3 First steps
In this section you will find out how:
- to connect your LH100 to a LZ100 or a SET02 command
station.
- to operate your first train
The following sections below will then explain all the functions of
LH100 in detail.
3.1 Connections and starting operation
The LH100 can be connected to any XpressNet system including
the following components of the Digital plus by Lenz
LZ100; SET02; SET03; Compact
It may also be used with other XpressNet systems including the
Atlas Commander and the Roco Lokmaus 2 system.
®
system:
) As with all XpressNet devices, you can disconnect your
LH100 during operation and reconnect it later when you
wish. To make the maximum use of this advantage of
XpressNet, install several connector plates LA152/LA153 or
install 5 pin din plugs around your layout. You will then
always be able to use the LH100 right at the desired place
of action.
3.1.1 Connecting to command station LZ100
Insert the 5-pin
- in the 5-pin DIN-jack on the back of your LZ100
or, if you have already installed XpressNet (XBUS) wiring on
your layout
- to a connector plate LA150, LA152, or 5 pin DIN plug
3.1.2 Connecting to SET02 or Atlas Commander
Insert the 5-pin DIN-connector into a LA152/153 connection plate
that is connected to
XpressNet 5 pin DIN plug.
3.1.3 Setting the XpressNet - Address
All input devices connected to XpressNet (XBUS) must have their
own unique device address for the information exchange to
function correctly. You must therefore make sure that each
connected device has its own unique address. Up to 31 devices
can be connected to XpressNet, ie. you can program each device
DIN-connector
SET02 or Atlas Commander, or to any other
LH100 Dispatcher’s Throttle 8
to addresses 1 through 31. Each hand held controller LH100 has
its factory default address set to address 01. If you already have
an LH100 at this address or operate another XpressNet device on
this address, you must set your new LH100 to another address.
Information on setting the XpressNet address can be found in the
section Settings (
Öp.61).
3.2 Operating Your first Train
For this example we will assume that you are using a locomotive
with the address 3.
3.2.1 Selecting the locomotive address:
To operate a locomotive you must first enter the address of the
locomotive into the LH100:
Press On the display you see Explanation
First clear the display, and begin
entering the address
The number keyed in is displayed. If
you keyed in the wrong number, you
can clear the last entered digit with
‘CL’. You do not need to enter leading
0s of an address
You end the data entry with ‘Enter’.
The direction of travel and the status
of the functions for this particular
locomotive will now be displayed. In
this example the direction of travel is
forward (arrow on left points up), the
functions 0 (light symbol), F1, F3 and
F8 are activated.
3.2.2 Controlling the locomotive's speed:
The speed of travel of the locomotive is controlled with any one of
the four following operation keys.
If you press any one of these keys and keep it pressed, the speed
steps will automatically be increased (or decreased) until the
maximum upper speed limit (or speed step 0) is reached.

SET-01 Information 9
Key Explanation Key Explanation
Each time you press this key,
you decrease (or slow down)
the speed of the locomotive
by 1 step until the locomotive
is stopped
Each time you press this key,
you decrease (or slow down)
the speed of the locomotive
by 5 steps in 14 throttle notch
mode, 8 steps in 27 or 28
throttle notch modes, or 16
steps in 128 throttle notch
mode. The locomotive will
slow down at its programmed
deceleration rate
Each time you press this key,
you increase (or speed up)
the speed of the locomotive
by 1 step until the maximum
speed is reached.
Each time you press this key,
you increase (or speed up)
the speed of the locomotive
by 5 steps in 14 throttle notch
mode, 8 steps in 27 or 28
throttle notch modes, or 16
steps in 128 throttle notch
mode. The locomotive will
speed up at its programmed
acceleration rate
Pressing any of these keys will also cause the display to
automatically change from showing the locomotive address to
showing the locomotives current speed.
Each time you change the locomotive's speed, the display will
automatically change from showing the locomotive's address to
showing the locomotive's speed and direction. If speed step 0
(locomotive standing still) is reached, the display will automatically
change back from showing speed steps to showing the locomotive
address.
You can also toggle back and forth between displaying the
locomotive's speed and the locomotive's address using the 'Enter'
key.
