MODEL TRAIN TECHNOLOGY ™ INTRODUCTION The LED Scene Controller II (LSC II) is a powerful but simple-to- use LED animation controller. 100 behaviors have been preprogrammed so it’s simply a matter of selecting an output port and then assigning a number representing that behavior.

MODEL TRAIN TECHNOLOGY ™ OPERATIONS Use the POWER SELECTOR switch to select your power source. 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.
MODEL TRAIN TECHNOLOGY ™ To switch between Animation mode and Configuration mode, push and hold button the LEFT TOP Keypad On/Off button for about 1 second and release. Pushing this button toggles back and forth between these two modes. The LSC II will not react to a very quick push. If your push is too long the LSC II will switch back and forth.

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.

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.
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.

MODEL TRAIN TECHNOLOGY ™ the device is powered and animation is activated. It doesn’t know what time of day it is. • 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.

If you are connected to DCC, you must press F5 (Animation ON/OFF) to activate the device animation. • TV Simulation works with a White and Blue LED on separate Ports or in Color with a 3 separate Ports connected to an RGB (Red-Green- Blue) LED.

MODEL TRAIN TECHNOLOGY ™ WRITING CVs WITH THE KEYPAD If you don’t have a DCC system, it is still possible to change CV values in the range of 112 to 191 with the keypad. Check the MASTER CV LIST for the specific value you may want to change.
