Sound
This model has a volume control behind the smoke box door (Fig. 4). The steam chuf-
fing sounds are synchronized with the wheel rotation. The rate of steam chuffing is
set at the factory for 2 chuffs per wheel rotation. This can be changed to 4 chuffs per
wheel rotation like in the prototype by programming Bit 7 in CV54 to "64".
When you are operating with the LGB Multi-Train System, the sound can be reprodu-
ced dependent on the load so that only cylinder auxiliary sounds can be heard when
going downgrade or when the brakes are applied. Bit 4 in CV54 is programmed to "8"
to do this.
The whistle sounds when the locomotive starts. The bell and whistle can also be
activated with the LGB sound activation magnet (item no. 17050) that is included with
the locomotive. The activation magnet can be clipped into place between the ties of
most LGB track sections.
The magnet is located on the side under the cast-in LGB logo. Place the magnet on
the right side in order to activate the whistle when the locomotive passes over this
location. The bell will sound when the magnet is placed on the left side.
Note: The 65011 standing sound power supply must be installed in order to have
standing sounds in analog operation when the transformer is shut off.
Note: This model is equipped with acceleration delay so that the interesting standing
sounds can be reproduced.
Programming the Decoder
Numerous functions on the decoder can be programmed individually. To do this,
function values are programmed in registers (Configuration Variables - CVs). You also
can program the function values with the 55015 Universal Remote Controller.
• For normal operation, it is not necessary to change the function values.
• If programming results in unsatisfactory operation, you can reprogram the factory
pre-set values of most important CVs: Program register CV 55 to function value 55.
To reprogram the factory pre-set function values with the 55015, select program-
ming mode "P" (displays shows "P --"). Then input 6, 5, and 5 and press the right
arrow button. The display shows "P --" again: Input 5, 5, and 5 and press the right
arrow button again.
EPL Activation Magnet
If you want to equip this locomotive with a 17010 EPL activation magnet, it will be
necessary to install the mounting plate included with it under the gear drive. (The EPL
activation magnet is used to activate the EPL 17100, which is available separately).
The mounting plate can be installed on the front or the rear part of the gear drive:
• On the underside of the gear drive, there are two screws each on both sides
(Fig. 5) next to the articulated joint.
• Loosen the front or the rear screws.
• Position the mounting plate so that the cast-in number is facing down and is not
visible. The holder must be facing the gear drive end and not the articulated joint.
• Fasten the mounting plate on the gear drive with the two gear drive screws.
• The 17010 EPL activation magnet can now be mounted with double-sided tape bet-
ween the cast-in grooves on the underside of the gear drive and on the mounting
plate.
