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, 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 e
ngines (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 gen-
erator 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 relative heavy smoke.
CV #139 = 255: The smoke generator is driven to its maximum under heavy acceleration, which
results in thick smoke.
Synchronized steam chuffs or typical diesel smoke (with exhaust fan):
The heating element of the smoke generator is connected
– as in the example above with the
“Seuthe” generator – on
FO1…FO8
and configured with the appropriate CV for the desired effect (i.e.
“72” for steam or “80” for diesel). The fan is connected to the function output
FO4
(in some decoders
on
FO2
); see chapter “Installation and wiring”.

Description
#133
Use of FO4 as
cam sensor output for
any sound module
or
FO4 as exhaust fan of
smoke generators of
steam engines.
0, 1
0
= 0 (Default): FO4 is used as a normal function output
and controlled by a function key, not for a cam sensor.
= 1: FO4 is triggered by a cam sensor (synchronously
to wheel rotations), usually for driving an exhaust fan.
This is achieved with either the “virtual” or a real cam
sensor
. Also see CV’s #267/268!
NOTE:
The fan operation is also determined by the
sound project.
NOTE: Large-Scale decoders (which are not subject of
this manual) have special outputs which offer more
setting options for fans.
