IMPORTANT NOTE:
If
the LV102 in your LZV100 system is not the current version (Version 5) and you
want the ability to run RailCom flawlessly in the future: the LZV MUST be sent
to us for an LV102 booster upgrade. Older LV101, LV100, or LV200s can not be
upgraded for RailCom. If you operate a older LZ, RailCom can be added using one
of our new LV102 boosters. To determine the version number use POM in CV 7
and write a value of 50 followed immediately by CLEAR) and enter a value of
96. After this sequence the LED will turn off and a few seconds later will
blink the version number. 5 blinks means you have the most current version.

Dealers are unable to process LH90's and LV102 internal booster (in the LZV) if needed-- see the note above regarding LV102 boosters.
To find your current LZ100 Version Number:
With an LH100 enter " F 9 8" The current version number is displayed in the LH100's display. With an LH90 or LH200 go to the menu "SYS" and enter "13" The current version number of the LZ100 is displayed in the LH90's or LH200's display.
The version 3.6 upgrade offer is only valid for LZ100 command stations, which have a current version of 3.0, 3.1, or 3.2. If you need an update of your LZ100 with version 1.x or 2.x to version 3.5, click please here.
Open the LZ100 by removing the screws on either the front or back plate and remove the printed circuit board from the case.
Remove the EEPROM (the part inside the white box n the figure below). This is very simple if you use a small screwdriver between bases and IC as a lever. Go slow as you do not want to bend the pins of the EEPROM.
Insert the new EEPROM into the socket you removed the old EEPROM from. Be careful to ensure that Pin 1 lines up properly. The position pin of the 1 lines up as shown on the diagram on the right beside the photo.
Replace the board back in the LZ100 case and replace the screws.
On power-up reset the system. This is accomplished by entering locomotive 00 in the handheld display and pressing the 4 key 25 times. Then power down and power up.
