Characteristics of the LokSoundXL decoderand coreless motors. It may be adjusted to the eachindividual motor. Your locomotive will always keepthe selected speed, no matter how large the load isor whether it is traveling up or down gradients.Eight (!) function outputs: In addition to the twolighting outputs, another six function outputs areavailable for your choice of operation: you mayswitch on smoke generators or interior lighting oruncouple trains by pressing a key at your centralprocessing unit or hand held controller! Withblinking light effects and individually dimmable lampsyour trains look real and give you a lot of enjoyment.Brake tracks: LokSoundXL decoders understand(and react to) all available brake systems: besidesthe Lenz brake generator, Märklin® brake track issupported too.Protecting functions: the motor output as well asall function outputs are protected against overloads.Analogue operation: LokSoundXL decoders maybe operated on AC- and DC systems withoutproblems.Easy programming: Even with Märklin® 6021 allfunctions may be changed easily without openingthe locomotive.•A digital, two-tone sound module with uniquecharacteristics:Prototype sounds: sounds of prototype locomotiveswere sampled using high qualitymicrophones and recorded digitally onto a memorymodule. Thus your locomotives sound as accurateas the prototype!Two channels: in addition to steam impact or dieselsounds, a further sound may be generated at thesame time. Steam whistles, bells, horns, etc. willsound just like the original.Steam, diesel and electric locomotive sounds arepossible: LokSoundXL may imitate every type oflocomotive you may think of. For each type oflocomotive there is a prototypical operationalsequence:Steam locomotive: There are two, three and fourcylindersteam locomotives, whose steam impactsincrease in frequency as the speed of the modellocomotive increases!Diesel locomotive: The engine may be turned onand off and rotates while stationary or driving basedupon the speed of the locomotive! The LokSoundXLdecoder may now also support Diesel electriclocomotives.E-Locomotives: Historical electric locomotivessupply sound effects that are well worth listeningto: from the motion of the pantograph to theclicking and cracking of the switchgear duringacceleration! Even a wheel synchronized squeakingof the brakes is possible!Sounds by pressing a key: Pressing a function key(F1 to F12) emits the sounds!Random noises: Both while stationary and whilemoving, sounds such as air pump, water pump,coal shovels, compressed air discharging, etc. atrandom intervals controlled by you.Chapter 3Connection of the LokSoundXL decoders3.1 Preparing installation of the decoderThe locomotive must be tested for excellent operation:only a locomotive with impeccable mechanicalperformance may take maximum advantage of thedecoder. A locomotive that does not performsmoothly will not operate satisfactorily even with thebest decoder. Replace or clean worn out motor brushes,check wheel contacts, bulbs etc.Remove the locomotive from the track, disconnectand isolate the motor. There must be NO electricalcontact between the motor and the rail pickup.The LokSoundXL decoders have fixed dimensions;make sure, that the decoder fits easily into thelocomotive. Do not use any pressure when replacingthe outer body onto the frame and touch no wires.Further, make certain that flexible parts such astransmissions and trucks are not obstructed by wires.Fasten the decoder inside the locomotive with doublesided tape, hot glue or screws. The decoder gets verywarm during operation. Never pack the LokSound2XLdecoder in foam or similar materials. This impedes aircirculation and causes overheating.The LokSoundXL Decoder comes as an opencircuit board that freatly reduces overheating.Handle the LokSoundXL module with care.Electronic components are sensitive toelectrostatic loads: always make sure that yourwork place is grounded. If necessary, use anearthed wristband.4 LokSoundXL User Manual V2.1 05/2002

Connecting a DC or coreless motorWhen installing the decoder you must not allowany metal part of the locomotive to touch thesurface components of the decoder.The LokSoundXL module has more connectionsthan common decoders, which are needed forsound generation and function outputs.LokSoundXL comes with two robust terminalblocks to which you can connect the wires ofyour locomotive. Please note when connectingthe wires to the terminals that:LokSoundXL decoder has two terminal block (No.1 and No. 2): make sure you are using the correctterminal block!Make sure that the wire diameter is big enoughfor the terminal (at least 0,20 mm 2 ).Solder the ends of the wires or crimp them.Make sure that no short circuits occur whileconnecting the wires to the terminals.Use a suitable screwdriver.Hold the termimals while turning the screws toavoid pressure on the circuit board.Check every wire for good connection (pull lightlyon the wire).Please check all connections with an ohmmeter.3.2 General circuit diagramFigures 2 and 3 show the general connection schemeof LokSoundXL decoders:The left terminal block (No. 1) has all connections thatare needed for driving- and sound operation. Theright terminal (No. 2) is only needed for functionoutputs.Never mix up those two terminal blocks and alwaysmake sure the connections are correct. If you connectit the wrong way you may destroy the module.Connect right rail to terminal 1-1, connect left rail toterminal 1-2.Use terminals 1-3, 1-4 and 1-6 for the motor. Whenconnecting DC or coreless motors