LokSoundXL User Manual V2.1 05/2002

1. Introduction

Congratulations on your acquisition of a LokSoundXL

decoder. With LokSoundXL your locomotives may

finally sound like the prototype. You will soon notice

that your LokSoundXL equipped vehicles will become

the center of attraction.

Of course, you would like to install this decoder in

your locomotive immediately, but first a request:

Please read this manual carefully before carrying

out the installation!!! Although LokSoundXL

decoders are very robust, incorrect connection

may destroy the module!

Important Warning:

•LokSoundXL decoders are designed for use in

model railways only

•Avoid mechanical force and impact on the

decoder

•Do not expose to wet and humid conditions

•Never solder on the circuit board

•Never wrap the decoder in insulation tape, since

this may cause overheating

•Always disconnect the circuit when installing the

decoder

•Make sure that neither the LokSound decoder

nor any blank wire ends may come into contact

with the locomotive (a risk of short circuit). Co-

ver any blank ends of unused wires.

•Make sure that no wires are squeezed or cut by

the model's transmission parts when reassembling

the locomotive.

•Handle the speaker with extreme care: Do not

touch the membrane or apply pressure! Solder

speaker connections quickly and only at the

intended places! Pay close attention to the

instructions for installing the speaker as outlined

in this manual!

If you adhere to these warnings you will be rewarded

by long life and trouble-free operation of your

LokSoundXL decoder.

This manual has several chapters. Chapter 2 is an

overview of the characteristics of LokSoundXL

decoder. Chapter 3 is about installing and connecting.

Chapter 4 deals with operational functions of the

LokSoundXL decoder. This chapter provides

information how programming parameters must be

modified in order to get certain functions. The fifths

chapter is about error analysis and gives answers to

frequently asked questions. The appendix however

includes a detailed list of all programming parameters

as well as technical data. For every paragraph in chapter

3 (installing, connecting) there is a corresponding

paragraph in chapter 4, which gives advice on

programming.

2. Characteristics of the LokSoundXL decoder

The LokSoundXL decoder is a universal electronic

module for installation in model locomotives for gauge

G and I. LokSoundXL was esecially developed for

gauge G and I and combines two components that

had to be acquired separately in the past:

• A full-feature digital decoder with outstanding

characteristics:

Multi-protocol operation: LokSoundXL decoder

understand both, the common Märklin® /

Motorola® - format and the format of NMRA/

DCC-system. Thus LokSoundXL may be used with

almost all presently available modern digital systems.

LokSoundXL was tested among others with:

• Arnold Digital (DCC operation)

• Lenz Digital Plus,

• ROCO digital is cool

• Märklin® 6021

• Uhlenbrock Intellibox (DCC+Motorola® )

• ZIMO MX-1 (DCC-operation)

The change over between protocols during operation

happens automatically.

Universal motor connection: All types of motors

may be attached to the LokSound module:

• Direct current (DC) motors (e.g. Bühler, Mabuchi)

• Coreless motors (e.g. Faulhaber, Maxxon)

• Alternating current (AC) motors

High motor pulse frequency: By using a pulse

frequency of 22 kHz (!) the motor is operated very

carefully. Thus the motor is not only quiet (no motor

whine), but also heat generation is minimized and

motor life is enhanced. Even coreless motors may

be operated with the LokSoundXL decoder without

problem.

Motor regulation: LokSoundXL offers second

generation load control for direct current motors
