LZV100 Command/Power Station 9
4.1 LZV100 Command Station
The LZV100 has four components built in: a command station, a
power station (booster), a RailCom component, and a layout
feedback component.
4.1.1 LZV100 Comand Station Component
The core of the LZV100 is its Command Station. The LZV100
coordinates the input devices (Hand Held Controller LH100, etc.)
and is also responsible for data processing. Information is
exchanged between Command Station and input devices via a 4-
wire cable, called XpressNet.
4.1.2 LZV100 Power Station (booster) Component
The LZV100 also includes an powerful internal 5 amp power
station. The LZV100 power station provides clean and safe DCC
power to the track. New circuitry has been developed to reduce
noise, which provides exceptionally clean power to operate your
DCC equipped trains. Safety features include:
• Both short and overload detection that turns off the power to
the track whenever a short or overload condition is detected.
This protects both your trains and the LZV100 electronics.
• Opto-isolation to safely isolate your power station
interface wiring from your track wiring. This eliminates
any possibility for hidden ground loops through your
power station.
• Fail Safe runaway protection is provided by requiring a 7
volt signal on the DCC Control Bus (the C and D wires).
This prevents the LZV100 from accidentally sending out
power to the track when the command station stops
transmitting packets.
• The LZV100 has a fault detection LED located on the front
of the unit. When the power station is in use, the LED on
the front is lit. If the power is on, but no information is
being transmitted over the Power Station Interface
(connections C and D), the LED will flash slowly. The
LED will also flash quickly when the LZV100 has detected
a short or experienced a thermal overload. It will blink
slowly when using the PQ, programming outputs and
double blink. when the power station itself is being
programmed. (
