Characteristics
• Intelligent sound control with up to 40 seconds of original sound coordinated to the operating situation
(i.e., speed, etc.) of the locomotive
• Generates the operating (motor) sound of the locomotive, "squealing" brakes, incidental noises while
stationary (mechanical devices (e.g., air pumps, etc.), coal shovels, etc.)
• 5 additionally adjustable noises such as whistle, bell, horn, uncoupling sound or door warning signal
• Sound changes as engine load changes, such as up/down grade operation; reaction to load change
can be adjusted
• The "Smart-Start": When starting the locomotive, the sound module stops the decoder from operating
until the actual starting of the vehicle synchronises with the sound of the motor. The locomotive does
not move until the very starting sound begins.
• Adjustable volume and audio muting: the sound can be faded or turned off by function key,
e. g. during travels into and away from a shadow station
• Provisions for a wheel sensor (e. g., reed contact, etc.) for synchronized exhaust sounds with steam
locomotives
• Efcientdigitaloutputcircuitryrenderssoundsover3independentchannels
• Up to three modules can be connected to a locomotive decoder, e. g. for multi-engine locomotives
• Comes with speaker and resonating chamber
• Locomotive sounds can be downloaded; various sounds are available at www.uhlenbrock.de
For modern diesel railcar sounds with the SUSI-interface
Description
The Intellisound 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,faith-
fully reproduced sounds of real locomotives. 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. A diesel locomotive, for instance, roars right before
it starts. The decoder stops the train from moving until the roaring is over and the motor sound begins.
If the locomotive is stopped, the appropriate "squealing" brake sound is produced. While stationary,
different operating noises for the-respective type of locomotive are produced by chance (coal shovels,
compressed air). With diesel locomotives, the engine startup and shutdown sounds can be heard when
this function is switched on and off. In addition to the driving (motor) sound of the locomotive, which can
beswitchedonandoffusingtheappropriatefunctionkey,3moresoundscanbetriggeredbyfunction
keys. Here, depending upon the type of locomotive (as displayed in the table below), whistle, horn, bell,
door warning / closing signal or uncoupling sounds can be played.
If the locomotive travels 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).

Loading new sounds into the module
In order to load a new sound into the IntelliSound module, the module must be separated from the
locomotive decoder and be connected via the SUSI plug into the appropriate socket of the InteIliSound
loadadapter(#31010).Themodulehaswritingprotection,whichprotectsitmoduleagainstaccidental
overwriting. Before new sounds can be loaded, this protection must be removed. To accomplish this,
the points illustrated in the accompanying picture must be connected (jumpered) before the module is
attached to the InteIliSound load adapter. The operating steps for changing / loading sounds are provided
withtheInteIliSoundloadadapter.Youcanndalargeselectionofdifferentsoundsonourwebpage:

Programming
TheCongurationVariables(CV's)formthebasisforcontrollingandselectingallpossiblefeaturesand
functions of the decoder in accordance with the DCC standard. The sound module is connected to a
loco decoder and could be programmed by those methodes which are provided by the loco decoder. In
the case of an Uhlenbrock loco decoder the sound module can be programmed with the Intellibox, DCC
CommandStationsandMärklin*CentralUnits.
Programming with the PIKO Digi-Power-Box or other DCC devices
Use the programming menu of your DCC Command Station (or throttle) to select and program decoder
CV'sbyregister,directorPageProgrammingmode.SomeCommandStations/throttlesalsosupport
the so called "main track programming" (also known as "operations mode programming"). Please refer
totheoperatingmanualofyourdeviceforspecicinstructions.
The individual sounds 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.
Additionally, themute switching function can bemapped to a function keyusing sound #8.Asthe locomotive
drives out of the visible range of a model railway, e.g. into a shadow station, then the entire sound of the
locomotive can be softly faded out by switching on this special function (preset at the factory to function
f8). The sound continues to be generated by the module in this "faded out" condition in accordance with
the respective driving conditions. If the sound is gradually faded in by subsequently switching the special
function off, then the sound again will adapt to the driving conditions in effect at that moment.
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
Settingswhichaffectthesoundpertainingtotheimmediateoperating(driving)conditioncanbemodied
to accommodate the type of locomotive being used. These settings affect the change of sound with load
changes (e.g., uphill and downhill), the speed threshold for triggering the squealing brake sound and the
switching threshold for the electrical exhaust with an electric locomotive (E-loco).
CV925isusedtodeneloadsensitivity.Ifavalueof1isprogrammedhere,thenthesoundreactsvery
quicklytouphilland/ordownhilldriving,whereasavalueof8producesaretardedreaction.CV921sets
theminimumtriggerlevelforachangeofsoundforaloadincrease(goinguphill)andCV922controls
the minimum trigger level for a change of sound for a load decrease (driving downhill). All values depend
on the locomotive decoder used as well as the locomotive itself, and therefore must be determined by
experimentation.
CV924setsthespeedthresholdatwhichthebrakesquealingsoundisproducedwhenthespeedofthe
locomotive is reduced.
CV923speciesthespeedthresholdatwhichpointanelectriclocomotive(E-lok)producessoundfor
its cooling exhaust.
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 sounds on and off
Each sound module has 6 different, adjustable sounds plus a mute switching function:
Default Operation Type of Sound Number of Sound
Function f1 Motortone 3
Function f2 Whistle or horn, repetitive 2
Functionf3 Uncoupling 4
Function f4 Whistle or horn, 2x 1
Function f5
Conductor wistle short, only combined with f1 16
Function f6 Station announcement
, only combined with f1 6
Function f8 Muteswitch 8
Function f9 Whistle, short 5
Function f11 Pump/Air compression 15
Functionf13 Departure signal 11
Function f16 Whistle, long 12
Ifyourunadiesellocomotive,youcaninuencethefrequencyoftheexhaust“chuff"sounds.CV938
