Device Information
ManufacturerTrain Control Systems
TypeFascia Panel
SKU1599
Release Date08-09-2022
Retail Price$29.95
PSUDC 15V/36W
(Not Incl.)

The LT Panel is the same fascia panel assembly which comes included with the LT-50.

This product is an expansion panel for an LCC network, such as those created and used by the CS-105 and LT-50. Use this product to expand the number of wired throttles such as the T-50 you can connect to the TCS command station, or to provide an access point and/or power for other LCC devices distributed around your layout.

The LT Panel also includes a jack you can use to connect a Power Supply to power the LCC bus. (Not Included, except with LT-50)

Included In Package

  • LT Panel board x1
  • LT Panel fascia cover plate x1
  • Fascia mounting screws x4
  • Fascia cover plate screws x2

Physical Overview

The LT Panel has a few notable physical features:

  1. Green 2-pin Track Output connector with detachable screw terminal connector
  2. 2.5mm x 5.5mm barrel jack for Power In
  3. Configuration Jumpers (see details below)
  4. Single "LT" RJ-45 jack(for LT-50 only)
  5. Three "LCC" RJ-45 jacks (1x Front: For T-50; 2x Rear for LCC Bus)
  6. 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
(1) TERM 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.

(2) N/A Not Used
(3 & 4) DCC/F
Simplified diagram showing the electrical connection for DCC/F jumpers.
Insert these two jumpers to pass the low power DCC signals through the LCC panel (pins 4 & 5 of the LCC-CAN standard).

Remove these jumpers to disconnect the low power DCC signals from passing through the panel. Note: The LT Panel uses the NMRA S-9.1.2 Full Scale Interface


DCC/F is a low-power mirror of the track output from the command station (in this case, the LT-50).

This circuit is only intended to be used to provide the signal from the LT-50 to other devices on the LCC-CAN.

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 command station such as the CS-105 (or another LT-50)

is connected to this panel through any of the other LCC jacks.
