Information LZV200
11 Conventional locomotives and
Digital plus by Lenz
®
The
Digital plus by Lenz
®
system also features a control facility for
conventional locomotives (locomotives without a decoder). You call up
a conventional locomotive in the same way as if you were calling up a
digital one. Enter address '0' in the manual control. Control the
locomotive as if it had a locomotive decoder installed. The
conventional locomotive does not have a starting and braking delay in
the
Digital plus by Lenz
®
system. The lighting of the conventional
locomotive (if installed) is switched on at all times. If you placed
several conventional locomotives on the track, all of them would
behave the same. Independent controlling of these locomotives is not
possible.
WARNING!
Conventional locomotives placed on
Digital plus by Lenz
®
layouts will
produce a whistling tone. This is normal due to a continuous rapidly
alternating voltage on the track and in the motor of conventional
locomotives.
This type of voltage is not suitable for locomotives with bell type
armature motors such as Faulhaber high-efficiency motors.
Locomotives with these types of motors must only be operated on
digital layouts with locomotive decoders. Without locomotive
decoders, these motors would be damaged or destroyed within a
short period of time due to overheating. There are a few types of
motors which are subject to the same restrictions as the bell type
armature motors. If in doubt, ask the manufacturer of the locomotive.
12 Replacing the battery
The memory of the LZV200 is buffered with a battery (type CR2450)
in order to secure the receipt of the managed data. If the message
"ERR 97" is displayed on a connected handset controller, the battery
must be replaced.
To replace the battery, unscrew the front panel of the LZV200. The
battery is located on the upper circuit board of the device.
