INSTALLATION
- Select the correct plug.
- Cut the cable to the correct length
and remove the insulation from the
wire ends. Connect the wires to the
two right-hand terminals of the
sound unit (Fig. 1, 2).
- Place the Sound Unit in the loco,
the tender or a car.
Attention! Mount the Sound Unit
securely. Make sure it will not touch
connectors or other electronic com-
ponents. Otherwise, short circuits
may damage the components.
- Connect the wire (Fig. 1) to the
multi-purpose socket of the loco or
to track power.
- Enjoy!
Hints:
- To obtain standing sounds with
analog operation while the throttle
is turned off, the 65011 Sound Unit
Power Storage must be installed.
(For Multi-Train System operation,
the 65011 is not needed.)
- To trigger bell and whistle using the
17050 LGB Sound Trigger Magnet,
the 65010 Sound Unit Function
Trigger must be installed.
- To synchronize the drive sounds to
the wheel revolution, install the
65010 Sound Unit Function Trigger.
You can also program the drive
sounds to adjust them to the loco
starting settings and drive speed.
You can program starting voltage,
acceleration, braking and other fea-
tures (see INSTRUCTIONS FOR
ADVANCED USERS).
OPERATION
Analog operation: As soon as a low
voltage is on the tracks, you hear the
standing sounds. When track voltage
increases, you hear the drive sounds,
which are synchronized to the volt-
age in the tracks.
Hint: You can program the drive
sounds to start exactly when the loco
starts. You need a PC and the 55045
MTS PC Decoder Programming
Module or the 55015 Universal
Remote (see INSTRUCTIONS FOR
ADVANCED USERS).
Multi-Train System
The Sound Unit is equipped with a
factory-installed sound decoder for
the LGB Multi-Train System. It can be
used without modifications on ana-
log or digital layouts. For operation
with the Multi-Train System, the
Sound Unit is programmed to loco
address 03. For information on pro-
gramming the loco address, see the
instructions for various MTS compo-
nents.
When operating with the Multi-Train
System, you hear the standing
sounds while the loco is standing.
When you turn up the MTS throttle,
you hear the drive sounds synchro-
nized to the drive steps.
When operating with the Multi-Train
System, you can remotely control the
sound functions. Press the function
buttons to control the following func-
