3. Important - Please read first!

Congratulations  on  your  purchase  of  the  ESU  smoke  generator. 

This guide will help you to connect your ESU decoder with a step 

by step module. Please read this manual carefully before installati-

on in order to avoid defects!

The smoke generator is designed exclusively for use with electrical-

• 

model train layouts provided. It may only operate the components 

described in these instructions.
The smoke generator in operation is very hot (above 100°C).  Avo-

• 

id touching the unit and select an installation location so that the-

re may be no damage due to the excessive temperature.
Do not turn the smoke generator on when it is filled to the top. 

• 

Leaks of oil and steam can cause burns.
All connections must only be made when the unit is not in ope-

• 

ration.
Adhere to the principles as outlined in this manual.

• 

Protect from moisture and humidity.

• 

No cable must ever touch the metal parts of the locomotive.

• 

When assembling the locomotive be sure that no cable be squee-

• 

zed or short circuits may occur.

4. General characteristics

The two ESU smoke generators provide realistic smoke and steam 

cloud  to  your  models.  An  integrated  control  operates  both  the 

fan  motor  and  the  heating  of  the  smoke  generator.  A  sensor 

maintains  the  desired  heating  temperature  independent  of  rail 

voltage and constant degree of filling and prevents blowing with 

an empty tank. 
The smoke generator can be used with both steam and diesel mo-

dels. The smoke generators are designed for optimal use with our 

LokSound XL V4.0 decoder. Attached to a decoder the desired the 

amount of smoke is precisely adapted to sound sequencing. When 

connected to an ESU decoders no adjustments or programming 

has to made to the smoke generator.
If using another decoder the smoke generator can be connected 

on  the  Susi  interface.  In  this  mode,  however,  fewer  options  are 

available. SUSI CV programming must also be done in this

case.

5. Scope of delivery

This allows you to find the best option for your model smoke ge-

nerator, two versions are available.

4.1. 54678 track «0»

The  «little»  smoke  generator  with  its  dimensions  of  40  x  25  x 

29mm for small lane 1 and lane 0 locomotives.  In this case the 

electronics are separate from the mechanism with a wire harness

attached. The following items are included:

Smoke generator with attached, private electronic board

• 

Wiring harness

• 

PVC hose with 7mm diameter
