“Effects” can be assigned to up to 15 function outputs in total, this is done with
CVs #125, #126, #127 … #132, #159, #160, #195 … #199
for Front light, Rear light, FO1 … FA6, FA7, FA8, FO9 … FO13
The values programmed into those effect CVs consist of
the actual
6-bit - effect - Code
and the
2-bit - direction- code
Bits 1,0 = 00: direction

Effect CVs
without effect
(effect code 000000) produce
direction dependent function outputs
EXAMPLE: CV #127 = 1, CV #128 = 2, CV #35 = 12: FO1, FO2 operate directional, ON/OFF with F1 key.
Note regarding ditch lights: those are only active, if the headlights (F0) and function F2 are turned on; this corresponds to the American prototype. 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 (00001110).
