The LV103 can accept the following input voltages: See the for further details and source information.
* AC: 14-19V
** When using AC input power, select a power supply that is about the same or very slightly lower than the DCC output voltage.
* DC: 14-24V
** When using DC input power, select a power supply that is 2 to 3 volts.
Using the suggested input power help limit the heat generated when this device is regulating it's output voltage, which can range from 11-22 volts in 0.5v steps.
LZV100

==Description==
The Ground and R & S terminals on the LZV100 provide for logic, detection, and feedback from LR101s, LS100s , LB101s if those capabilities are implemented in your DCC system.
The C & D terminals on the LZV100 transmit the DCC signal to other LV power units connected to a system via the C & D terminals on those units.
The E terminal on the LV100/101/102 boosters transmits a power interrupted logical signal to the Command Station section of the LZV100 when there is a short on the outputs (J & K terminals) of an LV series booster. Short circuit detection/shutdown is internal to the LZV100 for power districts connected to its J & K terminals.

Lenz/LW100

Category:Lenz
The Lenz DIGITAL plus System can control 256 turnouts, signals or other devices with the aid of accessory decoders. Each device to be controlled via its number, or address.
The LW100 Tower Cab enables direct access to these devices without entering the decoder's address, by pressing a key. A group of 16 addresses at a time is directly reachable with the 32 keys on LW100. 
Early models only had German language prompts, Lenz promised a software update which would add English prompts. As the device is obsolete, getting an update may be an issue. The LW100 was released in 1997.
== LW100 Tower Cab ==
The LW100 Tower Cab is a purpose specific device for controlling accessory decoders. It also supports routing.
Routes and other settings are maintained when th e power is turned off.
The LW100 in combination with the LI100 can also be used in automating train movements on your layout.
If other addresses need to be reached, simply change the group.
=== Operation ===
Pressing a red or green key caused the turnout to change alignment of the switch rails.
Sixteen keys were available, further control of up to 256 devices required the use of groups. Pressing an arrow key moved from one group to another. Pressing the G key and one of the turnout keys would jump to that group.
==== Feedback ====
The display can indicate turnout alignment. The value displayed may not be correct if the turnout was thrown by other means. Stationary decoders with feedback will update the display.
==== Emergency Stop ====
An emergency stop command can be sent if required. Turnout and signal control is still possible, and the rails remain energized.
A stop function stops everything and power is removed from the rails.
=== XpressNet ===
The LW100 is an XpressNet device. The factory default address is 29. It can be changed.
Lenz/Multifunction Decoders

Lenz offers only silent (i.e., no sound) multifunction decoders. Their Gold Line is their most expensive and full-featured decoders; the Silver Line represents their "value" line. The recent upgrade to system 3.6 has permitted more commands to be processed through the throttle to the decoder.

Lenz/Power Stations

== Lenz LV Series Power Station ==
LenzLV102.jpg|Lenz LV102 Booster
=== Power Station LV100 ===
Three amp booster
=== LV101 ===
5A booster
* Eight user settable DCC track voltages allow the user to customize the operation of the LV101 to their individual needs, a fault detection LED to assist in troubleshooting problems, and a RJ-45 plug-in I/O port. This I/O port is provided for use with Set-02 or for providing additional XpressNet power.
* Opto-isolation to safely isolate your power station interface wiring from your track wiring. This eliminates any possibility for hidden ground loops through your power station.
* Fail Safe runaway protection is provided by requiring a 7 volt signal on the DCC Control Bus (the C and D wires). This prevents the LV101 from accidentally sending out power to the track when the command station stops transmitting packets.
=== LV102 ===
Five amp booster, supersedes previous models.
The LV102 provides five (5) amps of track power. Its primary use is to assist operators in providing sufficient power to large layouts or for larger equipment (Gauges O and higher (U.S.)). For large layouts, the layout is divided into power districts, each powered by a booster. The Command Station provides the DCC signal for operation; the booster provides power and transmits the Command Station signal. The throttle connects the user to the command station which sends the desired signal to the locomotive or auxiliary equipment the user desires to operate.
The LV102 uses the Opto-isolated (Current) Interface and consumes 10ma on the Power Station Interface.
==== LV102 Features ====
# 9,999 addresses supported
# 28 functions
# Speed steps: 28/128
# Consisting
# RailCom
# Programming
## Program on Main
## Program Track
Dimensions: 120 X 55 X120 mm
Updates by USB stick
=== LV103 ===
The LV103 (released June 2019, replaces the LV102) is a 5A multi-scale DCC Booster. It includes an integrated RailCom detector. Depending on the power supply, it can deliver up to 22V at 5A to the track. Voltage can be adjusted from 11V to 22V in half volt increments.
Output:
* Depends on the power supply used:
** 11 to 22V
*** 0.5V Increment adjustment range
** 5A
== Compatibility with other DCC Boosters ==
it is possible to drive a Digitrax booster using an LV100 by making a LocoNet cable, and connecting the RAIL SYNC wires (Blue and white) to the C and D terminals. Connect the white wire to C and the blue to D. Cut the other wires short and insulate them. For details see the Big Book of DCC published by Digitrax, and available by print on demand from Amazon.
== Booster Phasing ==
Per NMRA RP-9.1.2, the K terminal output and D terminal input represent the DCC phase.

