Description
The PIKO SmartDecoder
4.1 Sound PluX22
is a
powerful
multiprotocol
sound decoder of
the latest
generation
with
12 bit sounds,
high sample
frequencies, an
output
power
of 2.5
watts and a significantly
larger memory
depth for a
highquality
sound experience
without
interferences. lt can
be used with DCC-,
Selectrix
and
Motorola
digital systems
and
also with analog
AC or DC systems.
The decoder
is RailCom@ and
RailComPlus@
capable, the AC sound
versions
as are
also
mfx-capable.
The innovative
P|KO
SmartDecoder
4.1
Sound
with its many
braking
distance
functions
is
capable
to automatically
recognize the
operating
mode and
hasvarious
configurationaloptionsforthe
additionalfeatures.
The decoder
works on a
frequency of 18.75
kHz is therefore
not only suitable
for
DC
current
but
also
for bell-shaped
armature
motors
(
{e.9.
Faulhaber, Maxon, Escap) up
to a
permanent
current
of
1.2
A.
Temporary higher currents
up to
2 A are
well tolerated. Setting
of
the motor
characteristics
is
done
via minimum, medium and
maximum
speed
(simple
characteristic)
or
via
the extended characteristic
with individual adjustments
for
28
drive
positions.
The
decoder
has
two
headlight outputs depending
upon
direetion of
travel and
(depending
on
decoder
version)
up to seven additional
special
function outputs. Over and
above that, there
are 3 sensor
inputs,
e.g.
Reed
Contacts
or
Hall
Type
Sensors
on
the decoder,
two
are
in
the
SUS|-lnterface
with
one
as a solder
pad.
Slow
moving
extended
shunting operations
and
the three
possibilities
in starting
out and brake
action delays
can be set by
function
keys.

Make sure
that
no

is
possible
anywhere. Make sure that
no short-circuits can occur even after
closing
