1. Introduction
The LokSound 5 DCC decoder by ESU is a versatile digital decoder
integrating a full-featured, 10 channel sound system, various
lighting outputs and a 1.5A motor controller. This key component
of your newly acquired “DD-1” is responsible for all functions,
such as motor control, control of all lighting functions and all
sound and special sound functions.
The decoder supports DCC with RailComPlus. It can also be used
on analogue DC systems.
The “DD-1” is preset at the factory for immediate operation. Nev-
ertheless, we kindly ask you to first read these instructions before
you set this locomotive onto a powered track.
Important warnings:
• This LokSound decoder is designed for use in GHB “DD-1”only.
• Do not expose to wet and humid conditions.
• Do not remove the heat shrink sleeve on the decoder.
• Always disconnect the circuit when installing the decoder.
Please install the body shell before applying voltage.
• To avoid risk of short circuit, ensure that opens ends of wires do
not come into contact with any metal parts of the Locomotive!
• 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 mem-
brane or apply pressure!
2. Initial operation

4
The default address assigned to the LokSound decoder is 3. Sim-
ply set your controller to this locomotive number and place it on
the mainline. If everything is set up properly, the “DD-1” should
react as shown on the table 2.1. If you use a DCC system which
supports RailComPlus®, it will most likely ask you to change the
locomotive address. All function button icons will be displayed
correctly after the assignment of the new address.
2.5. Analogue operation
“DD-1” can be used conventionally (=analogue) on DC or AC
layouts. However, the number of the available functions is highly
restriced:
• Driving functions forward – backward – backward
• Light changes
• Motor sounds (automatically)
For analogue operation you can use any DC power supplies. Please
note that a trouble-free operation with electronic driving control
devices (PMW operation) is not guaranteed due to the huge vari-
ety of systems available on the market.

tant parameters of the LokSound decoder. A full list of CVs can
be found in the respective manual available for download on our
website www.esu.eu
3.1. Basics of DCC programming
The hardware determines some features such as the number of
function outputs as well as the maximum permitted current of
the motor output. Therefore they are not programmable. Never-
theless, there are plenty of possibilities to influence the behaviour
of the LokSound decoder by adjusting the software-governed
properties. Within the decoder there is at least one memory space
reserved for each adjustable parameter in which numbers or let-
ters can be stored.
You could visualise the storage spaces as index cards in a large file
box. In order to make sure you find the right card again, they all
have numbers and / or names outlining the properties of this par-
ticular card such as “locomotive address“ or “maximum speed“.
Just imagine you can write information onto these cards. Adjust-
ing the settings means nothing else but erasing one entry and
replacing it with another. Moreover, you are able to do that at any
time. However, you cannot write onto every card: some bits of
information such as the manufacturer’s code are firmly encoded.
Thus, you can determine the content of the storage spaces in the
decoder even during operation and, of course, the decoder will
follow the instructions. Via the procedure known as “Program-
ming“, you can enter the desired data into the storage spaces.
3.1.1. Configuration Variables (CV)
The LokSound decoders follow the CV concept developed in the
US. CV stands for “Configuration Variable“ and indicates that the
storage cells described above are not only variable but they also
determine the behaviour of the decoder.
3.1.2. Standardization in the NMRA
The NMRA (National Model Railroad Association) has defined
which CVs determine certain parameters of a decoder. The DCC
standard allocates fixed numbers for certain CVs (adherence is
obligatory). This greatly simplifies things for the user since decod-
ers of most manufacturers comply with this standard and there-
fore dealing with CVs requires the same process with the same
CV-numbers regardless of the manufacturer.
The DCC concept permits you to enter numbers ranging from 0 to
255 into CVs. Each CV carries only one number.
While the position number is predetermined, the range of values
may vary. Not all CVs must accept values ranging from 0 to 255.
The permitted values for LokSound decoders are listed in the table
starting on page 10, showing the most important available CVs.
3.1.3. Bits and Bytes
Most CVs contain numbers: CV 1 for instance contains the lo-
comotive address. This can be any number between 1 and 127.
While most CVs expect numbers to be entered, some others are
rather like a “collection point“ of various “switches“, that admin-
ister different functions in one CV (mainly “on“ or “off): CVs 29
and 49 are good examples: you must calculate the value for these
CVs yourself. The value depends on which settings you want to
program:
Have a look at the explanations for CV 29 in the table on page 11:
firstly, decide which options should be active. The column “Value“
has two numbers for each option. If the option is switched off,
the value is 0. Otherwise, it is a number between 1 and 128. Add
all the values for the respective options to arrive at the correct
value for this CV.
3.1.4. Programming methods
LokSound decoders support all NMRA programming modes as
there are the programming track modes (Direct Mode, Register
Mode, Paged Mode) and the mode for the main (“POM“, “Pro-
gramming on the Main“).