Press On the display you see Explanation

If the locomotive address is shown,
you can use the ‘Enter’ key to change
to showing the speed steps.
This does not change the speed or
direction of the locomotive.
When showing the locomotive's
speed, pressing the ‘enter’ key will
again change to showing the
locomotive's address.
LH100 Dispatcher’s Throttle 10
3.2.3 Changing the locomotive's direction of travel:
To change the locomotives direction of travel, first set the speed to
“0”. Then you can change the direction of travel:
Key Display Explanation
Each pressing of this key changes the
direction of travel of the locomotive.
The changed direction will be shown
in the display.
When the arrow is up the locomotive
goes forward. When the locomotive
points down the locomotive will
operate in reverse.
The direction of travel is tied to each locomotive, for example: with
a steam engine, forward means “smokestack forward”, regardless
of in what direction you have placed this locomotive on the track.
If the locomotive has speed step 00, each pressing of the '<>' key
will change the direction of travel.
The '<>' key also has another function: It affects an emergency
stop for the specific locomotive contained in the display.
If the locomotive is operating at a speed step greater than 00,
pressing the '<>' key once will cause the locomotive being
controlled to immediately stop without any pre-programmed
deceleration. Only by pressing the '<>' key a second time will
change the direction of travel, which is shown in the display by an
arrow in the upper right hand of the display that points up
(forward) or down (backwards).
3.2.4 Emergency stop/Emergency off:
With the
key you cause an emergency stop for the entire
layout. When this key is pressed, all locomotives will immediately
stop. By pressing this key again, the emergency stop is released.
This operation of this key can be configured using the set
command. (
Öp. 23)
At this point you have very quickly learned how to operate a
locomotive with the LH100 throttle.
There are many more advanced capabilities that the LH100 provides.
These features are described in the following sections. It is not
important that you know how to use all these advanced features. You
can learn to use them at any time in the future when you have a need.

4 Overview of the functions of LH100
This section will provide you:
- a short overview of each of the functions of LH100.
Specific details for using each feature follows in subsequent
subsections, which follow this section.
4.1 Controlling locomotives
4.1.1 Selecting locomotive addresses
There are 3 different ways to select a locomotive address. Up to
9999 addresses for digital locomotives are available to you. With
address 0 you control a conventional locomotive in the digital
operation. More about entering and selecting locomotive
addresses can be found in the section "Entering a new locomotive
address on the LH100 keypad" starting on page (
Öp.16 ).
4.1.2 Changing speed and direction of travel
You change the speed and the direction of travel of the locomotive
with specially shaped keys described in the section "Changing
locomotive speed and direction" starting on page (
4.1.3 Emergency stop
With the emergency stop you bring one or all locomotives to an
immediate stop described in the section "Emergency stop and
emergency off" starting on page (
4.1.4 Turning locomotive functions on and off
You can access up to 13 functions in each locomotive decoder.
You can also determine if the function operates as a on/off or
momentary function. How you control locomotive functions is
described in the section "Activating locomotive functions" starting
on page (
4.1.5 Setting the Throttle-notches for a particular locomotive
With the LH100 you can select 14, 27, 28 or 128 Throttle-notches
for the currently selected locomotive address. (Depending on the
software version of `the command station you are using). This
information is stored in the command station for subsequent use.
How you select the different Throttle-notches and match it to your
locomotive decoder is shown in section "Showing and changing
throttle-notches" starting on page (
Öp.19 ).
Öp.23 ).

menu items.
until you reach the desired
menu
4.2.1 Setting locomotive decoder functions to on/off or
momentary function
Each individual function between F1 and F12 can be configured
on a per locomotive basis to either be on/off or momentary. In
on/off operation the function is turned on with one keystroke and
turned off with the next keystroke. In momentary operation the
function is only turned on for as long as you keep the
corresponding key pressed. When you release the key again, the
corresponding function turns off again.
The procedure for setting this is described in "Configuring
locomotive decoder functions" starting on page (
4.2.2 Double header
Öp.25 ).
Double heading allows you to easily assign two locomotives to a
double header and then operate it as a single locomotive from
either locomotive address. The procedure for setting this is
described in "Double herder" starting on page (
Öp.27 ).