only use terminals1-3 and 1-6. See paragraph 3.3 and 3.4 for furtherdetails.A wheel sensor can be connected to terminals 1-4and 1-5. See chapter 3.9 for more details.Connect the loudspeaker to terminals 1-8 and 1-9.See paragraph 3.6 for installation.Terminal 2 is only for lighting and special functions.Please make sure that all outputs are connected againstterminals 2-9 (positive supply voltage). Please seechapter 3.7 and 3.8 for details.Always install a capacitor of at least 47nF in parallel tothe motor terminals. See figure 1 for an optimalexample of RFI suppression. Please note there areseveral methods of RFI suppression: we recommendto leave any suppressor (e.g. inductors) in thelocomotive.Please check all connections with an ohmmeter,particularly if there are any short circuits betweenmotor- and current pick-ups.3.3 Connecting a DC or coreless motorAlways refer to the general wiring diagram on page 6and bear in mind to keep any inductors connected.For each type of motor (Buehler, Mabuchi, Faulhaber)there are different parameters needed for load control.They have to be adapted to optimize drivingperformance (see chapter 4.2.2).For the motor connection use terminal 1-3 and1-6, terminals in between are not connected.Motor10nF10nFfigure 1: RFI suppression147nF3.4 Connecting a universal motor (AC motor)For easy conversion of older gauge-I locomotives withuniversal motors (AC motor) the motors can bedirectly connected to the LokSoundXL-decoder (seeFigure 4).Connect the two motor terminals to terminals 1-3 aswell as 1-5. Exchanging both wires will changedirection of travel.LokSoundXL User Manual V2.1 05/20025

You may order these as spare parts fromMärklin® under article number 516520.For optimal operation the motor tact frequency hasto be reduced from 22kHz to 87Hz. To achieve thisset CV 9 to value 204.Please note:If a universal motor is connected, Back EMFControl will be automatically deactivated. Theprinciple of Back EMF Control does not workwith universal motors.The speaker must be installed in such a way that thesound waves are not unduly blocked.Please handle speakers with extreme care: don'tput pressure on or touch the membrane. Thespeaker's magnets are very strong. Keep all metalitems away and secure the speaker firmly whensoldering. The soldering iron may pull the speakerdue the magnetic field and destroy it.Connect the speaker to the twoterminals 1-8 and 1-9 of theLokSoundXL module. Makesure that you use a smallsoldering iron (max. 20 W) andonly heat the marked spot asshown in the figure (close tosolder herethe edge of the small contactplate). Polarity is notimportant. Make sure that no solder is dropped ontothe membrane.An optimal sound effect is achieved by putting thespeaker into a sound chamber, which is supplied withthe speaker.This will increase the soundspeakerpressure and channel thedirection of the sound.Without sound chamber thesound effect may beunsatisfactory. Feedsound chamberthe speaker wiresthrough a small hole inthe sound chamber.3.5 Connecting the speakerThe LokSoundXL decoder may only be used with thespeakers offered by ESU electronic solutions ulmGmbH or with speakers with the same data (1 Watt,16 - 32 Ohms). The use of speakers by others maycause considerable distortion and in extreme caseseven destroy the LokSoundXL decoder. We alsocannot recommend speakers that are actually designedfor use with our H0 decoder.The correct position of the speaker is crucial to achievehigh quality sound. A speaker that is installed withouta resonance chamber will not generate good sound.Therefore carefully select the location and soundchamber for the speaker.3.6 Function outputsLokSoundXL decoder has 8 (!) function outputs. Twoare factory-set for directional headlights, the othersix (AUX1 to AUX6) can be used for auxiliary loads.With LokSoundXL you may dim the lamps in 15 stepsto adjust the brightness optimally to your model. Thebrightness of each output may be adjusted separately.See chapter 4.2.4.2. Every function output can beset to various blinking light effects. See chapter4.2.4.3.All function outputs can be individually loaded with0,6A current but cannot exceed a total load of 2,0A.8 LokSoundXL User Manual V2.1 05/2002

Connecting headlightsIf the total current exceeds 2.0A or a short circuitoccurs, then the overload protection switchesoff all function outputs. Once this problem isfixed all outputs are switched back on.3.6.1 Connecting headlightsConnect headlights to terminal 2 as shown in figure3. The light outputs provide the full, rectified trackvoltage (between 14 and 25V depending on the typeof transformer). Therefore only use lamps for yourlocomotive suitable for this voltage.In older style locomotives you may find that lamps areconnected to the chassis. (ie.: Märklin®). In this casedon’t make a connection from the lamp back to theterminal 2-9 and the circuit will be completed via thechassis.LED's or 1,5V-lamps are used in many locomotivesand can be used with LokSoundXL decoders: Use aresistor of about 100 Ohm/0,5 Watt which has to besoldered between function output and lamp, for eachlight output that you want to connect to LED's or1,5V-lamps. Additionally you have to lower thebrightness of the individual function output per CV.See 4.2.4.3.When using 1,5V-lamps it’s not sufficient just toreduce the brightness per CV: for a short momentthe lamp will get the full voltage due to the usedPWM-mechanism.3.6.2 Connecting auxiliary functionsYou can use outputs AUX1 to AUX6 of LokSoundXLdecoders for functions such as operating