Decoder settings
The LokProgrammer 53451 / 53452 offers the easiest and most
comfortable way of setting the CVs of the LokSound decoders
simply by a few mouse clicks.
You can access all properties of ESU decoders with the LokPro-
grammer. You even can erase the sound and download a new
soundpackage. Please see our website for more details.
3.4. Setting up your LokSound
3.4.1. Address Settings
Each LokSound decoder requires a definite address to be address-
able for the central unit. Depending on the type of decoder and
the digital system, there are several possibilities how to allocate
addresses. The LokSound may be setup to listen to either the pri-
mary address (also called “short” address), which provides a range
of 1 to 127 or the extended (“long”) address, which has a range
of up to 9999. Based on your preferences and your command sta-
tion’s capabilities, you may select either the primary address or the
extended address for usage. Be aware that some DCC systems do
not support the full range of available addresses.
Bit 5 in CV 29 switches between short and long address. The de-
coder can only respond to one address at a time. If CV 29, Bit 5 is
cleared, the decoder listens to the primary address stored in CV 1.
If CV 29, Bit 5 is set, the decoder listens to the extended address
stored in CV 17 AND CV 18.
3.4.1.1. Primary Address
Normally you would control LokSound decoders with the short
address that is stored in CV 1. In DCC mode, the permitted values
range from 1 to 127. In order to enable the decoder to “listen“ to
the short address you must delete bit 5 in CV 29.
Some digital systems (e.g.: ROCO® Lokmaus2, Lenz® digital plus,
Lenz compact) only support the values 1 – 99 as short addresses.
3.4.1.2. Extended Address
Programming on the Main (also called “Operations Mode pro-
gramming”) enables you to program your decoders comfortably
without having to remove the locomotive from the layout. In this
case, the command station talks directly to the decoder by using
its locomotive address, for instance:
“Locomotive number 50, write the value 7 into CV 3!“. Thus
knowing the locomotive address is a precondition. Unfortunately,
you cannot read CV values using this mode.
3.1.4.2. Service Mode Programming
This programming mode usually requires the locomotive to be
placed on a special programming track output of the command
station. CV’s can only be read on the service track unless your DCC
command stations supports RailCom®. You can also reprogram
the locomotive address without knowing the old address since the
command station simply transmits the command “Write value 7
in CV 3!“.
Each decoder receiving this command will execute it.
In order to be able to read back the CV values from your decoder,
the motor terminals must be properly connected to the motor. The
motor is used to produce the “feedback” current pulse detected
by the command station.
3.1.5. Programming procedure using various DCC systems
As each DCC system is different, the procedure for changing a CV
will vary depending upon the system. We are very sorry that we
are unable to provide detailed instructions to cover every system
on the market. We need to assume that you are familiar with your
system. Please consult your DCC system manual for detailed speci-
fication. We tested the LokSound with almost every DCC system
available on the market (as of end of 2010), so there should not
be any general problem.
3.1.6. Programming with the ESU LokProgrammer

