The individual sounds can be switched on and off using special function keys on your digital
Command Station/Throttle. The allocation (or mapping) of the various sounds to individual special
function keys can be modified using CV’s 903 - 915. Decoders are delivered with sounds initially
allocated as indicated in the above table.
Additionally, the mute switching function can be mapped to a function key using sound #8. As
the locomotive drives out of the visible range of a model railway, e.g. into a shadow station, then
the entire sound of the locomotive can be softly faded out by switching on this special function
(preset at the factory to function f8). The sound continues to be generated by the module in this
“faded out” condition in accordance with the respective driving conditions. If the sound is
gradually faded in by subsequently switching the special function off, then the sound again will
adapt to the driving conditions in effect at that moment.
Volume
Speaker volume can be changed via CV 902. As shipped from the factory, the volume is set to
its maximum level.
Configuring the dynamic change of sound
Settings which affect the sound pertaining to the immediate operating (driving) condition can be
modified to accommodate the type of locomotive being used. These settings affect the change
of sound with load changes (e.g., uphill and downhill), the speed threshold for triggering the
squealing brake sound and the switching threshold for the electrical exhaust with an electric
locomotive (E-lok).
CV 925 is used to define load sensitivity. If a value of 1 is programmed here, then the sound reacts
very quickly to uphill and/or downhill driving, whereas a value of 8 produces a retarded reaction.
CV 921 sets the minimum trigger level for a change of sound for a load increase (going uphill)
and CV 922 controls the minimum trigger level for a change of sound for a load decrease (driving
downhill). All values depend on the locomotive decoder used as well as the locomotive itself,
and therefore must be determined by experimentation.
CV 924 sets the speed threshold at which the brake squealing sound is produced when the speed
of the locomotive is reduced.
CV 923 specifies the speed threshold at which point an electric locomotive (E-lok) produces
sound for its cooling exhaust.
The values for these CV’s are preset at the factory for Uhlenbrock locomotive decoders for
“common” HO locomotives, and can be easily modified to suit other locomotives.
Controlling several sound or special function modules from a
locomotive decoder
Up to three sound or special function modules can be controlled through a single SUSI interface.
CV 897 is used to allocate each module’s own CV address range, thus allowing each module
to be programmed independently. To accomplish this, each module must first be connected
individually to the locomotive decoder. Its own CV address range is determined by assigning the
value 1, 2 or 3 to CV 897. Once all modules are connected, each can be addressed and
programmed within its own CV address range. The CV to be modified will depend on the CV
address range as specified in the list of CV’s at the end of this document. Please you note that
the explanations in the preceding sections refer to address range #1 (CV’s 900 – 925). Use the
appropriate CV address from the list of CV’s provided in the accompanying table.
Programming
The Configuration Variables (CV’s) form the basis for controlling and selecting all possible
features and functions of the decoder in accordance with the DCC standard. The sound module
is connected to a loco decoder and could be programmed by those methodes which are provided
by the loco decoder. In the case of an Uhlenbrock loco decoder the sound module can be
programmed with the Intellibox, DCC Command Stations and Märklin Central Units.
Programming with the Intellibox
We recommend that, regardless of the format by which the locomotive decoder will be ultimately
operated, the sound module, if connected to an Uhlenbrock locomotive decoder, should be
programmed using the programming menu for DCC decoders. The procedure for doing this can
be found in the appropriate chapter in the Intellibox manual.