a smokegenerator, switching lights, Swiss lighting mode etc.Please note that the outputs are used for switching ofresistive loads like lamps, smoke generators, relays.Because of possible voltage peaks due to inductivitydon’t connect the motor directly to the output, usea relay.Each output can be connected to terminal 2-9or to the chassis.Make sure that the sum of all currents for thefunction outputs does not exceed the permittedcurrent rating and avoid short circuits betweenoutputs. Although outputs of LokSoundXLdecoders are protected, high voltage on theterminals or a short circuit may cause damage.LokSoundXL User Manual V2.1 05/20023.7 Connecting a wheel sensorTo synchronize the steam chuff an external sensormay (but does not have to be) used. The sensor inputis terminal 1-7 on the LokSoundXL decoder. TheLokSoundXL decoder supports reed switches ormechanical contacts as well as Hall sensors. In manylocomotives mechanical wheel sensors have been fittedin the factory (e.g. Bachmann or Märklin®).3.7.1 Connecting a reed contact with magnetIf a reed contact is to be used a miniature magnet(available at specialized hobby shops) must be attachedto the driving wheel axle in such a way that the magnetreleases the reed contact once every turn. Miniaturereed switches have been proven to be very reliable.They may be obtained at any electronic specialist store.Suitable magnets may be bought at model train shops.(e.g. Mini-track magnets) which might have to beshaped to fit.Miniature magnetdriving axlereed switchfigure 7: connecting a wheel sensor1-11-21-31-41-51-61-71-81-93.7.2 Connecting a mechanical contactMany locomotives come with a factory fittedmechanical contact that is connected to terminal 1-4and 1-7.All double pole (mechanical) contacts that are isolated(not in contact with the chassis) may be used.3.7.3 Connecting a Hall sensorA Hall sensor is an electronic module that reacts to achanging magnetic field (like the reed switch but more9

Set Up and installation of the decoderfigure 8: 8 connecting a Hall sensorBefore you can use the wheel sensor certain CVshave to be set. See chapter 5.2.43.7.4 Connecting auxiliary reed switchesAs from version 2.0 the LokSoundXL decoder hastwo additional inputs. You can use them to releasesound effects with the help of trackside magnets.Just connect a reed sensor to the inputs and place amagnet at the appropriate location on the layout.The required sound effect will be activated every timethe locomotive passes the magnet.With the aid if these inputs users of LGB MZS withLokmaus may activate the multitude of sound effectsgenerated by LokSoundXL decoders.Both inputs REED-IN1 and REED-IN2 shareterminal 2-7 as well as 2-8 with function outputsAUX5 and AUX6. If you want to use the REED-IN functions then AUX5 and 6 are not available.Before you can use reed sensors certain CVshave to be set. See chapter 5.2.7After successful installation you may operate thedecoder.But first you will find out how to check yourinstallation. In chapter 4.1 you will find instruction ofhow to operate the decoder in analogue mode. Inchapter 4.2 you learn how to operate it with variousdigital systems.Before changing any decoder settings (e.g. locomotiveaddress, sound volume) we recommend to readchapter 5. There you find out which parameters areavailable and how they may be altered with thecommonly available DCC command centers.After installation you may test the LokSoundXLdecoder as follows.Please inspect all connections carefully using anohmmeter: are there any short circuits betweenthe motor terminals and the wheel pick-ups?Have all connections between motor terminalsand the chassis been isolated? Are bulbsconnected properly and isolated from thechassis? Is the decoder installed safely to avoidcontact with the chassis? Is there sufficient spacearound the LokSoundXL decoder to allow forcooling? Could the LokSound 2 decoder or anyof the wires be squeezed when refitting thehousing? May sound emit from the locomotivewithout obstruction?10 LokSoundXL User Manual V2.1 05/2002

Analogue / digital operationAfter you have checked above points you may switchon the power. We strongly recommend to carry outthis initial test on a track section with overloadprotection. Programming tracks of modern digitalsystems offer this protection. Our LokProgrammeralso offers extremely reliable overload protection.•The pre-set locomotive address is 03.•Does the locomotive travel in both directions?•Turn the lights on: are they operating correctly?•You activate sound by pressing function key F1,either the Diesel starts or you hear steam sounds.When pressing function key F2 you should hear thehorn, whistle or bell, etc.4.1 Analogue operation4.1.1 DC OperationDC operation using a conventional controller is possiblewithout any problems but has one limitation. Thelocomotive will only start moving when the trackvoltage reaches7-8V.Maximum speed will be reachedwhen turning the controller to the limit. This isabsolutely normal and is due to the minimum voltagethe LokSoundXL decoder requires for operation.As factory default, sound effects cannot be activatedin DC operation.4.1.2 AC operation with conventionalMärklin® controllerOperation with conventional Märklin® controllersworks as usual: speed is controlled by turning theknob.To change direction the knob has to be turned to theleft beyond the stop position.Please note:The locomotive must have completely stoppedbefore changing direction. Never changedirection of a moving locomotive!Press the knob slightly longer than usual (about0,5 sec) in order to activate the command reliably.As factory default, sound effects cannot be used withthis type of operation.LokSoundXL User Manual V2.1 05/20024.2 Digital operation4.2.1 Using Märklin® 6021The LokSoundXL decoder may be used with allMärklin® products or compatible systems.The functions F1 to F4 can only be activated with the"New Motorola Format". To activate this format putthe DIP switches 1 and 2 of the 6021 to the upper("On") position.4.2.2 With DCC (Lenz, Intellibox, etc)Remove capacitors that may be connected tothe track section (e.g. in ROCO connecting track).They may impede normal operation of thedecoder.LokSoundXL can be run with any system that conformsto DCC. The automatic speed step detection has beentested with the following appliances: ROCO Lokmaus2, Uhlenbrock Intellibox, Lenz Digital plus V2.3, ZIMOMX1.The detection does not work properly whenoperated with Lenz Digital plus V3.0 if you wishto run 14 speed steps. Use 28/128 speed steps.Each time that the LokSoundXL decoder receives acurrent (i.e. after the system is switched on) and thelight is switched on it tries to detect the speed stepssettings. If you switchover the speed steps settingsduring operation you must briefly switch off thecurrent supply to the decoder so that the automaticmode functions as desired. The detection takes up to30 seconds.The detection can be switched off using CV 49 (pleaserefer to section 7.1).Operation with LGB Multi Train System (MTS)LokSoundXL decoders also support the LGB CommandControl system. Both Lok-Mouse and Lok-Handy maybe used, but they have to be activated first.LGB does not utilize the function keys specified in theDCC standards but has designed a procedure based11

Adjusting decoder parameterson multiple pressing of the F1 button: e.g. if youpress F1 three times this will activate function F3.Therefore it is essential to “tell” the decoder, that ithas to count how often the F1 button makes contact.By setting bit 6 in CV 49 the LokSoundXL decoder willsupport the LGB operating mode.Let’s assume you want to use LGB MZS and activateload control as well. Simply enter the value 65 in CV49.5. Adjusting decoder parametersChapter 5 provides information on how to changethe settings of LokSoundXL decoders. Please take yourtime to read and understand the occasionallysomewhat complex explanations.After the introduction into the world of decoderparameters (called CVs) in chapter 5.1, you will find allyou want to know about which CVs have effect theproperties of LokSoundXL decoders in chapter 5.2.Paragraph 5.3 explains how CVs may be set with variousDCC and also the Märklin® command stations.You find a complete list of all CVs in chapter 7.1.5.1 CVs of the LokSoundXL decodersLokSoundXL decoders are compatible with the NRMA/ DCC standard. That means, that all parameters whichchange the properties of LokSoundXL decoders, arestored in so called CVs (Configuration Variables).LokSoundXL decoders support 121 variables. This largenumber of CVs shows the multitude of possibilitiesavailable with LokSoundXL decodersTo manage this large number of settings werecommend the use of our LokProgrammer. WithLokProgrammer all CVs may be programmed withease and comfort by using a PC. Please note that CVsthat are not programmed properly could impede theperformance of the decoder.All CVs may be programmed without theLokProgrammer by using any DCC system that isNMRA/DCC compatible. Märklin® 6021 is alsosuitable. Chapter 5.3 explains, how it works.In each CV values from 0 to 255 may be stored. Theproperties of the decoder change depending on thestored value.If you have a look at the list of CVs in chapter 7.1 youwill notice that most CVs have number values. CV 1for example contains the locomotive address. This mayvary between 1 and 127 (see range of values). Thefactory setting is 3. Please note that not all CVs havefactory settings. Some CV values are different fordifferent sound effects.Other CVs represent storage locations that managevarious functions at the same time (mostly turn onand off). CVs 29 and 49 are good examples: for theseCVs the value has to be calculated individually,depending on the setting you want:First you decide which option should to be turned onor off. In the column "value" you find 2 numbers foreach option. The value 0 indicates the option is switchedoff, otherwise the value may range from 1 to 32. Addall values of the individual options to get the value ofthe CV.Example 1: 1 Let's assume, you want to use theIntellibox DCC with 128 speed steps and analoguerecognition should be active (because you want tocontrol some locos analogue mode). All otheroptions are turned off. CV 29 shows the value 6 (0+2+4+0=6).Example2: You want to activate the Märklin®brake module, Back EMF should be activated. YousetCV49to3(1+2+0=3).Werecommend todeactivate analogue recognition in CV 49, since theMärklin® brake track and analogue operation shouldnot be activated at the same time. You set CV 29 to0(0+0+0+0)=0.Example3: You want to turn the volume of thedecoder down. Set CV 63 to 1.5.2 Important settings of LokSoundXLDetails of the most important CVs may be found inchapter 5.2. Please study these instructions carefullybefore you do any program changes. Carefuldeliberation will help you to find the optimal settingsto achieve the desired effects with your LokSoundXLdecoder.5.2.1 Back EMF control (load control)The LokSoundXL decoders utilize second generationload control which, when using DC motors, assuresconstant speed independent of the actual load.

