Wiring the DZ-2500 Switch Machine to the CSM2 using the Break-out
Board
Wiring the DZ-2500 using the Breakout Board is very straight-forward. Follow these steps:
1. Connect accessory power to the Breakout Board. The power needs to be supplied from
an accessory transformer and needs to be set to 12-14VAC. Use caution: reversing the
power into the board could potentially cause damage to your DZ-2500. For additional
DZ-2500/Breakout Board installs, the power can be daisy-chained through the screw
terminal connector. Carefully read the labels on the Breakout Board.
2. Connect the serial line from the CSM2 to the Breakout Board. This line can also be
daisy-chained to the next Breakout Board if more than one DZ-2500 is being used.
Carefully read the labels on the Breakout Board.
3. Connect the switch-sense to the CSM2. Your first DZ-2500 goes to the #1 screw
terminal. Following DZ-2500 switch machines go to #2 and so on. Each CSM2 can
provide switch-sense to the LCS app for up to 7 total DZ-2500 switch machines.
Additional DZ-2500 switch machines require an additional CSM2.
4. There are 3 wires for the non-derail feature. Carefully read Breakout Board labels.
C is for common. Connect to regular track ground/common/U. T is for thru. This is
the switch direction you use as the “straight” or “thru” direction. O is for out. This is
the turnout direction for your switch machine. Both T and U must be connected to the
switch rails that are normally isolated from regular ground.
5. Connect the DZ-2500’s 7 wires. Carefully read the labels on the Breakout Board. To
install the wires, simply press the button and insert the bare wire. Use caution: having
the wires installed in the incorrect positions could damage your DZ-2500.
The Breakout Board also has 4 mounting holes. You can mount the board under your
layout or wherever is most convenient. Be mindful of the components/solder joints on the
back of the board. Installing the board without using spacers on the backside of the screws
could damage the board.
Your layout has always been more than the sum of its parts. But until now, combining those parts into a complete system could be a challenge. Lionel’s new Layout Control
System or “LCS,” fulfills the LEGACY promise of integrated locomotive and layout control.
