Accessory decoder LS150 5
tracks etc.) can be connected to a LS150 and controlled
individually.
Pulse Duration
Having received a turnout command for an output, this output will
be switched on. It will remain so as long as the turnout command
is being sent. Afterwards the output will remain switched on until
the set pulse duration expires.
The pulse duration of the outputs can be set individually from 0.1
seconds to 10 seconds. This makes it possible to adjust the pulse
duration to the needs of the switch machine used. A pulse of 0.1
seconds is adequate for a normal twin-coil snap action switch
machine while a pulse duration of 3-4 seconds is normally needed
for a slow motion switch machine.
Overload protection
The outputs have a joint protection mechanism against overload. If
the permissible maximum power is exceeded, the LS150 will
switch off the terminal ("+" or "-" of an output) which experienced
the short-circuit. You can tell that a blocked status is existent by
the fact that the LED does not shine although a command was
received for this output. The corresponding terminal and all other
outputs still function! The short-circuited terminal can only be
reactivated by switching of the AC power supply.
Voltage on the outputs
AC voltage is applied to the outputs; this is a particularly
advantageous form of voltage for the use of the LS150 with twin-
coil switch machines and semaphore signal drives as well as
relays.
For technical reasons, the device connected to the
output must have a power consumption of at least
10mA.. This is not a problem with almost all customary
switch machines used for model railroads. If in doubt,
please contact the manufacturer.