Diming the lamps•Dimmer: normal, continuously switched on load•Blinking light: the output blinks with an adjustablefrequency•Blinking light inverse: the output blinks as usualbut in opposite sequence.This permits to activateblinking lights in opposite sequence (lamp1=on,while lamp 2 = off and vice versa).Starting with CV 114 each output has a CV that youcan program with the desired mode. Please note thatyou may deactivate each output with "0" if not needed.The light outputs are factory pre-set to "on". Allother function outputs AUX1 to AUX6 may beswitched off by factory default, depending onthe type of LokSoundXL-Decoder.Dimming of lampsWith LokSoundXL you may dim the lamps in 15 stepsto adjust the brightness optimally to your model. Thelamps are pulsed, i.e.: they are continuously switchedon and off. The brightness of each output may beadjusted separately. The desired dimming value (0 to15) has to be added to the value of the correspondingControl-CV (113 to 120) that defines the functionmode.Blinking frequency and duration of "brightphase"If a function output has been set to "blinking" or"blinking inverse", the duration of the "bright period"(defines blinking frequency) and the on / off ratiohave to be taken from CV 121 (see paragraph 7.1).The "bright period" is adjustable in 16 steps. It is alwaysa multiple of 0,184 sec.The On / Off ratio is adjustable in 16 steps from 1/16to 16/16. A ratio of 8/16 indicates that the lightoutput remains "on" for the same period as it is "off".The value to be entered into the Control-CV 121 iscalculated as follows:Duration of "On" period (value: 0-15)*16+On/Off ratioExamples:•Example 1: smoke generator at AUX1 and F5.Let's assume you want to control a smoke generatorwith function key F5 that should be connected tooutput AUX1. Please refer to the installationinstructions in chapter 2.5. The output AUX1 mustbe activated and assigned to the F5 key:First we activate the output. In this example wewant to use the dimming function (the output mustbe active continuously) and set at 100% brightness.CV 115 controls output AUX1 (see paragraph 7.1).The value to be entered into CV 115 is calculated asfollows: 16 (for dimming function) + 15 (formaximum brightness) = 31.Now we have to assign function key F5 to outputAUX1: see figure 12: Control-CV 39 controls theF5 key (third column). In CV 39 we enter thosefunctions that should be switched with the F5-key.We look at the table in figure 12, locate theintersection of the row for F5 and column AUX1and find the number (in this case 1). Once we enterthis value in CV 39 the F5key controls the outputAUX1.•Example 2: blinking light at AUX6 and F8We want to connect a “blinking light” to AUX6 andcontrol it via the F8 function key. The brightnessshould be set to 6/15 of the maximum value. The“bright period” and the “on / off” ratio are set asdescribed beforeFirst we have to activate output AUX6 and set it to“blinking”. We achieve this by entering 32 (forblinking) +5(=6/15 of maximum brightness) =37 in CV 120.Next we assign output AUX6 to the F8 key. Weenter the functions to be controlled via F8 into CV42. Again we consult the table in figure 12, findthe intersection between row F8 and column AUX6and enter the number from the table in CV 42 (inthis case 32). Now the F8 key controls the outputAUX6Please note that sound slot 6 and AUX6 outputare coupled: both the blinking light and sound,memorized in sound slot 6, are activated and caneasily be modified using the LokProgrammer anda PC.•Example 3: Deceleration on / off with F5Here we want to activate / deactivate theacceleration/deceleration with F5. This functionrepresents a "logical" function and not a "physical"output and thus does not have to be configured.We only have to assign function "deactivatedeceleration" to the F5 key by entering value 4 inCV 39 (see figure 12)16 LokSoundXL User Manual V2.1 05/2002

Sound adaptionWe recommend a PC and LokProgrammer forprogramming function outputs: the LoksoundXL-Decoder offers so many possible combinations that itis difficult to manage these without a computer.5.2.4 Sound adaptationLokSoundXL decoders offer many possibilities to adjustthe sound effects. All parameters are stored in CVsthat, like all others, may be modified.Adaptation of revolutions for diesel and pitch forsteamThe revolutions of a diesel motor may be modifiedwith 2 CVs:•Enter the revolutions of the idling diesel motor inCV 50. The standard value of 128 permitsreproduction of the sound at original speed, whilevalue 64 reduces this to half speed.