The effect-

direction dependent function outputs
without using a special effect
(with effect code 000000).
EXAMPLE:
CV #127 = 1, CV #128 = 2, CV #35 = 12 (FO1, FO2 operate directional, ON/OFF with F1 key).

Note to ditch lights: Ditch lights are only active when headlights and function F2 (#3 on Zimo cab) are on, which is prototypical for North American railroads. The
ditch lights will only be working if the applicable bits in CV #33 and 34 are on (the definition in CV #125 - 128 in itself is not enough but a necessary addition).
Example: If ditch lights are defined for FO1 and FO2, the bits 2 and 3 in CV #33 and 34 have to be set accordingly (i.e. CV # 33 = 13 (00001101), CV #34 = 14

3.23 Configuration of Smoke Generators
(for sound decoders)
Smoke generator without fan (Example: Seuthe 18V):
In addition to a simple ON/OFF function via a function output of your choice, the smoke intensity can
also be programmed to change between
standstill, or cruising
and
acceleration
.
This requires the smoke generator to be connected to one of the function outputs
FO1…FO8
(FO7
and FO8 only with SW version 34 or higher)
and the selected output must be programmed for the de-
sired effect with the associated “effect CV” (with CV #127 for FO1, CV #128 for FO2 etc.); in this case
for load dependent smoke of steam engines (effect code “72”) or load dependent smoke of diesels
(effect code “80”).
The smoke generator characteristic as defined by CV #137, 138 and 139 is used for the relevant
func
tion output. These CV’s must be programmed (with appropriate values) otherwise the smoke
generator will not produce any smoke.
EXAMPLE: - Typical characteristic for a track voltage set around 20V with above smoke generator:
CV #137 = 70…90: little smoke at standstill.
CV #138 = 200: The smoke intensity is increased to about 80% of its maximum capacity beginning
with speed step 1 (at very low speed), which produces relatively heavy smoke.
