Description
ThePIKOsoundmoduleisanauxiliarymoduleforlocomotivedecoderswiththestandardizedSUSIinterface,andcan
beidentiedbytheappropriatelogo.Thesoundmodulessupplyoriginal,faithfullyreproducedsoundsofreallocomo-
tives. Using "intelligent sound control" the sounds produced are adapted to match the locomotives actual operating
environment.Evenwhendrivinguphillanddownhill,thesoundschangetoaccuratelyreectprototypicaloperation.
When the locomotive is supposed to start, the sound module will stop the motor from working (via the decoder).
until the actual starting of the vehicle synchronises with the sound of the motor.
While stationary, different operating noises for the-respective type of locomotive are produced by chance (coal shovels,
compressed air).
With the new 4 channel technology the driving (motor) sound of the locomotive, which can be switched on and off
using the appropriate function key and 3 more sounds can be triggered by function keys. Here, whistle, horn, bell,
door warning / closing signal or uncoupling sounds e.g. can be played. Additional up to 4 individual sounds (wav) can
beuploadedandsetwiththefunctionkeysf0-f28. Steam loco driving sounds can be rendered controlled by speed
steps or wheel synchronisation.
If the locomotive runs out of the visible range of a model railway facility, e.g. into a shadow station, then "audio muting"
can be softly faded out by a special function key. By pressing the function key again, the sound is gradually faded in,
adaptingitselftotheexistingdrivingconditions(i.e.,soundsynchronizedtothemotorspeed).
TheUhlenbrocksoftware"SUSI-SoundManager"(Uhlenbrockitemno.31060)isneededforcongurationofindivi-
dual sounds. Especially how an individual sound will operate (on, loop, off).
For download all sounds the Uhlenbrock Sound loading adaptor 31010 (RS 232) or 31050 (USB, incl. SUSI Sound-
Manager) are needed.
Installation of a Sound modul
Connecting the SUSI-interface
Insert the plug with the red, blue, grey and black cable into the appropriate socket of your locomotive's motor decoder.
The sound module receives its power and data from the decoder.
Loudspeaker
Each speaker needs a resonator. It is sometimes possible to use the locomotive body or the wagon body as resonator.
Additional Connections
Attheundersideofthemodulare6solderingpadsforspecialfunctionslikerebox,steamgeneratorandwheel-
synchronizedexhaust"chuff"sounds (connection diagram on page 2).

(CV66)isautomaticallysettothevaluezerouponleavingtheMotorola**programmingmode.
Example
ConsiderCV49tobeprogrammedforavalueof157.FirstCV65mustbesettoavalueof25.NowCV49mustbe
settovalueof57.Thedecoderwillhold157inCV49,becausetheoffsetofCV65willbemultipliedby4(=100)and

Sound depended Auxiliary functions
Loads that are controlled depending on the sound can be connected to outputs SA1 and SA2. In a steam locomotive
asmokegeneratorcanbeconnectedtoSA1andlightingforthereboxtoSA2.WithanE-LocomotiveorCommuter

Extern input for wheel revolution sensors
InordertoproducethewheelsynchronizationtothechuffsofasteamlocomotiveorcurvescreechinginanE-locomotive
or diesel locomotive, the sound module has a special sensor input. As sensor, a reed switch or a Hall sensor together
with magnets on a locomotive wheel (Bogie for curve screeching), or a light sensor with the corresponding markings
on a wheel can be used. The reed switch, Hall sensor or light sensor are connected to the solder pads as shown in
the diagram.
Attaching the sound module
Using a piece of double-sided "sticky" tape, fasten the sound module to any place in the locomotive. The sticky tape
holds the sound module reliably in place and protects it from coming in contact with other wires, components, etc.
Start-up
Make sure that placing the module in the locomotive will not cause a short circuit! Also insure that, once you have
replaced the body (shell) of the locomotive no wires are "pinched" which could also cause short-circuits to develop.
A short circuit between engine, lighting, pickup shoe, wheel sets and the module can possibly destroy the
decoder’s components as well as the electronic of the locomotive!
Switching the decoder functions on and off
The individual functions can be switched on and off using special function keys on your digital Command Station/
Throttle.Theallocation(ormapping)ofthevarioussoundstoindividualspecialfunctionkeyscanbemodiedusing
CV's 903 - 915.
Decoders are delivered with sounds initially allocated as indicated in the above table.

sound continues to be issued according to the driving condition. If the sound is faded in again by switching the special
function off, the sound will be audible again and matching the driving status.
*version-dependent
Volume
SpeakervolumecanbechangedviaCV902.Asshippedfromthefactory,thevolumeissettoitsmaximumlevel.
Conguring the dynamic change of sound
Some settings, which concern the change of the sound in regard to the present driving conditions, can in each
case be adapted to the type of locomotive used. The settings concern the change in sound change with loading
(uphill and downhill), the speed threshold for starting the brake screeching and switch-on threshold for the electric
blower in an E-locomotive. CV 937 A changes the sensitivity to load regulation. If a value of 1 is programmed here,
thesoundreactsveryquicklytouphillanddownhillrunning.Avalueof8resultsinadelayedreaction.WithCV
938Athetriggerthresholdforasoundchangeforuphilldriving(Loadincrease)canbesetandwithCV939Athe
trigger threshold for a change in sound for downhill driving (Load reduction) can also be set. All values depend on
the locomotive decoder and the locomotive used and must be determined by test driving. With CV 936 the speed
threshold can be changed and the brake screeching starts when the locomotive speed is reduced. CV 934 sets the
speed threshold at which E-locomotives sound the cooling blower is closed.
Allex-factorysettingsareforUhlenbrocklocomotivedecodersandpresetforlocomotives,butcanbematchedto
other vehicles without problems.
Loading new sounds into the module
If the sound in the module is to be changed, then the module must be separated from the locomotive decoder and
theSUSI-pluginsertedintothesocketoftheUhlenbrockIntelliSoundLoadingadapter(PartNo.31010,or31050).
The operating steps for changing the sound are found in the manual for the Uhlenbrock IntelliSound Loading adapter.
Loading custom sounds
Inadditiontothepre-programmedsoundsitispossibletoaddamaximumof4customsoundswiththeUhlenbrock
IntelliSound Loading adapter. For this you use the Uhlenbrock Sound program SUSI-SoundManager and your own
sounds in wav format.
Controlling several sound or special function modules from a locomotive decoder
UptothreesoundorspecialfunctionmodulescanbecontrolledthroughasingleSUSIinterface.CV897isused
to allocate each module's own CV address range, thus allowing each module to be programmed independently. To
accomplishthis,eachmodulemustrstbeconnectedindividuallytothelocomotivedecoder.ItsownCVaddressrange
isdeterminedbyassigningthevalue1,2or3toCV897.Onceallmodulesareconnected,eachcanbeaddressed
andprogrammedwithinitsownCVaddressrange.TheCVtobemodiedwilldependontheCVaddressrangeas
speciedinthelistofCV'sattheendofthisdocument.Pleaseyounotethattheexplanationsintheprecedingsections
refer to CV address range #1 For changing the address range you have to use the congruent CV-addresses for the
2. or 3. address range from the CV table.
