Installing a new LCS system with a Legacy Base
To install a new LCS system on a layout with a Legacy Command Base:
1. Turn off power to your layout and Legacy Base
2. Connect the DC wall-pack to the female cable-mount connector of the LCS DB-9 Cable.
3. Connect the DB-9 connector of the LCS DB-9 Cable to your Legacy Command Base.
4. Connect the LCS PDI cable end of the LCS DB-9 Cable to either connector on your LCS device,
such as an LCS WiFi or LCS SensorTrack or any other Layout Control System product.
5. Restore power to your layout and Legacy Base.
6. Plug in the LCS wall-pack power supply.
If using a Legacy command base, it must have software rev 1.52 or higher
installed.
Your system should resemble the figure below.
Once connected and powered-up, the yellow LED on the Legacy Base will blink once every second.
With this setup, you can control Lionel locomotives and Layout Control System products using a
Legacy Remote(s) and optionally CAB-1L remote(s).
If you have additional LCS devices to install, see “Installing additional LCS devices.” If not, skip
ahead to the next section of this manual, “Configuring your LCS Device.”
