You can also order almost all locomotives and train sets in our delivery program in DCC or Selectrix Digital. Since both locomotives and decoders are always sufficiently in stock, the conversion time is usually less than 2 working days.
In den 50er Jahren suchte die DB nach neuen Geschäftsfeldern. Aufgrund der veränderten politischen Rahmenbedingungen war das Land zu einem Nord-Süd Gebilde gewachsen, wo auch die Verkehre neu geordnet werden mussten. Hinzu kam noch …
If you need more power. The successor of the LV102 is also designed to meet the safety requirements and conditions for operating the model railway. If necessary, the track voltage and output current can be individually adapted to the conditions and set, the maximum current provided is 5 amperes. The LV103
- is prepared for RailCom operation - has an integrated global RailCom detector
Technical specifications:
- Power supply (input voltage): with AC voltage: min. 14 volts, max. 19 volts. with pure DC voltage: min: 14 volts, max. 24 Volt It makes sense to select an input voltage that is approximately 2 V higher when supplied with DC voltage, approximately equal to or slightly smaller when supplying AC voltage than the set output voltage (voltage at the track). This avoids unnecessary waste heat in the device, which can lead to premature thermal shutdown.
- Output voltage (track voltage): The track voltage is adjustable between 11V and 22V in increments of 0.5V. Under load, this voltage may be lower depending on the transformer used. By default, an output voltage of 16 V is set.
- Output current: Depending on the transformer used, its voltage and the set track voltage, the continuous current that the LZV200 amplifier can deliver is different. Example: With transformer TR150 and setting the track voltage to 16 V, the continuous current is 4.3 A.
- Overload protection: Thermal overload protection. The overcurrent shutdown takes place after approx. 200 ms with permanent overcurrent (eg short circuit).
- RailCom detector: The LV103 is equipped with a global RailCom detector. This detector receives data sent by decoders in channel 2 of the RailCom packets. These data are forwarded via the C, D, E lines to the LZV200 control center.
How much power do you need? The power requirement of a model railway system depends on the power consumption of all moving locomotives, the switched-on locomotive functions, the lighting of the car as well as functional models such as cranes etc. If the power of the LZV100 / LZV200 is not sufficient to supply all consumers safely, the track layout is divided into several Supply sections, each powered by its own amplifier. The size of these service areas must be sized so that no area needs more power than the connected amplifier can deliver. The control signals are received by the additional amplifiers from terminals C and D of the LZV100 / LZV200. Each amplifier requires its own power supply transformer, which must withstand the respective maximum current in continuous operation. The amplifier may be operated with an AC voltage of up to 18 V or a DC voltage of up to 24 V.
Determination of the required amplifiers Form the sum of the current consumption of all simultaneously running locomotives and the illuminated wagons. For example:
6 locomotives with a current consumption of 0.7 A each plus 40 bulbs with a current consumption of 0.05 A each in illuminated wagons result in a total current consumption of 6.2 A. Divide this total current consumption by the maximum current which an amplifier can deliver. and you get the number of service areas.
