Power Station LV200
General characteristics
∗
The LV200 was developed especially for the increased electric
power requirements of model railways the larger scales (S, O,
Large Scale).
∗
The LV200 is not suitable for operation with HO or smaller
scales.

- Page 2 This capacitor is necessary only for the interference suppression in conventional operation. If used with the Digital plus by Lenz ® system, however, it would distort the data format and interfere with the fault-free transmission of data.
- Page 3 Power Station LV200 The track-signal produced by the LZ100 or LH200 command stations contains the information used by the locomotive decoder and the switch decoder. From this information the decoders learn whether the motor of the locomotive is to rotate fast or slowly, whether the lights are to be switched on or off, and whether the turnout points should be set on "straight ahead"...
- Page 4 PowerStation LV200 The cross-section of the cables of the terminals C, D and E should not be smaller than 26 AGW, for distances of 4m and longer we recommend 24 AGW. The maximum cross- section for these terminals is 16 AGW. When you optionally connect terminal E of the LV200 with terminal E of the LZ100 command station, the command station is informed of the overloading of the power station.

As with conventionally operated systems and layouts, a sufficient supply of electricity to the system is a precondition for the sure and safe functioning of the Digital plus by Lenz ® systems. Locomotives, coach lights, points, signals etc. receive their power and control information from the power station. - Page 8 PowerStation LV200 Running locomotives Depending on size and attached load, the power consumption varies extremely. A small, single LGB- locomotive with one motor can make do with approx. 1.5A of current; a large one with two motors (e.g. Crocodile) reaches peak currents of 4-5A. The maximum current consumption of the motors of locomotives is decisive in the selection of the right decoders! Therefore it is necessary that you measure the current-...
- Page 9 Lenz has chosen to leave the option of the location of the common up to the individual operator. The LV200 is completely opto- isolated.
- Page 10 Connecting a reverse loop Lenz GmbH produces an automatic reversing module (LK100) which can be used to easily wire complex automatic reversing sections. While these units are invaluable in some cases they are not absolutely needed for DCC operations.

Power Station LV200 Using Digital Operation with Overhead Wire A mixed digital operation with overhead line and track is permitted only if overhead line and track line originate from the same power station. On no account may the track be connected to one power station while the overhead line is connected to another. - Page 12 (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