•Enter the revolutions at maximum speed in CV 51:value 255 means double the original speed.Use the same parameters when adapting the pitch ofthe chuffs for steam locomotives: the interval of thechuffs should be shorter and vary in pitch withincreasing speed.Settings for diesel or electric locomotivesTo simulate a diesel or electric locomotive the CVs 52and 53 have to be set to 0.Special settings for steam locomotivesTo simulate a steam locomotive you have tosynchronize the steam chuffs with the revolutions ofthe driving wheels. There are 2 ways:•With an external wheel sensor•Speed step dependentDepending on the method selected, certain CVs haveto be set accordingly. LokSoundXL is factory pre-setto speed step depend adjustment.Using the wheel sensorThe wheel sensor must be connected as described inchapter 3.7.3 Then two more settings have to bedone: set CV 52 to value 255 and enter a value > =1in CV 53. CV 53 defines after how many pulses by theLokSoundXL User Manual V2.1 05/2002sensor the next steam chuff will be reproduced.Normally one chuff per pulse should be played,therefore CV 53 should read "1".Speed step dependent methodWith this method the interval between chuffs is setwith CV 52 and CV 53. This method is recommendedif an external wheel sensor cannot be used. Theadaptation of this variable to the combination of wheel/ gearbox may require some tests. It pays to spendsome time in order to achieve an optimal result. Thisfeature works best with Back EMF control. WithMärklin® locomotives with universal motor (Back EMFis always switched off) only a compromise may bereached. In this case we recommend the use of anexternal wheel sensor.For CV adaptation proceed as follows:•Set CV 52 to 100 and CV 53 to 200.•Put the locomotive onto the track and drive withspeed step 1 (sound is switched on).•Measure the time it takes in seconds for the drivingwheel to do one turn at this speed.• Divide the time by 0,04608.•Enter a rounded value without decimal points in CV52.•Increase the speed and check whether the chuffrhythmmatches the turns of the drivers. If thechuff is too fast, increase the value in CV 53gradually, if it is too slow, decrease the value inCV 53.Adjusting the volumeThe volume of LokSoundXL decoders may be adaptedin 3 steps:Enter the desired value in CV 63.Permitted values are: 0 (quiet), 1 (medium), 2 (loud).Random sound effectsCV 54 and CV 55 define the frequency of randomsounds that are played while a steam locomotive isstationary. CV 54 contains the minimal time between2 random sounds, CV 55 the maximum. Bothrepresent an interval in which LokSoundXL randomlyselects and plays sounds. The units of both CVs are0.184 seconds.Example: the minimum interval in CV 54 should be1.5 seconds. Enter 1.5 / 0.184 = 8 into CV 54.17

Brake sections / Reed switch inputs5.2.5 Brake sectionsThe LokSoundXL decoder responds to the two mostcommonly used brake generators, which are:•Lenz and ROCO brake generators in DCC operation•Märklin® brake trackAs soon as the LokSoundXL decoder recognizes abrake command it brakes with a deceleration, whichmay be set independently. After this forced stop thelocomotive begins to move again and accelerates tothe previously set speed. The acceleration may beprogrammed separately from the standard acceleration/ deceleration value (CV 61 and CV 62).This feature is activated in CV 49.Lenz LG100 / ROCO 10763No settings are required. Both brake generators usethe mechanisms recommended by the NMRAstandards. They are always supported by LokSoundXLdecoders. n.Märklin® brake trackInstead of digital signals the Märklin® brake tracksupplies a DC voltage to the tracks. To activate thisyou must set bit 1 in CV 49.Do not activate the Märklin® brake track andthe analogue DC operation at the same time,because the DC of the Märklin® brake track couldbe interpreted as analogue DC operation. WithCV 29 you may switch off the analogue mode(see paragraph 7.1).5.2.7 Reed switch inputs*** new for version 2.0 ***In order to activate special sound effects two inputsmay be connected to reed contacts.Typically this would be used to activate sound effectswithout using the command control station. If youinstall a magnet at a level crossing and a reed switchonthe locomotive chassis, it is possible to configure theLokSoundXL decoder in such a way that every timethe locomotive passes the crossing the whistle will beactivated.How to connect these reed contacts has beendescribed in section 3.7.4. The following explains howto set the decoder for this application.The inputs REED-IN1 and REED-IN2 share theterminals 2-7 and 2-8 with AUX5 and AUX6. Thereforeyou can only use either the inputs or the outputs butnot both at the same time.These inputs work as follows: If a contact is closed (bya magnet) then the effect is the same as if a functionkey had been pressed. For REED-IN1 this may be F5or F9, for REED-IN2 it could be F6 or F10.The effect you have set to be activated by therespective function key will now also be activated bythe reed contact. How to allocate certain functionsto specific function keys is described in section 5.2.3.To activate REED-IN1 and REED-IN2 use CV 119 and120. Depending on which function key should activatewhich input the appropriate value has to be enteredin the CVs.:Input Key Control-CV ValueREED-IN1 F5 CV 119 