2 Important advice, please read first!
The manual control LH01 is a component of the Digital plus by Lenz
®
system and was submitted to intensive testing before delivery. Lenz
Elektronik GmbH guarantees fault-free operation if you follow the
advice below:
The LH01 may only be operated with Digital plus by Lenz
®
system
components. Any use other than that described in this operating
manual is not permitted and all guarantees will be invalid if the LH01
is used inappropriately. Connect your LH01 only to devices that are
designated for such connection. This operating manual will tell you
which devices are suitable. Do not expose the LH01 to damp or direct
sunlight.
WARNING!
Do not leave your model railway system unsupervised
during operation! The heat generated by a short-
circuit creates a fire risk!

6 Information LH01
3 Overview of the features of the LH01
Locomotive
addresses
Locomotive addresses range from 1 - 9999.
Address 0 is used to control an analogue
locomotive.
Stack for
locomotive
addresses
The LH01 has a stack for locomotive addresses
that comprises 12 slots. The stack serves to
store the locomotive addresses as well as the
settings used most frequently.
Locomotive
functions and
configuration
Up to 29 functions are available for each
locomotive address.
Use of the LH01 with a command station LZV100
facilitates the independent setting of these 29
functions to permanent or temporary operation.
This setting is stored with the locomotive address
in the LZV100.
Permanent operation:
Press the key once to
enable this function and
again to disable this
function.
Temporary operation:
This function is enabled
as long as the
corresponding key is
pressed, and disabled
as soon as the key is
released.
Function
acronyms
You can assign an acronym to each of the 29
functions from among the list of acronyms
contained in the LH01. This facilitates finding a
desired function. You can enable and disable the
display of acronyms.
Speed steps
The LH01 supports 28 or 128 speed steps
depending on the mode set in the command
station for the respective locomotive address.
The mode cannot be changed.
Club mode
The LH01 has two so-called ‘club modes’in
which certain functions of the LH01 are disabled.
This allows operation by model railway fans who
are not fully familiar with the LH01.
Double traction
Two locomotives can be joined in a double
traction and controlled simultaneously.

7
Multiple traction
Multiple tractions that are already joined (by
means of the LH100 or LH90) can be controlled.
It is not possible to join a multiple traction with the
LH01.
Programming in
operational
mode (PoM)
PoM allows you to change the settings of the
locomotive that is currently being controlled. You
can change, for example, the starting delay,
maximum speed, or sound volume.
Changing a
locomotive
address
You can read or change a locomotive address on
the programming track of the LZV100.
Points, signals
and other
accessories
The address range for points, signals and other
accessories (for example, uncouplers) ranges
from 1 to 999.
XpressNet
Communication with the command station is
made through the XpressNet connection.
As is the case with all other XpressNet devices,
your LH01 can be disconnected and reconnected
during operation. The locomotive controlled last
will continue its operation with the last settings
stored. Once reconnected, this locomotive will
again be controlled.

4 Operating elements of the LH01
The rotary knob is
used to make
entries. Apart from
the rotary function,
the knob has five
key functions: up,
down, left, right,
and centre.
Function keys
A, B, and C:
For each locomotive
address in the stack,
locomotive functions
(F0 to F28) can be
assigned to these
keys.
Use the ‘Esc’ key to
go back one step in
the menu structure.
The LEDs
surrounding the
rotary knob indicate
when you are in one

10 Information LH01
5 Connection and initial operation
The LH01 can be used with the command stations LZ100 or LZV100.
The LH01 requires the software version 3.6 for the
command station LZ100/LZV100.
Update your command station, if necessary.
1.
Insert the Western plug of the enclosed connecting cable
into the socket of the LH01.
2.
Insert the five-pole DIN plug into the five-pole DIN socket
at the back of the LZ100/LZV100.
