(acceleration, deceleration) should also have an in-
fluence on the sound due to the associated in-
crease or decrease in load.
= 0: No influence (sound depends on speed step
only)
= 64: experience has shown this to be a practical
value
= 255: maximum acceleration response
(Highest sound step during acceleration)
Deceleration influence
On diesel sound steps
Same as CV #387 but used during decelerations.
= 0: No influence (sound depends on speed step
only)
= 64: experience has shown this to be a practical
value
= 255: maximum deceleration response
Limited acceleration in-
fluence on diesel sound
steps
This CV determines how far the sound step may
deviate during acceleration from the simple speed
step dependence (= difference between target
speed from the controller and actual speed).
= 0: No deviation; motor sounds according to
schedule, sound does not depend on acceleration.
= 1 - 254: Dependence increases with value.
= 255: fully dependent on target speed.
Momentum reduction
when driving solo (en-
gine only)
When switching to solo driving with key defined in
CV #347 the momentum reduction is activated
(with CV #348, Bit 1):
= 0 or 255: No reduction
= 128: Reduction to 50 %
= 64: Reduction to 25 %
= 1: virtually cancels all momentum.
Driving with
idle sound, when driv-
ing solo
The diesel motor sound should remain at idle when
driving solo (with function key defined in CV #347),
until the speed step defined in CV #391 is reached.
Bit 0 = 1: Loco shall not start driving before Start
Sound is fully played.

and higher
This special CV applies only to diesel-mechanical

This special CV applies only to diesel-mechanical

Turbocharger
Maximum volume
Minimum load for tur-

Turbo rpm dependency

Turbo playback frequency depending on engine

Turbocharger
Turbo rpm dependency
on accelerationfor DIE-

Acceleration
Playback frequency depends on the difference of
set speed to actual speed (= acceleration).
Turbocharger
Minimum load
Audibility threshold for turbochargers; the load is
derived from CV #367 and #368.

Frequency increase
Speed of frequency-increase of the turbocharger.
Turbocharger
Frequency decrease
Speed of frequency-decrease of the turbocharger.

Thyristor sound pitch:
“slow” pitch increase
Sound pitch for speed defined in CV #292.
Thyristor sound pitch:
Maximum pitch
Sound pitch at top speed.
Thyristor sound pitch:

Speed for sound pitch per CV #290.
Definition of the "maximum" speed level (1 - 255)
for which pitch applies according to CV #291.
Thyristor sound pitch:
Steady volume
Thyristor sound volume at steady speed (no ac-
celeration or deceleration in progress).
Thyristor sound pitch:
Volume at acceleration
Volume during acceleration
Thyristor sound pitch:
Volume at deceleration
Volume during heavier decelerations (braking)
Thyristor sound pitch:
Lowering
volume at
higher speed
Internal speed step at which the thyristor sound vol-
ume should be reduced. The volume stays at this
reduced level while braking.
By changing CV #158 Bit 6 = 1, the volume will be
raised while braking, nonetheless.
