PIKO SmartDecoder 4.1 G Quick Start Manual

CV Description
1 Locomotive address
2 Minimum speed (the speed from 0 until the locomotive is running at speed step 1)
Acceleration delay
1 means every 5 milliseconds the actual motor speed is increased by 1. If the maximum
3
motor speed is 200 (CV 5 = 50 or CV 94 = 200), then the acceleration rate from 0 to
maximum speed is 1 second
4 Braking rate (time factor like CV 3)
5 Maximum speed (must be greater than CV 2)
Average speed (must be greater than CV 2 and less than CV 5)

Description
48
The PIKO SmartDecoder 4.1 G decoder is a powerful and compact multiprotocol decoder for G scale locos, that can be
24
used with standard DCC, Selectrix, and Motorola digital systems as well as in DC or AC analog mode. It automatically
differently detects the operating system in use.
162 This load regulated decoder operates on an 18.75 kHz frequency and are designed for standard DC motors as well
2000 as bell-shaped armature motors (i.e. Faulhaber, Maxon, Escap) that draw up to 1.2 A. Temporarily higher current levels
up to 2 A are easily tolerated.
199
The decoder is both RailCom
208
reduced speed sections.
The motor voltage can be controlled either by a simple three-step motor speed curve, with minimum, midpoint
and maximum voltage settings, or by a user-loadable speed curve, with 28 individually-set speed steps.
The decoder provides two directional lighting outputs, as well as seven additional special funtion outputs. Slow-speed
switching mode, with extended slow-speed range, along with three accelleration and braking rates, can be controlled
via function keys.

Installing the G PIKO SmartDecoder 4.1 G
The decoder may be mounted with the screws provided.
Make sure that there is no short circuit caused by the mounting screws. When you install the decoder, make sure that
there are no conductive connections anywhere inside the vehicle.
Connection of the G PIKO SmartDecoder 4.1 G
Install the decoder carefully according to the connection plan in this manual and the separate special wiring scheme.
Use an ohmmeter to check whether the installation is correct. Check for crossed wires and short circuits before and after
0
reinstalling the shell.
The decoder is protected against shorts and overload. However, if during the installation cables are reversed or if shorts
occur between functions (e.g. wheel set and motor), the protection will not work anymore and the decoder will be damaged.
We disclaim all responsibility and guarantee in case of misuse or damage of the decoder.
1
Place the model on your programming track with programming mode activated on your DCC system. During programming
2
or when reading the model's DCC address, a small amount of current will fl ow through the model, which does not affect
4
the decoder; even in the event of a short circuit.

Special functions A1 bis A8
The special function outputs A1 to A8 of the decoder are placed on the right screw terminal of the decoder (Image 1).
The power consumers connected to this terminal will be provided with current by the U+ terminal. You can fi nd detailed
information about all connections in the detailed instructin manual.

SUSI interface
0
At the SUSI interface of the PIKO SmartDecoder 4.1 G you can either use a PIKO sound module with SUSI or a
suitable single-function decoder.
You can fi nd which CV should be programmed for its respective function output in the operating instructions.
The decoder is factory set to send data to the PIKO sound module via the SUSI interface.
