Adjust Lamp Brightness; Blinking Frequency And Duration Of Cycle; Blinking Light On Aux2 And F6; Braking Time On / Off With F5 - Esu LokPilot V2.0 User Manual

There is one CV fro each output (CV 113 - 116), in
which the desired mode can be saved. Please note
that you can deactivate each output by setting it to 0
if it is not required. Ex works the lighting outputs are
set to „on" and for steam engines AUX – 1 is to be
switched with the headlight button.

Adjust lamp brightness

The LokPilot V2.0 offers the feature to adjust the
brightness of lamps in 15 steps in order to adapt the
light intensity optimally to the specific model. The
lamps are supplied with pulses, i.e. they are switched
on and off very frequently. The desired brightness (0
– 15) must be set in the appropriate control CV (113
– 116) by adding it to the value corresponding with
the type of function.

Blinking frequency and duration of cycle

CV 112 determines the blinking frequency (subject to
the duration of the cycle) as well as the „on/off" ration
for all outputs set to blinking.
The cycle can be set in 33 different steps. The cycle is
always a multiple of 65.5 milli seconds. The „on/off"
ratio can be set in 16 steps (from 1/16 to 16/16). At
a ratio of 8/16 the „on" and „off" period is equally
long. The value to be entered in control CVs 113 –
116 can be calculated as follows:
Cycle (value: 0-15) + 16 + On / Off ratios.

smoke generator on AUX 1 and F5.
Let's assume you want to operate a smoke generator
with function button F5 and output AUX 1.
Output AUX 1 must be activated and the F5-button
has to be assigned:
First you activate the output; in this case we want a
continuous output (dimming setting at 100%
brightness). CV 115 is responsible for this output. The
value to be entered in CV 115 has to be calculated as
follows: 15 for maximum brightness.
Now the function button has to be assigned to output
AUX 1: Have a look at figure 4: Control CV 171 is
responsible for button F5 in forward mode (third
column). You have to enter in CV 171 which functions
should be triggered with F5. If you follow the row for
F5 in the table in figure 4 to the right until it meets
user manual LokPilot V2.0 / LokPilot DCC V2.0 01/2005
the column for function AUX 1 you will find a number
in the heading of this column. In our example it is a
„4". This value has to be written into CV 171. Then
the F5 button controls AUX 1. Thus the function is
switched in forward mode. In order to also switch
this function in back up mode you have to enter the
same value in CV 174.

Blinking light on AUX2 and F6.

A blinking light should be wired to AUX 2 and assigned
to the F6-button. The brightness is to be set to 6/15
of maximum brightness. The blinking cycle and on/
off ration are to be set as described above. First we
need to activate output AUX 2 and set it to blinking
mode. CV 116 is responsible for this. In our example
we enter 32 (for blinking mode) + 5 (corresponds to
6/15 of maximum brightness) = 37.
Now we have to assign AUX 2 to button F6. The
control CV 177 is responsible for F6. We enter in this
CV which functions should be switched with the F6
button. If you follow the row for „F6 forward" in the
table in figure 4 to the right until it meets the column
for AUX 2 you find the number „8" at the top of the
column. This value has to be entered into CV 177.
Now the F6 button switches AUX 2 in forward mode.
To also set the F6 button for back up mode, enter
value 8 in CV 183.

Braking time On / Off with F5.

Acceleration / deceleration should be controlled with
F5. Since acceleration / deceleration does not represent
a physical output but rather a logical output this
function does not have to be configured. Only the
button F5 has to be assigned to acceleration /
deceleration. This is done with CV 172 where you
enter the value „1" (also refer to figure ??). If this
function should also work in back up mode value „1"
has to be entered in CV 175. For configuring function
outputs we recommend using your PC and the ESU
LokProgrammer.
The LokPilot V2.0 decoder offers many possibilities
and combinations of functions and therefore a PC
and the ESU LokProgrammer (Art. No.: 53450) are
extremely useful for programming.
