Installing LCS with Legacy AND TrainMaster Command Bases
T
he following instructions apply ONLY if you are using one or more original CAB-1 remotes with
a Legacy command base. It is not necessary to follow these instructions to use the CAB-1L remote
with a Legacy command base.
In order to complete this installation, you will need a CAB-1 remote, an original TMCC
Trainmaster command base, a Legacy Command Base with Legacy CAB-2 remote and the Legacy
serial Y cable (included with the Legacy command base).
This is the ONLY supported application for the Legacy Y cable. The “Command base”
end of the Legacy Serial Y cable cannot be directly connected to accessory other than the
original TMCC TrainMaster command base.

Command Base and a Legacy Serial Y Cable:
1. Turn off power to your layout, Legacy Base and TMCC TrainMaster command 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 Legacy Serial Y cable to your Legacy Command Base.
4. Connect the “Command Base” end of the Legacy Y cable to the DB-9 connector of your TMCC
Trainmaster Command Base.
5. Connect the DB-9 end of the LCS DB-9 Cable to the “Serial Comm” connector of the Legacy Y
cable.
6. Connect the LCS PDI cable end of the LCS DB-9 Cable the either connector on your LCS device,
such as an LCS WiFi or LCS SensorTrack or any other Layout Control System product.
