The LT Panel is the same fascia panel assembly which comes included with the LT-50.
This product is used with the LT-50 "Layout Throttle." This panel can be used to create a DCC track output when used with an LT-50 using the specified jack. A single additional wired LCC throttle can be connected to the front of the panel, and this panel can be connected into a larger LCC network using the jacks on the back.
The LT Panel can also be used as a power injection point for an LCC network (400mA per port) when used with an appropriate power supply (not included, except with the LT-50) and the barrel jack on the back.
Included In Package
- LT Panel board x1
- LT Panel fascia cover plate x1
- Fascia mounting screws x4
- Fascia cover plate screws x2
- Option Jumpers x3
Physical Overview
The LT Panel has a few notable physical features:
- Green 2-pin Track Output connector with detachable screw terminal connector
- 2.5mm x 5.5mm barrel jack for Power In
- Configuration Jumpers (see details below)
- Single "LT" RJ-45 jack(for LT-50 only)
- Three "LCC" RJ-45 jacks (1x Front: For T-50; 2x Rear for LCC Bus)
- Bi-color LED for "Track On"

Configuration Jumpers
Refer to the table below for information on the configuration jumpers available on the LT Panel:
| Jumper Position | Description |
|---|---|
| TERM (1) | Insert this jumper to add termination to the LCC-CAN bus. An LCC-CAN bus should have exactly two terminators, with one at each end of the bus.
This jumper can (optionally) provide for one of the required terminators. Note: In practicality, a very short (less than 10ft or 3m) LCC-CAN bus can still work reliably with one terminator. |
| N/A (2) | Not Used |
| DCC/F (3 & 4) | The LT Panel is designed to be use with a "Layout Throttle", such as an LT-50 plugged into the front facing port with the "LT" logo. Insert these two jumpers to pass the low power DCC signals from the Layout Throttle through to the other three LCC jacks (pins 4 & 5 of the LCC-CAN standard). Remove these jumpers to disconnect the low power DCC signals provided by the Layout Throttle.
Note: The Layout Throttle uses the NMRA S-9.1.2 Full Scale Interface
This circuit is only intended to be used to provide the signal from the LT-50 to other devices on the LCC-CAN bus. This circuit is not intended to supply signals to LCC boosters such as the B-106. This circuit must be disabled/open if another LCC device is driving the LCC-CAN pins 4 & 5 as allowed by the standard. The LT Panel is not designed to be used along with another LCC/DCC command station, such as the CS-105. In this case, an LCC Panel should be used instead. |
