GB Sound module USM-RC-3

Some of the available functions are mutually exlusive. For example, a ship cannot be
“At anchor“ and be “In operation“ at the same time.
The relationship between light functions and outputs (see table), are fixed and can
not be changed!
The condition "in operation" can either be manually switched on with the function
"Ship: in operation" (e.g. by using a Nautic switch), or automatically with the throttle
channel on proportional channel #1.
If you want to use the automatic detection of "in operation" or "at anchor", you will
have to switch them on in the configuration of the Sound-Teacher (see page 81). If
the throttle stick is then not in neutral position (ie. the ship operates), it will be
switched to the condition "in operation". If the ship is stopped (throttle stick in
neutral), the condition "in operation" will be switched off after an adjustable time and
usually it will be switched over to the condition "at anchor". However, if in this
moment there is still another condition active, like e.g. "restricted in ability to
manoeuvre" or "towing", the condition will remain active and it will only be switched
over to "at anchor" until the other condition is switched off.
If the automatic detection of "in operation" or "at anchor" is active, these conditions
cannot be switched with the functions "Ship: in operation" and "Ship: at anchor".
Additional informations to lights of ships can be found in the internet.
Output "Smoke generator - heater“ and „Smoke generator - fan“
These output types are for connecting a proportional smoke generator. Depending
on the state (engine start, idle, accelerating and running speed) of the model, the
output is controlled with varying intensity. Thus, smoke emissions (per fan) are
produced to suit the particular situation.
With the output type “fan” a trailing can be set (see page 52).
The smoke emissions can be adjusted using the 3 parameters "Intensity", "Option 1"
and "Option 2":
• At "Intensity" the intensity of the smoke emissions during engine start and
acceleration can be set (e.g. 100%).
• At "Option 1" the intensity of the smoke emissions while standing (e.g. 20 %)
can be adjusted.
• At "Option 2" the maximum smoke intensity at full running speed (e.g.
90 %) can be defined. The corresponding smoke intensity at each speed level
between start and full running speed is calculated automatically.
The output is activated via the the function "Smoke generator on" or automatically
when turning on the driving sound (see page 81).
We recommend using output 17 (X1/8) for the heating of the smoke generator, as
this can switch a higher current (max. 3 A) than the other outputs.