14REED-IN1 F9 CV 119 15REED-IN2 F6 CV 120 14REED-IN2 F10 CV 120 15Fig. 13: Values for CV 119 and CV 120Examples:Let’s assume, you want to activate a whistle via REED-IN1. The appropriate sound is stored in sound slot 1.This simulates pressing the function key F5.Enter 14 in CV 119. Then allocate the whistle (soundslot 1) to function key F5 (respectively to REED-IN1).CV 39 controls F5 (refer to fig. 12 on page 26). Toactivate sound slot 1 set CV 39 to 16.Let’s assume, you want to activate the bell via REED-IN2. This sound effect is stored in sound slot 2. Thissimulates pressing function key F6.Enter 14 in CV 120. Then allocate the bell (sound slot2) to function key F6 (respectively to REED-IN2). CV40 controls F6. To activate sound slot 2 set CV 40 to32.18 LokSoundXL User Manual V2.1 05/2002

Adjusting CV’s using DCC systems5.3 Adjusting CVsAfter having been introduced to the effects controlledby CVs in paragraph 5.1 and 5.2 we now need toclarify how to set the CVs. There are 3 possibilities:•With a PC and LokProgrammer•With a DCC compatible digital command station(e.g. Intellibox, Lenz digital plus)•With Märklin® 6021Depending on the product used the procedure varies.•Programming is not possible. The Lenz commandstation displays "err02", the Arnold commandstation "short circuit":This is caused by the overload protection of the digitalsystem, which is very sensitive. The LokSoundXLdecoder with the built in audio amplifier uses a highercurrent than other decoders and thus activates theoverload protection of the systems. To rectify this,solder a resistor with 47 ohm (0,5 Watt) in one of thetwo wires, connecting the digital command stationwith the programming track. See figure 13.5.3.1 Using LokProgrammerThe LokProgrammer by ESU electronic solutions ulmGmbH offers the easiest method to modify CVs of allLokSound decoders: with a click of the mouse usingMS-Windows®. The PC helps you to find the variousCV numbers and values. With the LokProgrammeryou can also modify the sound effects of LokSoundXLdecoders and you may create your own sound effects.You may purchase the LokProgrammer at Model Trainoutlets complete with detailed operating instructions.Programming trackcommand stationResistor 47Ω5.3.2 Using DCC systemsThere is no "one fits all" instruction for programmingof CVs with various DCC systems. There are too manydifferences between the popular DCC systems.Whenever possible you should use the DCC direct mode(CV programming by setting individual bytes withUhlenbrock) or DCC paged mode.Refer to chapter 9 "programming" of the user manualfor the Intellibox. In particular read chapter 9.5"programming of DCC decoders" very carefully.Programming should be done in the "CV-programmingbyte-wise" mode.Lenz digital plusThere are various software versions available of theLenz digital plus command station. You need firmwareversion 2.3 or higher in order to program LokSoundXLdecoders. Contact Lenz for more details regardingupgrades of older versions.Use "paged CV" mode for programming.Depending on the firmware version the "CVmode" might cause problems.Older command stations such as "Digital plus", "Lenzcompact" and "Arnold Digital" create anotherphenomenon:LokSoundXL User Manual V2.1 05/2002Fig. 14: Lenz command station with 47Ω resistor5.3.3 Using Märklin® 6021With the Märklin® command station you cannotmodify standard CVs as it does not comply with theNMRA DCC standards. However, the most importantCVs of LokSoundXL decoders may be changed with aspecific programming mode, described as follows:You cannot program the 6021 with the CV conceptbecause only values from 01 to 80 may be enteredwith this command station. That's why we call values,which may be modified with the 6021 "registers". Eachof the 64 registers responds to a DCC standard CV.Figure 14 shows a list of the register numbers andtheir CV numbers.If you want to change a certain CV you have to lookup the register number first in figure 14 and thenmodify it.Many CVs have three digit values, however, the 6021only allows a two digit input. The LokSoundXL decoderovercomes this problem by multiplying the enteredvalue with a factor. The result will be memorizedinternally. See figure 14for the appropriate multiplier.That means that not all functions of the LokSoundXLdecoder may be adjusted with Märklin® commandstations.19

