2. Description
The PIKO Sound module provides digital original sounds from the original locomotive with a resolution of 12 Bit and a sam-
pling rate of 22,05 kHz. The intelligent sound control adapts the sounds to the respective driving situation. For example, when
driving uphill or downhill, the sounds are reproduced according to the current engine load. If the driving noise is switched on
via a function key, the upgrade phase of the locomotive can be heard rst. If the locomotive is to start up, the sound module
stops the locomotive engine until the vehicle starts up synchronously with the sound. If the locomotive is stopped, the train
brake squeals.
If the driving noise is switched off when the locomotive is stationary, a corresponding dismantling phase can now be heard,
including the closing of the door when the driver leaves the driver's cab. Thanks to the 8-channel technology, the locomotive's
driving noise and other locomotive-specic noises can be switched on simultaneously using special function keys. These are
horn, sanding and other additional noises, depending on the type of locomotive. These can be called up using the function
keys F0 - F28. If the locomotive leaves the visible area of a model railway system, e.g. into the staging yard, the "Sound
off" function can be used to softly fade out the entire locomotive sound using the special function key. Nearly all sounds are
separately adjustable in volume via CV programming and can be assigned to any special function key up to F28.
In combination with a correspondingly suitable locomotive decoder the IntelliSound 4 module can even be in analogue mode
with start-up and shut down sounds.
3. Installing a Sound Module
SUSI interface
Insert the SUSI plug into the SUSI socket of your decoder. The sound module is supplied with power and data from the
decoder.
Loudspeaker
Install the speaker in the bracket provided in the locomotive (see operating instructions for the locomotive, page 13) and
connect the speaker cables to those of the sound module.
Fastening the Sound module into the Vehicle
Using the double sided adhesive pad provided, afx the decoder to the desired location in the locomotive. The adhesive pad
protects the decoder from coming in contact with conducting surfaces and holds it in place.
Please note that according to the EMV laws the component may only be operated in vehicles that carry the CE symbol.
