Thank you. Yes resolved.

I have temporary setup the PM10D and responding to its default address, 1. However I want to change that to 21. I know how to set the PM10D to learn mode but cannot get the LH100 to change the address. I set the PM10D to "Set" and on the LH100 press F5 then press 21 then press Enter. I then change the PM10D to "Run". When I F5 the Lenz with 21 it does not respond; still responds to 1. Any advice please.

I am putting an Asymmetric Threeway Code 75 turnout in my Code 100 layout. Layout is Lenz DCC, running under Railroad & Co software. Using Peco SL-113 transition tracks, to cope with track matching; laying turnout on plasticard to match sleeper heights. I intend to just cut the bridging wires on the SL-113 to isolate the 4 frog rails instead of using insulation joiners. As I use Lenz I call my rails J and K. Looking at the underside of the turnout I see that there are two places where 6 rails are exposed. I intend to solder the three exposed rails on one side, nearest to switch blades, to the J rail input and the same on the other side to the K rail input. I did similar on my previous layout with Code 100 threeway turnouts to give better reliability; a bit belt and braces. I will leave the other exposed rails alone. I will use Peco PL13 accessory switches to control the frog switching via the supplied fine wires already soldered. Any comments please?

Yes. Thank you.

Yes have blanking plug. Should have thought of that. Thank you.

I have started a topic on decoder tester. In the meantime I wonder if I can test whether my loco will work running on normal analogue power. I see that that appears to be connections from the buoltin circuit board to the motor; see attached. If I connect my HM 2000 to the C1 pins on the board should the motor run. Would I do any damage conncting to these pins?

I know this device is very old but can one one pleae tell where to get an instruction manual or how to use it. I have a chip that needs to be tested. I assumme I connect the leads on the trster to the same colour as on the chip. Then connect the two red thicker wires to my track; J K rails on my Lenz system?

Thank you but I already have that. Thought that a circuit diagram may help solve my non working unit?

does anyone know where I can find a circuit diagram for this device?

Yes I have some turnouts were the rails are powered direct from the J K bus. For these I have diodes in the J line. Will probably convert these to runoff an unused RS-8 I have, so diodes will no longer be needed.

The image showed a test setup. On my layout I also only connect the K (red in my case) wires from RS-8 to the track; each K rail is isolated from the next block. J is continuous.

I use RS-8 and Lenz LZV10 and LH100. Wiring to RS-8 18V AC to AC inputs RS from LZV100 to RS inputs JK from LZV100 to IN1 and IN2 Output from ports 1 to 8 to JK rails on track. See my post "Littfinski RS-8 won't program" for image of my wiring setup. NOTE JK from JK bus now added to IN2 to solve my problem. The only connection to track is from ports 1 to 8. I have an AC bus round my layout and a JK and RS bus from the LZV100; these buses feed my RS-8s. Hope this helps?

Thank you. Connecting J K to both IN1 and IN2 solved problem.

Related to my other post. I have another RS-8 that stopped working a long time ago. I tried this in the same setup but the LED will not flash nor will the RRamp meter show anything. I long shot but is there something simple that I could check to fix it? All my RS-8s were bought assembled many years ago.

I have dug out a couple of RS- 8 from a previous layout; can't remember what addresses they were set to. My guesses did not work with F6 on my LH100. I have a spare track set up with the input fed from ports 1 & 2 on the RS-8. K and J are connected to IN1. AC and R & S are also connected. My RRamp metre is showing 14.9v when connected to the rails. A loco, address 65, is run from the LH100. I have ensured that the wiring is correct by doing continuity checks from another RS-8 that is working correctly on the layout i.e AC, RS and JK sound on my multimeter. However I cannot change the address on this RS-8. I press the switch and the LED flashes. I press F5 and press 99 then Enter. The LED continues to flash. I have altered the address on the RS-8 on the layout, worked OK, and returned it to its required address using the LH100. Also ow do I find out what address it is programed to? Any advice please?
