LC SERIES DIGITAL SOUND DECODER OWNER’S MANUAL 25
Example 1:
To change F3 to control the FX1 output, locate the number at the intersection of the FX1 column
and F3 row, which is 2 and program CV 37 with this value.
Example 2:
A single function
key can be used to
simultaneously control
more than one output
or sound effect. Simply
program the corre-
sponding CV with the
sum of the numbers
located under each
output or effect to be
controlled. To use F3
to control both FX1
and FX2 for example,
program CV 37 to 2 +
4 = 6.
Step 6: Configuring
the Lighting Outputs
Depending on the mod-
el, the DSD-LC has two
to four function outputs
used for controlling the
locomotive lights. Each
can be set for a variety
of special lighting ef-
fects or simple on-off
lights. In addition, you
can use the Grade Crossing Logic to automatically activate the selected lighting effect when the
horn or whistle is blown.
The DSD-LC provides up to five CVs for customizing the light effects:
CV 49, Headlight Control Mode
CV 50, Backup light Control Mode
CV 51, FX1 Control Mode
CV 52, FX2 Control Mode
CV 59, Flash Rate & Hold Time
Setting the Hyperlight Effects
Each lighting output has a corresponding CV that determines its operating characteristics:
Hyperlight Select - Each output can be programmed to one of 15 Hyperlight™ Lighting Effects
as listed in Table F. (NOTE: The DSD-100LC supports only on/off and dimmable light effects.)
Most effects are self-descriptive. A few may need some additional comment:
· The dimmable headlight is normally an on/off output. When the output is on, the power level
will be reduced to 60% whenever the dimmer function (F7) is on.
· Type I and II Ditch lights are identical when operating. However, when the grade crossing logic
is enabled, the Type I ditch will revert to a steady on state when it is not flashing whereas the
Type II lights will turn off.
· The engine exhaust effect produces a random flicker whose intensity is proportional to the
engine RPMs and is useful for imitating unmuffled exhaust gases and sparks.
