Outputs Of The Ls150 - Lenz Digital Plus LS150 Handbuch

Outputs of the LS150

The LS150 has 6 outputs, which means that up to 6 devices (point and
semaphore signal drives, uncoupling tracks etc.) can be connected to a LS150
and controlled individually.
Pulse Duration
Having received a switch command for an output, this output will be switched on.
It will remain so as long as the switch command is being sent. Afterwards the
output will remain switched on until the set pulse duration expires.
The pulse duration of the outputs can be set individually from 0.1 to 10 seconds.
This makes it possible to adjust the pulse duration to the point drive used.
Overload protection
The outputs have a joint protection mechanism against overload. If the
permissible maximum power is exceeded, the LS150 will switch off the terminal
("+" or "-" of an output) which experienced the short-circuit. You can tell that a
blocked status is existent by the fact that the LED does not shine although a
command was received for this output. The corresponding terminal and all other
outputs still function! The short-circuited terminal can only be reactivated by
interrupting the AC supply.
Voltage on the outputs
AC voltage is applied to the outputs; this is a particularly advantageous form of
voltage for the use of the LS150 with double-coil point and semaphore signal
drives as well as relays.
For technical reasons, the device connected to the output must have a
power consumption of at least 10mA. However, this is the case with
almost all customary magnetic articles. If in doubt, please contact the
manufacturer.