Adjusting CV’s using Märklin® 6021Programming mode of 6021Set decoder into programming mode before enteringany changes with the 6021. Only then may the registerbe selected and the new value entered and confirmed.Once you have modified all parameters you want tochange, exit the programming mode with register"80".Peep sounds, varying in pitch and length, indicatewhich mode you are currently using. That keeps youin control:Peep sounds, varying in pitch and length, indicate thevarious modes of LokSoundXL decoder:a) Register input mode (01 to 64 or 80)• • • (short, low tones, long intervals)b) value input mode (01 to 80)•• •• •• (combination from long / shorttones, high frequency)c) Confirmation(long, high tone)Make sure that not only the track- and motorconnections are installed properly but also the speaker,since the speaker provides the acoustic signals.•The regulator must be set to 0.•Take all other locomotives off the track.•Listen to the sound signals of the locomotive.To get into programming mode:•Press the "stop" and "go" keys simultaneously on6021 to activate a reset (or pull the plug of thepower pack).•To switch off the track voltage, press the "stop" key.•Enter the current decoder address (alternative "80").•Activate the change of direction feature (turn thecontrol knob far left until you hear a "click"), holdthe knob in position and press the "go"-key.•The LoksoundXL decoder is now in register inputmode.•Enter the register number you want to change.Make sure you always enter a two digit number(e.g. "01" and not "1")•To confirm any entry turn the knob far left (changeof direction feature). The decoder is now in valueinput mode.•Now enter a new value for the register as a twodigit number. Bear in mind that this value ismultiplied with the factor given for each register infigure 11.Note that you may only enter values 01 to 80with the 6021. Value "0" is missing, enter instead"80".•Turn the knob far left to confirm.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)•The LokSoundXL decoder changes again toregister input mode. Enter further CVs you wantto modify.•Exit the programming mode by selecting register"80" or switch the track voltage off and on (press"stop"-key and then "go"-key on 6021).6. Frequently asked questions (FAQ)There could be many reasons if the LokSoundXLdecoder does not work properly after installation.Frequently there is no defect, only the various settingsdo not correspond with the respective locomotive.We list some symptoms and how to solve them:„Lighting / sound / read and write CVs works, butthe locomotive does not move.“•A short circuit in the motor or a high current drawhas released the overload protection of LokSoundXLdecoder.•The motor may not be isolated from the chassis. Inthis case remove the motor but do not disconnectit and test the LokSoundXL decoder.•Set the motor takt frequency from 22 kHz to 87Hz when using universal motors (see CV 9).„The locomotive jerks and does not run smoothly atlow speed when Back EMF control is activated.“•Check if the symptoms persist when you deactivateBack EMF control (see chapter 5.2.1). If so, adjustthe motor control parameters (see 5.2.1)•Possibly the motor has not been isolated againstthe chassis. To eliminate this particular problem firstremove the motor and then test it. If it works youhave identified the cause of the problem.Make sure there is no electrical contact betweenthe motor and chassis when you reinstall the motor.This is particularly important with older motors fromMärklin® (ie: class 78).„The locomotive runs, but there are no sounds.“•Check the wiring to the speaker.•The F1 key works only with the new Motorolaformat when using Märklin® 6021 (see chapter4.2.1). If this is ok, there may be damage to thespeaker.„I would like to reset the LokSoundXL decoder tofactory settings. How does it work?“•This is not an easy task because the factory settingsvary depending on the purchased sound version.However, for most CV’s, a default value is given inLokSoundXL User Manual V2.1 05/2002the table found in chapter 7.1•A decoder-reset is easily possible with a PC and theLokProgrammer software.„After installing the LokSoundXL decoder thelocomotive moves in one direction at max speedwhile it remains stationary in the opposite direction!?“•This is caused by an incorrect motor connection.Please refer to Fig. 2 and 4. Has the motor beenconnected to the right terminals? They are notlocated adjacent to each other, there may be inputsor outputs in between.I have installed LokSoundXL decoders in my LGBlocomotives. Why do functions F2 and higher notrespond when activated with the LGB-Lokhandy?•This problem is typical for the LGB command stationand is not related to our decoder. If you press F5for instance, then the Lokhandy transmits five timesF1 on, F1 off, F1 on, etc. The LGB decoders countthese pulses and subsequently switch the requiredfunction output.•LokSoundXL decoders can „count“ these pulses,but you need to enable this function first. Seesection 4.2.2 for further details.„I have studied the manual, but there are stillproblems. What can I do?“•If you have further questions don't hesitate tocontact our service department. Contact details arelisted in chapter 8, on the last page of this manual.•If you have studied this manual but feel you don'twant to proceed with the installation, esu electronicsolutions ulm GmbH can offer professional help:Enquire at your local hobby store for the LokSoundservice pack: we install the decoder for you.(available in Germany only)7.
