[. . . ] LH100 Dispatcher's Throttle 1 Designed for use on all XpressNet systems LH100 Keypad based Dispatcher's Throttle Version 3. 0 art. 21100 December 2002 LH100 Dispatcher's Throttle 2 Welcome! Congratulations for purchasing the Digital plus by Lenz® hand held controller LH100. We wish you much enjoyment with using this model train control system. The LH100 hand held controller is the universal data input device in the Digital plus by Lenz ® system. [. . . ] In this case you will see the last entered position (+ or -) when you call up the turnout. And when you press the + or - keys, the display will update immediately. If after entering for instance the turnout address `118' you see this display then this address is not an accessory decoder, but a feedback encoder LR100. In this case pressing the `+' or `-' key will have no effect. Using the `Cl' key you can get back to entering a new turnout address, using `Esc' you can get back to controlling locomotives. Information about displaying the status on feedback encoders is in section "Displaying feedback" starting on page ( p. 41 ). 11. 2 Train operation while controlling turnouts or signals While displaying a turnout address and its status, you can still use the operation keys to control the most recently called up locomotive. When you press one of the operation keys, this locomotive address or speed is shown in the display. The locomotive's address' direction arrow and the status of the decoder functions are always shown in the display. This way you can still control the selected locomotive even while you throw turnouts and set signals. This allows you to comfortably execute yard switching operations. 40 SET-01 Information 41 12 Displaying feedback In this section you learn: how to display layout feedback on the LH100 display You reach this function menu in one of two ways then scroll through the menus using OR until you see a display of then press or followed by Using this LH100 function you can show the status of any of the LR100/101 feedback encoders inputs. Press On the display you see Display shows the recently selected menu most This is the prompt to enter the feedback encoder address Let's assume that you want to show the 8 feedback inputs of feedback encoder address 39 on the display. After you press 'Enter' the hand held controller will check the status of the feedback encoder and show the results. In the upper row of the display you will see "OD" to indicate that you are displaying feedback information, and next to it the address of the feedback encoder read. In the lower row, next to the `b' the status of the 8 inputs on the feedback encoder address will be shown. In the example, a display of 1 3 4 6 8 means that the feedback inputs 1, 3, 4, 6 and 8 are active and inputs 2, 5, and 7 are inactive. Explanation LH100 Dispatcher's Throttle 42 If you enter a smaller or larger value, then you will again be prompted to enter a turnout address. If you want to show the status of another feedback encoder, then use `Cl' to clear the displayed address and enter the new one. If you enter a feedback encoder address, but there is no feedback encoder with that address connected to the feedback bus, then a "--" will be displayed behind the address. If you enter a smaller or larger value, then you will again be prompted to enter a feedback encoder address. 13 Reading/Changing decoder settings In this large section you will find out: what "programming" really is in Digital plus by Lenz ® what settings can be changed by programming what different methods can be used for programming how you proceed when programming 13. 1 What is programming and what purpose does it serve? Each decoder has a number of settings that can be changed to customize that decoder to its particular use. This can be a locomotive decoder, an accessory decoder or a feedback encoder. Each of these settings is stored in a memory location inside the decoder. Each "card" has one setting of the locomotive decoder written on it, for instance on "card" number 1 the locomotive address, on "card" number 3 the acceleration delay. Depending on the number of settings available in this decoder the "index box" is sometimes bigger, sometimes smaller. [. . . ] Change the speed step mode in the locomotive decoder to 28 speed steps (CV29, set bit 2) Control the locomotive with the multi-unit consist address The locomotive lights (F0) do not respond when the key is pressed. The locomotive does not run with its basic address The locomotive is possibly part of a multi-unit consist that is not know by the system. The locomotive address in the display flashes Emergency stop and off: The display shows a flashing "STOP" The display shows a flashing "OFF" The selected address is Select another locomotive or already called up on another take over the locomotive: hand held controller Press one of the speed keys An emergency stop was initiated by another hand held controller An emergency off was initiated by another hand held controller A power station has set down because of a short circuit or overload. If the cause is an overload, consider dividing the layout into several power districts. Refer to "Power supply for a large model train layout" in the system operation manual. You can only control a locomotive in this condition with the MU address. [. . . ]
