Description of EFX configuration CVs
CV120 - Lighting effect configuration for output 1 (White wire).
CV121 - Lighting effect configuration for output 2 (Yellow wire).
CV122 - Lighting effect configuration for output 3 (Green wire).
CV123 - Lighting effect configuration for output 4 (Violet wire).
CV124 - Lighting effect configuration for output 5 (solder pad).
Each output wire can select from 15 different lighting effects by using its associated EFX
configuration CV. Pick the value for the CV from the table below, add 1 or 2 if you want
the effect to be directional (footnotes 2 and 3), then add 128 if you are using a white LED
for the effect. Ditch lights should not be made directional, they’re not dierectional in real
life.

Description of lighting effect
Value
for CV
1
- Functions are designed to use 12-16 volt 30-40ma incandescent lamps. If you are using a
white LED (with 1K limiting resistor) add 128 to the CV value.
2
- If you want the function to be active only in the reverse direction add 2 to the CV value
3
- If you want the function to be active only in the forward direction add 1 to the CV value
