Legacy Models Intelligent Detector (LM-iD)

The Legacy LM-iD is an intelligent Inductive detector that is easy to install, trouble free and exceptionally reliable.

LM-iD works everywhere: On layouts built in every common modelling scale, with every brand of DCC system and with every computer control app IO input that can sense a high/low detection.

LM-iD is quick and simple: Every modeller can have LM-iD set up and operating reliably in just a few minutes.

LM-iD is super-reliable: Once installed it is exceptionally stable and requires no adjustment.

LM-iD reliably detects anything that alters the electrical state in the section: Examples are powered items such as Locomotives, illuminated coaches or rolling stock with resistive wheelsets. Even just a single tail lamp or a lamp in a Guards van or Caboose.

LM-iD is simple to install: It needs no soldering or complex set-up. It can be added later or at the time of layout creation. Just create a gap in one rail covering the area you wish to detect and pass the dropper wire which goes from the track power bus to that rail through the hole in the LM-iD coil. No other set-up or fiddling to do. It is that simple.

LM-iD is very easy to connect: Unlike other inductive detectors, every output uses screw terminals and we have even made it possible to easily add an external panel LED and directly connect to and operate both low voltage logic-level things and higher current items such as relays. (LM-ID will act without outside power, but powering external devices needs a power source added. This can be your DCC bus, or a simple regulated DC wall plug from your bottom drawer).

LM-iD can be used time after time and there is no limit to the number of LM-iD detectors on your layout because they draw almost no power from your DCC system.

Legacy LM-iD is available in single packs or packs of three. One-year warranty (but it won’t wear out and we don’t think you will be able to break it)
