RMweb Premium 7013 Posted May 17, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 17, 2011 Have taken a look around the forum but could not find any info. I want to know if the Hornby Elite will work the Lenz LS150 accessory decoder? I vaguely remember reading somewhere that the Elite and LS150 would work together.

RMweb Gold Savoyard Posted May 17, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 17, 2011 The LS150's should work with any DCC system including the Elite. I have had one working with NCE PowerCab and the ESU ECoS. Regards, Peter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil S Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 As with several other Accessory Decoders (but not the Hornby ones), the Lenz LS150 Requires an additional 50Hz(/60Hz) 16Vac power supply to operate the accessories (It MUST be ac). The dcc track data is only used to provide the control data - the 'track dcc' does not have to supply the power required to operate the solenoids. There are other accessory decoders where this choice is optional (but recommended) - however that is NOT the case with the LS150. The LS150, very usefully, also has 6 outputs which do not have to be in numerical sequence. The LS150 is also PULSE ONLY - it cannot be used to operate colour light signals.

RMweb Premium 7013 Posted May 17, 2011 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted May 17, 2011 Thanks gents, I appreciate that the LS150 requires a seperate 16V AC supply. I am assuming that the connection to an Elite is similar to the JK connections on the Lenz system i.e. the Info to operate the outputs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauln Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 I had 6 LS150s working quite happily with an Elite (but have recently changed to NCE Powercab) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
