10.7.2. AC analogue operation

In AC analogue mode you can adjust the starting speed with CV
127 and the maximum speed with CV 128.
The motor is switched off again as soon as the throttle voltage
goes below a certain value.
Normally this value is equal to the switch on voltage (CV 127) but
can be lowered by an "Offset". This offset is stored in CV 130.
Functions such as lights and sound can be turned on in advance
even when another (usually lower) voltage independent of the
motor. To achieve this, the offset is written into CV 129.
The behaviour can be described as follows:
Motor on
Motor off
Functions on
Functions off

10.8. Motor brake

LokPilot XL V4.0
If so desired the LokPilot XL V4.0 decoder can short circuit the
motor when the locomotive is stationary. This "fixing brake" can
prevent the inadvertent rolling away of the locomotive on a down-
hill gradient respectively reduce the curl.
The motor brake can be turned on by setting bit 6 in CV 124.
The motor brake is only active as long as track voltage is avail-
able.

When you connect an external capacitor or PowerPack, you are
able to make the decoder switch off after a certain time. CV113 is
responsible for that, since you are able to determine at what time
the decoder is to switch off (as a multiple of 0.0164 seconds). You
should set a time between 0.3 and 1.0 seconds to prevent your
locos from driving too far during an emergency.
From firmware version 4.6. the LokPilot decoder has installed an
"energy saving mode": If the decoder recognises a dirty spot on
the tracks, it will automatically reduce its volume to save energy.
Usually you will barely notice the volume reduction, if at all. If
you use larger capacitors or the PowerPack, the volume reduction
is, however, unwelcome. Thus the volume reductions only active
when value <= 10 is set in CV113.