12
SET-01 Information 13
4.2.3 Multi-Unit Consist (MU)
The LH100 implements smart consisting. Smart consisting allows
you to set up a number of locomotives that can be operated as a
single unit. As many as 256 locomotives can be controlled at the
same time using a common consist address, which we call the
locomotive's multi-unit consist address (MU-address). To you it
is as if you only controlled one single locomotive, but all the
locomotives in the MU react at the same time.
With the LH100 you can (depending on the software version of the
command station you are using) control, assemble and
disassemble multi-unit consists.
Detailed information is found in "Multi-unit consists (MU)" starting
on page (
Öp.32 ).
4.2.4 Throwing turnouts and setting signals
Using your LH100 you can throw turnouts, set signals or activate
relays. To allow control via the LH100, these devices must be
connected to accessory decoders LS100/110/120 of
Digital plus by Lenz
®
system or other compatible modules. The
procedure is controlling these devices using the LH100 is
described in "Throwing turnouts and setting signals" starting on
Öp.38 ).
page (
4.2.5 Display feedback information
The LH100 can also be used to display the status of the inputs
generated by feedback encoders LR100/101. These feedback
encoders can be used for example to display occupancy of
selected locations of your layout.
You find the directions for displaying feedback information in
"Displaying feedback" starting on page (
Öp.41 ).
LH100 Dispatcher’s Throttle 14
4.2.6 Configuring decoder settings: Programming
Each decoder has settings that can be set to customize the
decoder to an individual locomotive, for example the locomotive's
address, acceleration and deceleration delays are configurable
settings on a locomotive decoder. These settings can be changed
by a technique we refer to as programming. The LH100 provides
two programming methods. Which method you can use depends
on your command station and its software version, as well as the
locomotive decoders you use.
4.2.7 Operations mode programming
Using operations mode programming or "Programming on the
main', you can configure the settings of your locomotive decoder
while the locomotive is being operated anywhere on the layout.
For example, couple your locomotive in front of a heavy freight
train and now adjust the acceleration delay to fit the train!
Operations mode Programming is descried in "Programming on
the Maim (POM)" starting on page (
4.2.8 Programming on the programming track
Using a separate programming track you can both configure and
read back each of the individual locomotive decoder's settings.
Information on programming using a programming track can be
found in "Programming on the programming track" on page
(
Öp.50 ).
4.2.9 System settings
Öp.46 ).
The LH100 allows you to configure several system settings. For
example, you can program how the emergency stop button works,
check and change the LH100 XpressNet address, read out the
software version of your command station, and more. Detailed
descriptions can be found in "Configuring the LH100 handheld
using the SYS menu" starting on page (
14
Öp.61 ).
SET-01 Information 15
5 The LH100 LCD Display
In this section you will learn about the LH100 two-row LCD
display.
Depending on which mode of operation you are using, the display
will look different. The display for the locomotive address always
uses 4 digits. Zeros are added in front of the address if needed.
Here are examples of the most important displays:
A single locomotive with address 0003
is being controlled.
A locomotive with address 1234 is in a
multi-unit consist.
A multi-unit consist with address 33 is
being controlled.
Examples for the display of speed steps:
Speed step 1 in "28 speed steps" mode
12 6 8
Speed step 28 in "28 speed steps" mode
Speed step 1 in "128 speed steps" mode
12 6 8
12 6 8
Speed step 126 is the maximum speed
in "128 speed steps" mode
LH100 Dispatcher’s Throttle 16
While the speed step is displayed, the locomotive address is
hidden. The direction of travel and the functions continue to be
displayed.
6 Controlling locomotives with the LH100
In this section you will learn about basic locomotive control using
the LH 100. When you want to control a locomotive, you have to
call it up first. There are three different ways you can call up a
locomotive you want to control:
- Enter the number of the locomotive on the LH100 keypad
- Toggle between 2 locomotive addresses
- Seek out a locomotive from the command station stack.
All addresses from 0 to 9999 are valid. Address 0 is intended for
conventional locomotives (ones without a digital decoder).
When you first start using the LH100, it displays locomotive
address 0003.
