4.1 Command Station LZ100
The core of the system is Command Station LZ100. It co-ordinates
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. The Command Station generates the control signals for
Power Station LV101, which combines them with the necessary
power and sends them to locomotive and accessory decoders.
The Command Station has no boosted output to connect to tracks.
Accordingly it only needs a small transformer 14V AC (15VA),
which could be one you already have from a starter set or supplied
as part number TR16.
4.2 Installing the Command Station
Command Station LZ100 is connected to the AC output of the
transformer with 2 wires at terminals U and V (see Figure 2). For
long term operation you need a separate transformer such as the
TR16.
