PIKO SmartDecoder XP 5.1 Next18 User Manual

NOTE: Detailed information on the PIKO SmartDecoder XP 5.1 is available as a PDF le on our Webshop
on the page of the respective item number. The le contains a full description of all functions and
operating possibilities for the new SmartDecoder XP 5.1.
Description
The state-of-the-art PIKO SmartDecoder XP 5.1 inside in this PIKO locomotive is a compact yet powerful multi-protocol
Next18 decoder. It complies with the current RCN standards in all areas and can be used in DCC and Motorola® digital
systems. The decoder can be used on DC or AC analog layouts. It automatically senses what operating mode is used
on your layout and is RailCom®/RailCom Plus® compatible. The SmartDecoder XP 5.1 features several programmable
braking distance functions in addition to numerous other programmable functions.
The PIKO SmartDecoder XP5.1 Sound is load-regulated and features auto-adaptive motor control that works with
of a fundamentally newly developed traditional DC motors for a silky smooth ride as well as 1 Amp coreless motors.
The motor speed table can be set using the minimum, median, and maximum motor speed (simple curve), or by the
user-programable 28-speed step extended curve. The decoder has two direction-dependent lighting outputs, as well
as six additional special function outputs (including 4x logic level) that can be switched via function keys up to F68
(DCC). The switching (shunting) gear, with extended slow speed range, the three possible starting and braking delays,
as well as the many vehicle sounds are also switchable via function keys. The sound of a suitable SUSI sound module
can control specied function outputs as well as the motor output of the decoder. For example, the lighting of a diesel
locomotive ickers when the engine is started. The PIKO SmartDecoder XP 5.1 is supported by the further developed
power management in case of short-term voltage loss.
Installing the PIKO SmartDecoder XP 5.1
Remove the jumper plug from your model’s Next18 interface. Insert the new decoder into the interface socket. Appropriate
installation space limitations in the vehicles should ensure torsion resistance. Check for crossed wires and short circuits
before and after reinstalling the shell. Place the model on your programming track with programming mode activated on
your DCC system. During programming or when reading the model’s DCC address, a small amount of current will ow
through the model, which does not affect the decoder; even in the event of a short circuit.
Special functions
The decoder’s special function outputs A1 and A2 can only be activated if the desired functions are already connected to
the model’s
Next18 interface or if solder pads are available for the special function outputs on the main circuit board.
Outputs A3 - A6 provide logic levels and must be wired accordingly on the main board.
For further information on the use of these function outputs with logic level (A3 - A6), please refer to the detailed
operating instructions.
SUSI interface
The decoder’s SUSI interface is controlled by the Next18 interface. If the main circuit board of the model is equipped
with a SUSI interface, you can either use a PIKO sound module with SUSI or a suitable single-function decoder. You
can nd which CV should be programmed for its respective function output in the operating instructions. The decoder
is factory set to send data to the PIKO sound module via the SUSI interface.
CAUTION: Soldering the decoder itself should only be done by experienced DCC professionals using appropriate
equipment. Decoders damaged by improper handling are not covered by the warranty.
First-time use of the decoder (state of delivery)
Enter address 3 on your DCC control system. Depending on your DCC system‘s data format, the decoder will
operate using 28 speed steps or in Motorola® mode. When using a RailCom Plus®-enabled DCC system, the
decoder is recognized in a few seconds and can be operated immediately. If the decoder is used on a conventional
analog layout, it can be controlled with a DC or AC power pack. The decoder will automatically detect the layout’s
operating mode.
NOTE: In DC analog mode, your model will only start at a higher voltage than what you may accustomed to when
operating analog models. You will need to turn the throttle up for the model to start operating.
