Lenz LF100XF, function decoder, and LI100F, computer interface, pending release

Lenz announced the release of the LF100XF function decoder and the LI100F-NA computer interface. Shipments to dealers should begin in several weeks.

The LF100XF is a 4 function decoder. The functions act very much like the new LE130XF functions complete with special lighting effects. As in the LE130XF, the C and D outputs can be mapped from F1-F8. New on the LF100XF is that the A and B outputs if not used for special lighting effects can be mapped to F4-F12.

The LF100XF is rated at a total max current of .4 amps. Output A and B are rated at 150 mA each and output C and D are rated at 300 mA. It is about the size of the LE077XF and can be used in all scales from Z to Large Scale. The function outputs have protection diodes so low cost relays can easily be installed for high current functions.

The MSRP for the LF100XF function decoder will be $22.95. Tony's $19.50, Tony's/4 $18.50, Tony's/10 $17.50 all Mix and Match.

LI100F-NA

The North American version of the LI100F computer interface will begin shipment to dealers in the next two weeks starting with the existing backorders. The LI100F-NA has several improvements from the LI100 which it replaced including hardware flow control and support for 19.2Kb/s. The MSRP for the LI100F-NA computer interface will be $230. Tony's $189.95.
