17.5.2 Six-pin I/O - port
The six-pin phone type jack located on the rear of the LV101 is not
used with Set-01.
17.5.3 Installation considerations
There must not be a capacitor connected to the track for
interference control. A capacitor is only needed for conventional
operations to prevent radio interference. In DCC operation a
capacitor corrupts the data format and the error free data transfer is
disturbed.
It is normal for the Power Station to get warm during operation.
Ensure sufficient airflow around the Power Station to prevent the
internal safety circuit from activating during normal operations.
Never allow your layout to operate without supervision! If there is an
unnoticed short, the heat build-up could present a fire hazard!
17.5.4 Supplying power to a large model train layout
As in conventionally operated layouts, a sufficient power supply is
prerequisite for the safe function of a digital layout.
Locomotives, interior lights in rolling stock, turnouts, signals etc. all
get their power from the Power Station, along with their commands.
If the devices you have connected to an LV101 together require
more than 52 volt Amps, the safety circuit of the LV101 will activate.
You will have an overload situation as described in the section
"Connecting the Power Station" above.
The current use of your layout is the sum of the following:
• locomotives in operation: depending on scale and load .2 Amps
to 2 Amps. In N-scale, calculate ½ Amp, for H0 scale estimate 1
Amp and for larger scales 2 Amps per locomotive, and you will
normally have some reserves.
• standing locomotives: without lights 1.5mA, with lights
approximately 50mA per light bulb
• rolling stock with lights: per light bulb approximately 50mA
If the output of a single LV101 is not enough to supply the layout,
then divide the layout into several power districts. Additional LV101
units then will supply those areas with approximately 52 VA each
(one LV per power district)
In the supply area of one LV101, the current load of all
simultaneously operating locomotives must not exceed 52 VA
(including the current used for lighting in rolling stock).
