Description

#339

Key for raising diesel

sound step

0 - 28

Function key that raises the diesel sound to the minimum
speed defined with CV #340.

See below if more keys for further speed raises are required.

#340

Diesel sound step

and possibly more

keys.

0 - 10

The minimum diesel step the sound is to be raised to with the
function key defined with CV #339.
This CV can be extended (to include more function keys (in
succession) by applying the formula:
Minimum speed step + (16 * (Number of keys -1))

Description

#315

Random generator

Minimum interval

0 - 255

0 - 255 sec

The random generator generates internal pulses in irregu-
lar intervals that are used to playback a sound file assigned
to the random generator. CV #315 defines the shortest
possible interval between two consecutive pulses.

Sound samples are assigned to the random generator Z1
with the help of the CV #300 = 101 procedure, see above!
By default, the compressor is assigned to Z1.

Special note to random generator Z1:

The random generator Z1 is optimized for the compressor
(which should be played back shortly after the train has
stopped); therefore the default assignment should be re-
tained or at the most be used for a different compressor.
CV #315 also determines the proper time the compressor
is started after coming to a stop!

#316

Random generator

Maximum interval

0 - 255

0 - 255 sec

CV #316 defines the maximum time interval between two
consecutive pulses of the random generator Z1 (that is
most often the start of the compressor after coming to a
stop); the actually occurring pulses between the values in
CV #315 and #316 are equally distributed.

#317

Random generator

Playback length

0 - 255

0 - 255 sec

The sound sample assigned to the random generator Z1
(most often the compressor) is played back for the
timespan defined in CV #317.

Installation and Wiring

General information:

There has to be enough

free space inside the vehicle

so that the decoder can be mounted without

exerting mechanical stress. Pay particular attention that no pressure is applied to the decoder when
the loco housing is being reinstalled

and the wires can’t get caught by movable parts.

All direct connections that are present in the original wiring configuration between the power pick-ups
(wheels and wipers) and the motor

must be isolated;

otherwise the motor end stage may get dam-

aged at power-up.

The same goes for the

headlights and other additional accessories,

which must be completely iso-

lated.

Do noise suppression components on a locomotive motor have
a negative effect on motor regulation?

Yes, sometimes . . .
