    What is Lionel’s Layout Control System? LCS doesn’t replace your existing Lionel Legacy Control system. It adds to it! You can control your layout from Lionel Cab Remote controllers or from smart devices like an Apple iPad and run locomotives, operate track switches, accessories and lighting. Create automatic events to control passing locomotives and other layout accessories or switches.

    LCS component, please skip ahead to the next section titled “Installing additional LCS devices.” When installing a new LCS system, the process you will follow depends on which (if any) Lionel Command Base is to be connected to your LCS system. Following sections describe starting a new LCS installation with a Legacy Base, a Base-1L or without any command base.

    Figure 4. Installing a new LCS system with a LEGACY Base Once connected and powered-up, the yellow LED on the Legacy Base will blink once every second. With this setup, you can control Lionel locomotives and Layout Control System products using a Legacy Remote(s) and optionally CAB-1L remote(s).

    Installing Your First LCS Device Installing LCS with Legacy AND TrainMaster Command Bases he following instructions apply ONLY if you are using one or more original CAB-1 remotes with a Legacy command base. It is not necessary to follow these instructions to use the CAB-1L remote with a Legacy command base.
  • Page 9 Once connected and powered-up, the yellow LED on the Legacy Base will blink once every second. With this setup, you can control Lionel locomotives and Layout Control System products using any combination of LEGACY Remotes, CAB-1L remotes and original CAB-1 remotes.

    “A” and “U” as shown in Figure 9 below. If your installation includes more than one CSM2, they can share the same accessory transformer as long as the combined current draw of the relays does not exceed the capacity of the accessory transformer (see specifications, electrical at the end of this document).

  • Page 14: Wiring The Dz-2500 Switch Machine To The Csm2

    CSM2 provides the TMCC serial data to the DZ-2500 switch machine so that the machine can be controlled from a Lionel CAB remote or the LCS App. Note that the CSM2 does not provide power to the switch machines, it simply throws them. The CSM2 can also monitor the throw position of up to 7 DZ-2500s.

    Service (Part number 1908010). The Breakout Board offers many advantages over installing the DZ-2500 switch machines directly to the CSM2. See figure 13 on page 18. • Ease of wiring – The DZ-2500 hooks right into the Breakout Board using a simple push button connector, so adding or removing only takes seconds.

    2. Press and hold the CSM2 PGM button for 1 second. The red LED will begin blinking slowly. 3. On your Lionel CAB remote, press SW (Switch addressing). 4. Enter the desired 1 or 2 digit base address for your CSM2. This should match the TMCC ID of the DZ-2500 connected to switch-sense screw terminal #1.

    Track power should be connected to the terminals on the CSM2. Refer to Figure 8 on page 12, letter B. The label “Block” shows which terminals correspond to power blocks 1 through 4. These blocks share a common connection.

  • Page 29: Wiring For All 4 Power Blocks To A Single Transformer

    CSM2, refer to the wiring diagram below. The Power “A” terminal from the track power transformer must be connected to the COMM terminal on the CSM2. Your track power transformer must have sufficient capacity to operate the combined current draw of all operating locomotives on all active track power blocks.

  • Page 30: Controlling Tracks Wired To The Csm2

    For example, assume your CSM2 has a TMCC base address of “1”. If you would like to operate the block wired to the third terminal of the CSM2, you need to press TR (or ACC), 3 on your CAB remote controller. Then operate that block using Aux1 or Aux2.
