Lenz Stay Alives

[TheSnapper]

I have recently "acquired" a couple of Lenz Stay Alive modules from redundant Gold decoders.

 

Looking on t'Internet, one appears to be a "Power 1" and the other a "Power 3".

 

My question is - can they be used successfully on ESU V4 &r V5 Loksound decoders?

 

If so, how do the Brown, Pink & Blue flying leads correlate to the Black White & Red on the ESU decoder?

 

Thanks

Possibly, to probably.  But, there's a lot of destructive electricity in capacitors, so when connecting 3rd party stuff to £100 sound decoders, the words of Dirty Harry seem appropriate - "do you feel lucky?"  

 

Consult the pages on the Tramfabriek website on their Trainomatic decoders.  Within the manuals for the Trainomatic energy storage stuff are wiring connections which will help link up Lenz Power-1 and ESU V4 & V5 wiring arrangements.   https://tramfabriek.nl/decoders.html

Thanks for your reply Nigel.

I ended up buying a couple of their own Smart Power Packs to try.
At €20 each, about half the price of the ESU variety.

Cheers
