station LV200?
Together with a suitable model railroad transformer, the LV200
serves to supply current to your model railway.
The power station LV200 can be compared to the amplifier (output
transformer) of stereo equipment: the audio signal produced by the
CD player has to be amplified, otherwise you could not hear
anything coming from the loudspeakers.