Lenz LH90.jpg|Lenz Engineer Throttle LH90
LenzLH100.jpg|Lenz Dispatcher throttle LH100
LENZ LH101.jpg|LenzDispatcher throttle LH101
Lenz offers the LH100 and LH101 (Dispatcher Throttles) and the LH90 (Engineer Throttle). The former is entirely push button with a full numeric key pad. It generally makes operating multiple locomotives relatively easy. The latter is a dial control with a limited function key pad. While all functions can be accessed from the latter, the LH100 tends to be more intuitive. The LH90 tends to be a better single locomotive controller, although this would vary from user to user. Those persons used to dial throttles (such as most standard Direct Current models) will generally find the LH90 preferable, particularly if only lights, sounds and direction are to be controlled by the operator. If more sophisticated function programming has been performed on the locomotive or auxiliary decoder, the LH100/LH101 might be preferred.
Both of these throttles are Tethered (i.e., wired). They use XPressNet, which is compatible other Lenz OEM DCC systems such as Atlas and Roco. Lenz has a unique wireless system which uses a device called XPA which permits a wireless phone handset to operate as a throttle, and it would operate similarly to the LH100 because of its full numeric key pad.
===CVP Products ALR900 Wireless Throttle Receiver===
*Supports Up To 8 Wireless Throttles
With the ALR900 Wireless Receiver, CVP Products' wireless throttles can be used with any Lenz DCC system. The ALR900 plugs into the ExpressNET throttle.

Lighting Effects

Category:Terms
Category:Decoder
This article deals with the use of lighting effects available with a multifunction decoder.
== Locomotive Lighting==
These effects include headlights, ditch lights, class and other lighting a locomotive would have.
=== Types of Lighting ===
There are a number of different types of lights and lighting effects used.
Effects can include:
* Gyralite
* FRED 
* Random Flicker 
* Rotary Beacon 
* Flashing Headlight 
* Mars Light 
* Blinking Ditch Lights
* Single and Double-Pulse Strobe 
* Rule 17 Dimmable Headlight
===Multifunction Decoder Features===
The features available depend on the decoder in use. Some have more auxiliary outputs that can be used for lighting than others.
Digitrax calls theirs FX Lighting. Soundtraxx uses the term Hyperlight.
====Soundtraxx Hyperlight Effects====
SoundTraxx’s Tsunami features 14 different Hyperlight lighting effects.
* On-Off headlight 
* Dimmable headlight, 
* Mars light and 
* Firebox flicker. It can also be used for exhaust flicker in a diesel. 
The “Dyno-Light” simulates the ramping up of the dynamo, so brightness gradually increases. Another Hyperlight feature is LED Brightness Correction. LEDs don't work like a filament lamp; they are on or off instantly. The Tsunami decoder can be set to make LED lighting look more realistic. It also provides directional or Rule 17 lighting control, grade crossing timers and an adjustable flash rate.

==Lionel Command Control Systems==
===Legacy Control System===
Legacy Control System (Legacy) is Lionel's current electronic control system. It was introduced as a successor to Lionel's Trainmaster Command Control (TMCC) in December, 2007. Legacy is backward compatible with all TMCC decoder equipped engines. Models with Legacy sound decoders and/or Odyssey II speed control can be operated with earlier TMCC control systems but also have addition features only accessible with Legacy. The command codes for these additional features differ from the DCC command codes. Lionel has not published or licensed access to the Legacy specific command codes.
===Trainmaster Command Control (TMCC)===
Lionel's original command control system. It was introduced exclusively in Lionel trains in 1995. Beginning in 2000, Lionel offered licenses to other manufacturers. Licensees that formerly or currently install TMCC decoders in their models include Atlas O, K-Line, Weaver, and Sunset Models 3rd Rail Division. Licensees that formerly or currently offer decoders include Train America Studios, Digital Dynamics, and Electric RR Co. TMCC decoders have mostly been installed in 3-rail O gauge models, but it has also been offered in 2-rail O scale and S scale.
TMCC utilizes the same command codes as Digital Command Control. However, unlike DCC, it uses a 455kHz radio signal to carry the command codes separate from the track power. The locomotive decoders are require the AC track power (50 or 60 Hz) to synchronize the command receiver. Thus, TMCC can only operate on AC track power. 
Because TMCC utilizes the DCC command codes, it is possible to control TMCC with DCC compatible software. MTH Electric Trains included support to interface and control TMCC with its Digital Control System. Unlike DCC, TMCC-equipped locomotives can run simultaneously with non-TMCC locomotives. 
Lionel ceased the sale of TMCC command systems in 2010, but continues to introduce models equipped with TMCC decoders. TMCC has been superseded by Lionel's Legacy command system.

===Applications===
This device allows you to connect the layout's LocoNet to a computer, and using software, automate or configure various things. One application is using DecoderPro from the JMRI webpage to program your decoders.
Instead of the labourious task of programming a decoder manually, you can do it with a graphical interface on your computer. Or even save the config before tampering with the settings. Especially useful if you have a sound decoder that has a million options.
==== Troubleshooting ====
=====Serial to USB note=====
The device needs the RTS/CTS signals to work. If you need a serial-USB converter, some may not work as they ignore the RTS and CTS lines on the serial port. See the JMRI web site for info.
===== JMRI Version 4.16 Issues =====
JMRI version 4.16 has an issue which, in some cases, disables operation of the LocoBuffer-USB.
The only known solution to this bug is to upgrade JMRI to the 4.17 (test version) or higher/
==== Microsoft Windows 10 ====
Updated drivers are required for Microsoft's Windows 10.
Instructions are here at the RR-Cirkits website: Windows 10 Driver install for LocoBuffer-USB
=== LocoBuffer-NG ===
The LocoBuffer-NG is similar to the LocoBuffer-USB, except it looks like a USB thumb drive. It plugs directly into the computer (USB Type A connection) and has an RJ12 jack for connection to LocoNet. 
* Three status LEDs 
* Plug and Play, no settings required 
* 15kV isolation between computer and LocoNet
