Getting Started
The LT-50 is a next-generation NMRA DCC and Märklin/Motorola com
-
mand station featuring full support for NMRA LCC features with a plug-
and-play design, allowing you to get set up and running trains in just a
few minutes.
Setting up the LT-50
Remove all of the parts from the box. Set the bag of parts, LT Panel, and
Fascia Cover Plate aside. Do not connect the power supply yet.
Fascia Board Assembly
1.
Decide how you would like to orient the LT Panel (jacks up or jacks
down). If you have not done so already, drill holes in your fascia to ac
-
cept the LT Panel and cover plate.
Note, a print-able templete can be
downloaded from the LT-50 product page on our website
.
2.
Connect the wires for your DCC track into the detachable 2-pin green
screw terminal block.
3.
Install the fascia cover plate onto the front of the LT Panel using the
two included black machine screws. Flip the cover plate if needed to
match the orientation of the board as mentioned in step 1. The holes
for the screws will only line up when the cover plate is oriented prop-
erly. DO NOT force the screws into the holes.
4.
Connect the detachable 2-pin green screw terminal into the Track
Power output on the LT Panel.
5. Connect the provided power supply to the DC in connector.
6.
Place the completed assembly into your fascia, and secure in place
using the four included black wood screws.
LT-50 Setup
1. Remove the twist tie from the included RJ-45 cable.
2.
Plug one end of the RJ-45 cable into the jack on the LT Panel
labeled with the LT logo.
3. Plug the other end of the RJ-45 cable into the bottom of the LT-50.
If everything is connected properly, the LT-50 handheld will boot up in
approximately 3 seconds, and the Track Power LED should go Green to
indicate that track power is online. At this point, you are ready to place
locomotives on your tracks and run!