6.1 Changing locomotive speed and direction
How to control a locomotive’s speed and direction of travel was
already described in the section "First Steps: Controlling
locomotives". Please refer back to this section on how to control
the speed and direction of your locomotive.
6.2 Entering a new locomotive address on the
LH100 keypad
In the following example a locomotive address "1234" is entered
using the LH100 keypad.
Press On the display you see Explanation
Clear the display first.
Begin to enter the address by
pressing the first digit of the
locomotive's address on the
keypad.
If you make an error, you can use
to erase the last entered
digit.
16
SET-01 Information 17
You continue by pressing each
number in the locomotive's
address
After you have entered the
complete locomotive address you
confirm the entry by pressing the
'Enter' key.
The information about functions,
direction and speed step
associated with this address will
now be displayed.
If the display flashes after you call up a locomotive address, then
the locomotive is already being operated by another hand held
controller/ If you desire you can still take over control of this
locomotive. More about this in "Taking over control of a locomotive
from another hand held controller" starting on page (
Öp.19 ).
6.3 Quickly toggling between 2 locomotive
addresses
The ‘Esc’ key on the LH100 keypad can be used to toggle
between the two locomotive addresses.
Changing the
content:
Memory 1 old address
Enter new address
Memory 1 new address
For example: You have just called up locomotive 24. The address
for that locomotive is now in one of the two LH100 locomotive
memories.
Now press the ‘Esc’ key, and the display will change to the
address that is in the second memory. This is for instance address
22. If you now want to operate a locomotive with the address 78,
then press ‘Cl’, enter the address 78 and confirm with the ‘Enter’
Toggle between
memory 1 and 2
Changing the
content:

key. From now on, you can use the ‘Esc’ key to toggle between
address 24 and 78. If you press the ‘Cl’ key, then the locomotive
address in the memory currently shown is erased; the locomotive
address in the second memory is still available for use.
6.4 Selecting an address from the command
station stack
The command station stack is a database that contains all the
locomotive addresses that have been used together with the
locomotive's associated data (speed step, function status). With
this function you can select an address to control from any of the
addresses the database:
Press On the display you see Explanation
First clear the display
The first locomotive from the
command station stack is
displayed. The “A” in the lower row
shows that you are in the selection
from the locomotive stack.
Each pressing of the ‘-’ key pages
through the locomotive stack in the
command station. The two first
examples show single locomotive
addresses.
This is an example of a locomotive
address that is part of a multi-unit
consist.
18
Here is a multi-unit consist
address displayed for selection.
Keep paging until you see the
locomotive address you want
displayed.
Using 'Enter' you can now select
the address of the locomotive you
want to control. Direction and
function status are now displayed.
SET-01 Information 19
You can also clear a locomotive from the command station stack,
if this option is set in the system settings. For more information
see section "SET_5: Erasing locomotive addresses from the
command station stack" starting on page (
Öp.66 ).
6.5 Taking over control of a locomotive from
another hand held controller
When desired you will take over control of a locomotive that is
being operated by another engineer. To do this you call up the
locomotive's address. The locomotive’s information is now shown
flashing. If you don’t want to take over control of the locomotive,
but want to find out the current operational data for the locomotive,
then each pressing the ‘Enter’ key will update the operational data
of the locomotive in your display. If for instance the speed step of
the locomotive is changed on the first hand held controller, you
can observe that on your hand held controller’s display.
You take over control for this locomotive from the other handheld
to your hand held controller by pressing one of the following keys:
The display no longer flashes, and on the display the newest
operation and function data is shown. Now the display on the
other hand held controller flashes. Only the next operation
command (pressing one of the keys shown above) will be sent to
the locomotive, which prevents unintended sudden changes of the
speed.
6.6 Activating locomotive functions
All Digital plus by Lenz ® locomotive decoders have one or more
additional functions. The functions are numbered, beginning with
0. Altogether the Digital plus by Lenz
functions in locomotive decoders.
Functions 0-8 can be activated directly while you are controlling a
locomotive (that is the locomotive address or the speed step is
displayed), using keys the ‘0’ to ‘8’:
®
system can reach up to 13
LH100 Dispatcher’s Throttle 20
Press On the display you see Explanation
This function 0 is assigned to the
headlights in most locomotive
decoders and is shown by the
lamp symbol in the lower row of
the display.
