82 Information SET-01
17.2 The LZ100 locomotive database
The LZ100 maintains a database of all locomotives operated. The
database can contain up to 256 entries. Each time you enter a new
locomotive address and provide speed or function information the
locomotive is added to the database. If you exceed the 256
locomotive limit the LZ100 will initiate an error message. If this
occurs you will need to go through the database and remove
unneeded locomotives. Removing a locomotive from the database
will remove all knowledge of the locomotive from the system. To
remove locomotives from the LZ100 database see page (ðp.71 ).
17.3 LZ100 Reset
In the rare event that you desire to return the LZ100 to its factory
default condition you can perform a LZ100 Reset. To do this call up
locomotive 00 on the display of any handheld. Press locomotive
function 4 a minimum of 20 times. After about 30 seconds the
handheld will appear to lock up as communication from the
command station has ended. At this point in time you need to
power down your LZ100. The first time you re-power the system
you will receive an "ERR 97" on the display. This is normal.
Remove power from the LZ100, wait 5 seconds and reapply power.
Your system should now be functioning properly.
17.4 Selecting suitable transformers for Set-01
It is important that to select suitable transformers for powering your
Set-01. You need two transformers to properly operate your system.
One transformer is for the LZ100 and a separate transformer for
each LV101. While you can use a single transformer for both the
LZ100 and the LV101, bests results are achieved using two
separate transformers.
FF For the LZ100 we recommend the Lenz UL approved TR16
transformer. This transformer provides 16VA of power at 14 volts.
To power your LV101 you will need a transformer that delivers
between 14 and 16V AC for H0 and smaller scales. Voltage that
exceed this is wasted in excess heat which reduces the effective
capacity of the unit. In order to make it possible for the LV101 power
station to deliver the complete 52 volt amps, the transformer also
has to be able to deliver a amperage of at least 4A (64 VA). You can
use a transformer that delivers less current, but then you will not be
able to operate as many trains. The permitted maximum and
effective starting voltage of transformers must not exceed 18V AC
voltage or DC voltage.
