7.2.Standing sounds and noises (CV171 to CV178)
During the standing phase a locomotive produces several different sounds from various functions and places
on the locomotive. The origins of these sounds can be air pumps, valves, pressure reducers, compressors,
hydraulic pumps, generators, and other components. The frequency of occurrence and the allocation of the
sounds may be changed at any time.
7.3.Random generator (CV179 to CV189)
Depending on the prototype of the locomotive
,
the standing sounds and noises are allocated and played back
realistically randomly. If required the sounds and noises may be changed or substituted by other sounds.
7.4.Signals before start (CV188, CV189)
Sounds to signal the imminent start of a locomotive may be allocated depending of the direction of the
movement.
7.5.Sound allocation for reed contacts (CV190, CV191)
Allocate sounds of your choice to the reed contacts (contact 1 and contact 2). Please note that you may choose
between basic reed contact triggering or direction related triggering which may be done with CV149.
7.6.Total volume level (CV200) and individual volume level (CV201 to CV212)
The eMOTION XLS Sound Decoder features volume control by CV-programming. The volume of the sound
may be changed by PoM programming at any time while operating a locomotive. In addition you may change
the volume of each and every sound and noise individually.
7.7.Volume Control Driving Sound (CV217 – CV220)
(since V1.3)

Effect of the CVs in an Electric Locomotive:
During the start of the operation of an electric locomotive the main switch, the pantographs or the compressor
are switched on before the cooling fan starts running. The volume of these sounds is controlled by CV217.
The cooling fan volume is set with CV218. The shut-down sound of the cooling fan is controlled by CV219.
The volume of the driving sound is adjusted by CV220.
•
Effect of the CVs in a Diesel Locomotive:
Before the main diesel engine is started auxiliary units are switched on, e.g. the auxiliary diesel or the oil
pump. The volume of the auxiliary units is controlled by CV217. The idle volume of the main diesel engine is
set with CV218, the driving sound volume is adjusted with CV220. The volume of the shut-down sound is
controlled by CV219.
•
Effect of the CVs in a Steam Locomotive:
The volume of the standing noise of a steam locomotive is set with CV218. The volume of the cylinder side
noise is controlled by CV219 and the volume of the main sound is adjusted with CV220.