The state of functions 1 to 8 is
shown in the second row next to
the “F”.
If the functions are set to on/off
mode (factory default), then the
first key stroke turns on the
function.
The next keystroke turns the
function off again.
If the function is set to momentary
activation, then it is only turned on
for as long as the key is pressed.
The display shows accordingly.
To turn functions 9 to 12 on and off, you must first switch the
display over to the high order function block using the '9' key:
The "F" in the lower row changes to
a slowly flashing "8".
The '1' key now turns on function 9,
the '2' key function 10 and so on.
You must simply add the number 8

6.7 Showing and changing throttle-notches
In this section you learn:
- what throttle-notches are
- which throttle-notches are available to you
- how to select different throttle-notches for individual
locomotive addresses.
The area from stopped to maximum speed of a locomotive is
divided into a series of throttle-notches. The more notches
present, the smaller the division between different locomotive
speeds. With the LH100 you can set the displayed locomotive
address to have 14, 27, 28 or 128 throttle-notches.
This is how you show/change the speed step modes:
Press On the display you see Explanation
Call up the locomotive address
whose number of throttle-notches
you want to see or change. Make
sure that the locomotive is on
speed 0; if needed press the '<>'
key.
After pressing the ‘+’ key the
current number of LH100 throttlenotches is shown. 28 throttlenotches is the default for version
3.0
By repeated pressing of the ‘+’ key
you are now shown the possible
throttle-notches that are available.
To assign a desired number of
throttle-notches to this locomotive
address, press ‘Enter’.
) If the locomotive's speed is not 0, then the currently set
number of throttle notches is shown as long as you keep the
‘+’ key pressed, but the mode cannot be changed.
LH100 Dispatcher’s Throttle 22
) For locomotive addresses 100-9999, only 28 and 128-
throttle-notches are available for use.
) The locomotive decoder's speed step mode (set via CV29)
must match the LH100 number of throttle–positions
(Öp.42 ).
The following correspondence between system and locomotive
decoder must be created:
System Locomotive
decoder
14 or 27 throttle-positions: 14 speed steps
28 or 128 throttle-
28 speed steps
positions:
Setting the locomotive decoder to a particular speed step mode is
done in CV29 of the decoder. For details, see the
Digital plus by Lenz
®
"Information for locomotive decoders".
You must make sure that the locomotive decoder also
“understands” the programmed speed step mode. For Digital plus
decoders the following correspondence applies:

7 Emergency stop and emergency off
In this section you will learn about:
- the function of the key.
- how to turn off track power
- changing information during an emergency stop
The 'St' key tells the system to perform an emergency stop. You
can program this key to have two different effects:
Emergency stop Emergency off
the locomotives are
stopped, but the track
OR
the power on the track is
shut off
power remains on
alternating with
(flashes)
The factory default is emergency stop, that is all the locomotives are
stopped with track power remaining on. How you program the ‘St’ key
is described in section "".
7.1 Turning off the track power
If an emergency stop has been triggered, you can still turn off the
power to the track:
Press On the display you see Explanation
alternates with
Call up the locomotive address whose
function setting you want to display or
change
The emergency stop is displayed.
The display “OFF FO” is designed to
remind you of the key stroke
sequence needed to turn off the track
power:
LH100 Dispatcher’s Throttle 24
You start the power off sequence
(flashes)
by first pressing the 'F' key.
Next you press the '0' key. The
track power is now turned off
Pressing the ‘St’ key a second
time resets the emergency stop,
the track power is turned on again.
7.2 Changing operating information during
emergency stop/off
During the emergency stop/emergency off you can change the
operating information that will be sent to the locomotives on the
layout once you resume operation. This allows you to fix the
problem that caused you to emergency stop the layout before you
resume operation.
Press On the display you see Explanation
alternates with
The emergency stop or emergency
off is displayed
You return to controlling
locomotives with ‘Esc’. You can
now change the speed and
direction that the displayed
locomotive resume with when the
layout is turned on again...
You can also call up other locomotives and change their speed
and direction. all the changes made will take effect once you
resume operation by pressing the 'St' key a second time.
When in this mode the "E" in the display will blink
