Setup and Programming Instructions
Bachmann Trains is pleased to bring you E-Z ommand.
Lenz Electronik, E-Z ommand allows you to digitally control the speed, lighting, sound, and direction of several locomotives
independently of each other. But unlike other DCC systems, E-Z ommand simplifies the programming process with one-button main
track programming. Other features include 28 speed steps for smooth operation and plug-in wiring for simple set up. E-Z ommand
will operate DCC-equipped locomotives from many manufacturers and offers many of the features previously found only on more
expensive digital systems. Best of all, E-Z ommand has plug-and-play compatibility with all DC and NMR -compliant DCC
systems.
Your E-Z ommand Digital Command Control System consists of the following components (figure 1):
.
E-Z ommand Control Center
.
Wall Pack Power Supply
.
1 Red E-Z Track
®
Track Power Wire
.
1 Red Universal Track Power Wire
.
1 Black Interconnecting Power Cable (for use in combination with a DC speed controller)
With its unique plug-and-play capability, E-Z ommand is easy to set up and use, whether you're operating an existing model railroad
or setting up a new layout. To ensure trouble-free operation, however, we recommend that you read this manual completely before
operating your system for the first time.
NOTE: DO NOT CONNECT THE E-Z COMM ND CONTROL CENTER TO THE WALL PACK POWER SUPPLY UNTIL
YOU HAVE MADE THE CONNECTIONS FROM THE CONTROL CENTER TO YOUR TRACK.

If you are using Bachmann’s E-Z Track system, plug the red E-Z Track Track Power Wire into the socket on the back of the E-Z ommand Control Center labeled “TO TR CK” (figure 2) and plug the other end into any standard E-Z Track terminal rerailer (figure 3).
- Page 3 PROGRAMMING A LOCOMOTIVE TO A SPECIFIC ADDRESS Your E-Z ommand Control Center features ten programmable control buttons or “addresses.” By default, most new DCC-equipped locomotives are factory-programmed to respond to commands on address 3. To program your locomotive to another address, activate the locomotive by running it a short distance. Next, press and hold down button 3, the locomotive’s default address (figure 9) ND THEN T THE S ME TIME, press the “Stop”...

- Page 5 With E-Z ommand, you can also simulate a real railroading practice called “consisting.” Place two or more DCC-equipped locomotives on your layout (as shown in figure 14, for example). Next, simply assign the locomotives to the same address according to the instructions described in the “Programming a Locomotive to a Specific ddress”...
- Page 6 ON DCC SYSTEMS. Using the black interconnecting power cable provided, you can also connect a Bachmann DC controller to your E-Z ommand Control Center as shown in figure 18. When connected, address 10 automatically converts from its original DC (analog) assignment to DCC (digital).
- Page 7 Never use an electronic track cleaner near your E-Z Command system. Only plug a Bachmann E-Z Command device, or other device specifically approved by Bachmann, into the I/O port shown in figure 20. Other devices may have the same connector but are not necessarily compatible.
