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-specic 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, afx 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.

Start-up
Double check the correct installation with a continuity tester or an Ohmmeter.
When placing the device make sure it does not come into contact with any conducting surfaces in the vehicle. Also ensure that a
shot circuit cannot occur when the locomotive is close, and that the wire is not cinched.
4. Switching the Sound on and off
The individual sounds can be switched on and off via special function keys from the digital control panel. The assignment of the
sounds to the special function keys can be changed via the CVs 900 to 931 in the SUSI bank 8 (CV1021 = 8).

Volume
The total volume can be changed either via the potentiometer or in the SUSI bank 2 (CV 1021 = 2) via the CV 900.
Therefore the CV 1021 is rst programmed to the value 2 and then the CV 900 is programmed to the value of the desired volume.
The individual sounds of the sound decoder are stored in so-called slots, of which up to 32 are available. The volume of the individ-
ual sounds can be adjusted via the CVs 900 - 931 in the SUSI bank 4 (CV 1021 = 4). Therefore, rst the CV 1021 is programmed to
the value 4 and then the CV belonging to the respective sound (900 - 931) to the value of the desired volume.
Setting the dynamic Characteristics of the Sound
Some sound characteristics change according to current running state of the vehicle and can be adapted to the type of locomotive
being used. All factory default values for PIKO locomotive decoders are usable with H0 Locomotives, but can be changed to suit
other locomotives without problems.
5. Programming
In the factory default state all decoder options are changed using conguration variables (CVs) according to the DCC Stopard.
The sound module can be programmed with SUSIkomm software and Sound Loading Adapter, or via the locomotive decoder. The
decoders can be programmed by an Intellibox, DCC Centre and Motorola Centre. With other makes of locomotive decoder follow
the instructions for that decoder.
Programming with DCC devices
Use the programming menu in your DCC Centre to program the decoder CVs in either register, direct CV or page programming
mode. It is also possible to program the decoder on the main line using a DCC Centre. Refer to the manual of your control centre
for full instructions on the process.
A short circuit can destroy the component and eventually the locomotive electronics!
