6 Information LH01

3 Overview of the features of the LH01

Locomotive
addresses

Locomotive addresses range from 1 - 9999.
Address 0 is used to control an analogue
locomotive.

Stack for
locomotive
addresses

The LH01 has a stack for locomotive addresses
that comprises 12 slots. The stack serves to
store the locomotive addresses as well as the
settings used most frequently.

Locomotive
functions and
configuration

Up to 29 functions are available for each
locomotive address.

Use of the LH01 with a command station LZV100
facilitates the independent setting of these 29
functions to permanent or temporary operation.
This setting is stored with the locomotive address
in the LZV100.

Permanent operation:
Press the key once to

enable this function and
again to disable this
function.

Temporary operation:

This function is enabled
as long as the
corresponding key is
pressed, and disabled
as soon as the key is
released.

Function
acronyms

You can assign an acronym to each of the 29
functions from among the list of acronyms
contained in the LH01. This facilitates finding a
desired function. You can enable and disable the
display of acronyms.

Speed steps

The LH01 supports 28 or 128 speed steps
depending on the mode set in the command
station for the respective locomotive address.
The mode cannot be changed.

Club mode

The LH01 has two so-called ‘club modes’ in
which certain functions of the LH01 are disabled.
This allows operation by model railway fans who
are not fully familiar with the LH01.

Double traction

Two locomotives can be joined in a double
traction and controlled simultaneously.

7

Multiple traction

Multiple tractions that are already joined (by
means of the LH100 or LH90) can be controlled.
It is not possible to join a multiple traction with the
LH01.

Programming in
operational
mode (PoM)

PoM allows you to change the settings of the
locomotive that is currently being controlled. You
can change, for example, the starting delay,
maximum speed, or sound volume.

Changing a
locomotive
address

You can read or change a locomotive address on
the programming track of the LZV100.

Points, signals
and other
accessories

The address range for points, signals and other
accessories (for example, uncouplers) ranges
from 1 to 999.

XpressNet

Communication with the command station is
made through the XpressNet connection.
As is the case with all other XpressNet devices,
your LH01 can be disconnected and reconnected
during operation. The locomotive controlled last
will continue its operation with the last settings
stored. Once reconnected, this locomotive will
again be controlled.

With the LH01 it is easy to assemble two locomotives in a double
traction and to control them as if they were one.

10.1 Requirements to assemble a double traction

Before assembling two locomotives in a double traction, you have to

- enter each locomotive address in the stack of the LH01.

- set the speed step of each locomotive to 0 (standstill).

You cannot assemble a conventional locomotive (address 0) in a
double traction! The attempt to do so will result in an error message.

10.2 Assembling two locomotives in a double

traction

Select the first locomotive (here: the locomotive with the address 1)
from the stack and drive it to the location on the layout where you
want to couple it to the second locomotive.

Select the second locomotive from the stack (here: the locomotive
with the address 3) and drive it to the first locomotive.

Ensure that both locomotives are driving into the same direction.
It is possible that the display of one locomotive indicates ‘forward’

while the display of the other locomotive indicates ‘backward’ since
the direction of travel is locomotive-dependent.

Proceed as follows:

12 Setting (programming) locomotive decoders

(PoM)

A simple example of a decoder setting that can be changed is the so­called starting delay. The starting delay determines whether
increasing the speed step results in an immediate increase (small
value) or in a gradual increase (high value) of the locomotive’s speed.

‘Programming’ means changing the settings of locomotive decoders.
Settings are stored as numerical values in so-called CVs

(‘Configuration Variables’). Which settings of a locomotive decoder
can be changed is described in the corresponding operating manual.

Further detailed information on settings and CVs of Digital plus
decoders can be found in the ‘Manual locomotive decoders’. You can
download this manual on the following website:

http://www.lenz-elektronik.de/download.php

The LH01 uses ‘Programming in operational mode’ (PoM) to set
decoder settings. The advantage of PoM is that the locomotive may
be located anywhere on the layout rather than be placed on a specific
programming track.

Action

What is the club mode?
Let us assume that you would like to operate your model railway

layout together with other model railway fans.
To this end, you would like to hand the manual control LH01 to

somebody who has never used the device. You can simplify
operation by hiding most of the operating functions.

Or you would like to prevent someone from selecting a locomotive that
was not assigned to him or her or from making other system settings.

To this end, three modes are available:

Mode 1: It is only possible to control the locomotive set and to

switch the functions assigned to function keys A, B and C.
It is also possible so switch points and signals.
All other operating functions of the LH01 are blocked.

Mode 2: It is only possible to control the locomotive set and to

switch the functions assigned to function keys A, B and C.
All other operating functions of the LH01 are blocked.

Mode 0: This is the factory setting. All settings and functions of the

LH01 are available.

Mode 1 and mode 2 are secured by a password (a 4-digit number).
