In addition to the 3 light outputs
,
the eMOTION XLS Sound Decoder features 8 separate function outputs which
may be used in different ways. Five outputs are located on the upper side as clamps, two additional outputs on
a jack (F7/F8) and
one on the rear side as solderable contact (F6).
The factory setting
of the light and function outputs gives full track voltage to them. With 24 V on the track the
outputs will deliver 24 V when activated.
The voltage supplied by the outputs 5 to 8 is 5Volts, and the maximum allowable load is 10 mAmps.
The function (e.g. F-key assignment, light display according to driving direction, flashing and short term
function) as well as the voltage of each output may be programmed by setting the respective CVs. For details
please review the CV-table.
The outputs may be controlled by NMRA/DCC commands or with serial LGB
®
pulse strings. The light outputs
and the outputs F1 to F4 are dimmable.
NOTE: The proper operation of the light functions depends on the selected speed steps. In case CV29 (speed
steps) does not carry the same setting as the digital system the lights may flicker or might not work at all (not
relevant for 128 speed steps)
3.6.Power buffer hook up
The eMOTION XLS features a separate connector for power buffers (Massoth 8 8151501).
The power buffer bridges brief power interruptions caused by contaminated tracks or bad power supply on
switches. The power buffer is to be connected to the connectors marked “+24V“ (rt), “GND“ (sw) und “BC“ (ws)
on the decoder board. The maximum charging Amperage is 500mAmps.
The power buffer works in analog as well as in digital operation. In analog operation the power buffer works
fully automatic. After the locomotive has stopped, the power buffer switches off the decoder after the standing
noises were released.
The lag time of the sound may be set in digital operation in CV 129, in analog mode in CV 130.
3.7.Reed contacts to trigger bell and whistle by track magnets
You may utilize up to two reed contacts to trigger sounds with track magnets. The CV configuration (CV 190,
191) defines which sound is to be triggered by which reed contact. A special feature is the possibility to trigger a
sound depending on the driving direction (to activate use CV149 Bit4).
