Posted by GTX765 on Saturday, November 17, 2007 9:30 PM
I am setting up my first DCC switch set up. I am using the LS150 from lenz. I got the wiring down but i still need an AC adapter. What adapter do i use?Dunce [D)] I need recommendations, oh and I am using a Zephyr as my DCC controller. Right now I have one LS150 and will add maybe one more once I firgure it out. I understand the intructions but need the power aspect of it.

Look on page 4 of the manual. It clearly states 16V AC Max input. This means you can use any power pack that has a 16V AC output or purchase a separate 16V transformer.

If you don't have the manual, go here;

You can use the AC terminals of an old DC power pack.  Or, in my case, I used the Atlas Generator that came with my Atlas Commander DCC system that I bought several years ago.
