- Page 6 MODEL TRAIN TECHNOLOGY ™ INTRODUCTION The LED Scene Controller II (LSC II) is a powerful but simple-to- use LED animation controller. 100 Quick Set behaviors have been preprogrammed so it’s simply a matter of selecting an output port and then assigning a number representing that behavior.
- Page 7 MODEL TRAIN TECHNOLOGY ™ by setting the maximum brightness. This allows you to mix and match 3.3v and 12v LED on the same LSC II. We’ve enclosed the LSC II inside a sleek case and designed the base of the unit with matching bracket (sold separately) that allows you to snap the unit in place anywhere around your layout.
- Page 8 MODEL TRAIN TECHNOLOGY ™ The LED Scene Controller has a DCC onboard decoder that allows you to both configure and control your lights remotely. There are two types of decoder in the DCC eco-system: Multifunction decoders and Accessory decoders. The LSC II can operate as either of these which gives you great flexibility in how you want to set up your lighting.
- Page 9 MODEL TRAIN TECHNOLOGY ™ OVERVIEW 1. POWERING the LSC II (12-25V DC or AC, 1A) Note: While our LSCI MICRO board allows you to power the board and LEDs via your DCC system, the LSC II with Keypad requires an external power supply to operate.
- Page 10 MODEL TRAIN TECHNOLOGY ™ OPERATIONS To turn on the LSC II, slide the right-hand slide POWER ON/OFF switch to the RIGHT. The blue LED on the top of the case will turn on. The 4-number LEDs may flash or have on odd segment lit but after 2 seconds you will see “...
- Page 11 MODEL TRAIN TECHNOLOGY ™ If you never plan to use DCC with your LSC II, you can ignore the first two number indications. You can also disable this start up sequence by set FastBoot ON. The LSC II has two modes. It is either in Animation Mode or Configuration Mode.

Page 12: Adjusting The Led Brightness
MODEL TRAIN TECHNOLOGY ™ You can change the setting as many times as you want. Remember to press Save. To see the behavior, switch back to Animation mode. ADJUSTING THE LED BRIGHTNESS: To adjust the brightness of any Port, switch the LSC II into Configuration mode. - Page 13 MODEL TRAIN TECHNOLOGY ™ Press the SAVE button to save the new setting. If you don't press Save and you change ports or switch modes, the LSC II will revert to the previously saved setting. To switch out of adjusting the brightness, press the Right-side button once more.
- Page 14 MODEL TRAIN TECHNOLOGY ™ CONNECTING LEDs The LSC II has 16 Ports, labeled counterclockwise as viewed from the top of the LSC II. You can use the ports in any order.
- Page 15 MODEL TRAIN TECHNOLOGY ™ CONFIGUREING THE LSC II for Special Effects We suggest you start with some basic setting so you can quickly become familiar with how the LSC II works. Let’s start with what we call “singles”. Most of the special effects are grouped into TENs with the first digit representing the basic FX.

Page 17: Other Notes
MODEL TRAIN TECHNOLOGY ™ OTHER NOTES: • Some FX work with several ports in unison. Step, Chase, Race and TV sim work this way by design. But you can also mix effects on different ports. For example, you might use an Arc Welding FX with a flicker effect on a red LED to simulate the hot metal. - Page 18 MODEL TRAIN TECHNOLOGY ™ • Fade = 50. If you set a port to Fade using the preprogrammed value of 50, it will disable the Fade timer for that pin but set the pin to fade on command. This allows you to have a Fade effect on ports that you control only via DCC.
- Page 19 USING SWITCHES AND FUNCTION KEYS TO SIMULTATE TRIGGERS The LSC IIa will let you set triggers so that a port only displays when its trigger is tripped or “active”. You can assign any valid switch address within the 16 addresses starting with the first address set for the LSC-IIa.
- Page 20 MODEL TRAIN TECHNOLOGY ™ the trigger is tripped. A port set to respond to triggers will stay on (animating) as long as the function key is set to on. You can change the duration of the Trigger Timeout as described below.
- Page 21 Press SAVE to write the new CV value. To exit the CV mode, press the Keypad On/Off button. SETTING THE DCC ADDRESS OF THE LSC IIa 1. Press the Green button to enter configuration mode. 2. Press and hold the WHITE button for 8-10 seconds.
- Page 22 DCC Hand controller to the new address you assigned. For Accessory mode it doesn’t matter. In Accessory mode the address of the LSC IIa is always the first Trigger. FAST BOOT: CV50 When the LSC IIa starts up it displays three sets of numbers. First it shows which decoder type it is set to, then the DCC address and then 1234 to show all is working.
- Page 23 We’ll use eight sequential addresses to trigger each of the eight Trigger ports. When the LSC IIa boots up with power it has to pick one or the other mode to operate in. When you change the Decoder Type CV47, when you switch back to Animate mode the display will show the active type either 1111 or 2222.