7
You can also operate LokSound decoders with extended addresses
(4-digit addresses). The supported values range from 128 – 10239.
The extended address is stored in CVs 17 and 18. You must activate
the usage of the extended address by setting bit 5 in CV 29.
If you want to use your LokSound with the extended address it is
practical to program this address directly with your digital system:
most modern digital systems have a menu for programming long
addresses. The command station not only programs CV 29 cor-
rectly but also assures the correct storage of the values for the long
address in CV 17 and 18.
Both the primary and the extended address may be changed at
any time using service mode (on the programming track).
Some DCC systems (such as ESU ECoS, ESU Navigator) will allow
the decoder address to be modified using Programming On The
Main. LokSound will accept the programming commands, but the
following restrictions apply:
•If the decoders primary address is enabled, the decoder will accept
a new primary address and follow this immediately.
•If the decoders primary address is enabled, the decoder will accept
a new secondary address (write of CV 17, 18).
•If the decoders extended address is enabled, the decoder will only
accept a new primary address. You can not change an extended
address to another number using Programming On The Main.
3.4.2. Configuring the decoders behaviour
3.4.2.1. Acceleration / Deceleration
Acceleration and brake time can be set independently of each
other. Therefore, you could for instance program a short accelera-
tion and a much longer brake time. The time for accelerating from
0 to maximum speed is adjusted in CV 3 while deceleration is set
in CV 4. Permitted values are 0 (no delay ) to 63.
The times set in these CVs work speed dependant. Therefore, the
acceleration distance and the brake distance are longer at high
speeds. In other words, the faster the locomotive moves, the lon-
ger is the distance until it stops.
3.4.2.2. Starting voltage, VMax
LokSound decoders know 256 speed steps internally. They can be
adapted to the characteristic of the locomotive and allocated to
the actual available speed steps (14, 28, or 128):
You can adjust the driving characteristics yourself: enter the start
voltage in CV 2 and the maximum speed in CV 5. The values of
the start and maximum speed are dependent on each other.
Selecting a max speed that is lower than the start speed or higher
than the maximum speed could lead to some erratic driving per-
formance.
3.4.2.3. Shunting mode
The shunting mode reduces the speed to about 50%. Thus, you
have smoother control of your locomotive in the lower speed
ranges, which is important for shunting.
3.4.2.4. Analogue mode
The LokSound can also be used on conventional layouts. By de-
fault, this option is enabled. If you don’t want to use the LokSound
on conventional layouts, please disable the analog mode by clear-
ing bit 2 of CV 29. Disabling this mode is useful if you plan to use
some automatic braking modes.
3.4.3. Brake sectors
Brake sectors have the purpose to slow down the locomotive in-
dependently from the commands issued by the command station.
Frequently, this function serves for stopping a train in front of a
red signal. If a LokSound detects a brake command, it will slow
down with the programmed deceleration and then stop. After this
enforced stop, the locomotive will accelerate again as per the pro-
grammed values in CV 3.
Depending on the type of digital system, there are several options
on how to influence the decoder so that it stops the train.

Decoder settings
Before you change any of the volume control CVs, please make
sure that the CV 31 is set to 16 and CV 32 = 1!
The master volume control CV 63 controls all sound effects. The
resulting sound volume for each individual sound effect therefore
is a mixture of the master volume control settings and the indi-
vidual volume control sliders.
4. Decoder Reset
Enter the value 08 in CV 08.
3.4.3.1. DC Brake Mode
In order to activate the DC brake mode you must set bit 3 in CV
27. The decoder will start brake once it moves from a digital sec-
tor into a DC sector provided the brake mode is active and the
polarity of the track voltage does NOT match the current direc-
tion of travel. The locomotive will stop taking into account the
programmed deceleration.
3.4.3.3. Lenz® ABC Brake Mode
LokSound decoder support the ABC braking technique introduced
by Lenz®. In order to use this function a group of anti-parallel
diodes will be be soldered to one half of the track. The resulting
voltage drop generates an asymmetrical DCC signal. LokSound
decoders will detect the difference between the left and right half
of the signal. If desired, the decoder will be stopped.
Please read the hints within the LokSound manual for further in-
formation.
3.3.4. Adjust the sound volume
The LokSound allows the individual volume control of each sound.

5. Appendix
5.1. Programming Long Addresses
As described in chapter 3.3.1.2. the long address is split into two
CVs. The byte with the higher value of the address is in CV 17. This
byte determines the range in which the extended address will be
located. For instance, if you enter the value 192 in CV 17 then the
extended address may be between 0 and 255. If 193 is written into
CV 17 then the extended address will be between 256 and 511.
You can continue this up to addresses with values of 9984 and
10239. The possible values are shown in the table on the right.
5.1.1. Write address
To programme a long address you first of all need to calculate the
values for CV 17 and CV 18 and then programme it. Please note
that it is not possible to programme addresses via the program-
ming mode “POM”.
To programme the long address proceed as follows:
•First you determine the desired address, for instance 4007.
•Then you look for the appropriate address range in the table on
the right. The value to be entered into CV 17 can be found in the
column on the right. In our example, it is 207.
The value for CV 18 is established as follows:
esired address 4007
minus first address in the address range - 3840
=============================== ====
equals value for CV 18 167
•167 is therefore the value to be entered in CV 18. Thus your de-
coder is now programmed to address 4007.
5.1.2. Read out addess
If you wish to read out the address of a locomotive please read
the values of CV 17 and CV 18 one after another and proceed
then in reverse order:
Let’s assume you have read:
CV 17 = 196; CV 18 = 147. Look up the corresponding address
range in the table below. The first possible address within this
range is 1024. Then you have to add the value from CV 18 and
you arrive at the locomotive address:
1024
+ 147

= 1171
