Function outputs
In order to set each output, you should proceed as follows:
1. From the chart fig. 20 on the previous page, select the value for
the Mode Select CV.
2. Compute the value for the Special Function CV by adding the
values you can find in the chart figure 20 below the corre-
sponding special function.
3. Define the value for the desired brightness.
4. Write the values into the CV corresponding to the appropriate
function output.
Repeat these steps for all 6 function outputs you want to configure.
Example: Double Strobe with LEDs on AUX4.
We want to set up AUX4 to create a Double strobe output. We
want to use an LED.
1. Using figure 20, we find that the Mode Selection CV must be
set to 5.
2. We find out that for LED compensation mode, we should set
the Special function CV to 128.
3. We want to have a brightness level of 25.
4. Using the table on the left side, we find that the Mode Select
CV for AUX4 is 299. We set CV 299 = 5. We also find that the
brightness CV is 302 and set it to 25. Finally, the Special func-
tion CV for AUX4 is 303 and needs to be set to 128.
12.3.3. Grade Crossing holding time
You can define the for time the global grade crossing function
as you like. By doing so, the "Grade Crossing" will remain active,
also after switching off the function key. This will create a very
interesting game effect. The desired value will be stored in CV
132. The value of CV 132 multiplied with 0.065 seconds defines
the time. The default value 80 results in 5.2 seconds.
12.3.4. Flash Rate
You can also set the flash rate for all lighting effects globally. All
effects will flash or strobe at the same rate. The desired value
should be stored in CV 112. The value of CV 112 multiplied with
0.065536 seconds (65,536ms) defines the flash rate. The default
value 30 results in 1.97 seconds.

12.3.5. Automatic Switch-off
Each output usually switches off when the corresponding key is
deactivated. However, sometimes the output has to be "forced"
to switch off after a certain period of time to aviod damages.
Digital couplers by ROCO® e.g. cannot handle permanent control.
Via the automatic switch-off function you are able to determine
for every output when it should be switched off automatically - no
matter if the function key is still activated.
Just write the time, after which the output should be switched
off, into the corresponding CV according to the above-mentioned
table on page 45. The unit is 0.4 seconds. The default value „0"
deactivates this function.
12.3.6. Digital Couplers
LokSound V4.0
LokSound micro V4.0
Some LokSound decoders can directly control digital couplers.
Subject to the type of coupler, you must adjust certain settings.
12.3.6.1. „Coupler" Mode
Krois® and ROCO® couplers need a special high frequency PWM
signal to avoid burning the copper windings of the coil. This spe-
cial function „Coupler" provides this type of signal. In this mode,
the output switches on at 100% for 250 ms and then reduces
the output power by switching to the PWM-signal. The ratio be-
tween Off and On time can be set by adjusting the „Brightness
Value" from 0 (completely off) to 31 (connected through = 100%
output).
This coupler mode should also be used for modern Telex®-
couplers.
