For example, to simulate a flashing light with brightness 5 for the external load (AUX1). Write in the
CV 115 the value 5 + 32 = 37 to get that.
Switch-on-delay
If desired, you can determine for each of the 8 outputs, whether these switch on immediately or
delayed. This requires as shown in the table above, the value 64 to be added to the previous value of
the CV for the output. The exact time of the delay is randomly determined each time within the limits
defined in CVs 59 and 60.
Random light
If desired, you can determine for each of the 8 outputs, whether it after switching via a function key
it later goes randomly off again and later back on. For this purpose, the value 128 must be added to
the previous value of the CV for the output as shown in the table above. When and for how long the
output is then turned off, respectively, is determined by CVs 61 and 62.
Start blink number of neon light
In CV 63, you can determine how often a neon lamp flashes before it is permanently switched on.
Period for flashing lights
If the function flashing light or strobe was selected for an output, the period (and thus the blink rate)
is stored for all outputs relating it in CV 112.
Function mapping
The outputs can be freely assigned to function keys. For each of the functions F0 to F20 of the digital
system a decoder CV is responsible. For the function F0 forward, it is the CV33, for the function F0
backward it is the CV34 and so on up to CV136 for the F20 function. The value in this CV determines
which function output reacts to which function.
Example: In CV 35 a value of 4 specifies that the function output AUX1 for forward travel corresponds
to Function 1.
What values must be entered in order to assign the functions to function outputs, can be seen in the
next table:
Search in the table the intersection between
the desired function ine and•
the column of the desired function output.•
Shown is the number that should be entered in the relevant CV for the desired assignment. The
factory settings are shown in bold. If a function button should switch more outputs, simply add the
values of the desired functions.
Decoder reset
You can always reset the decoder to the factory settings.
Write a value of 08 to CV 08.
Firmware update
The interior lighting strip software can be updated at any time, to correct bugs or retrofit new func-
tions. For that you will need the ESU LokProgrammer 53451/53452 with the most recent PC software
for it. During the writing of parameter the firmware will be updated when appliccable.
