  • Page 14 Paragon 4 Chuff Control Synopsis The steam locomotive creates multiple chuff sounds when moving. At initial startup or after the locomotive is stopped for over 30 seconds, a steam cock sound occurs for several wheel rotations determined by CV196. The volume of the steam cock sounds is controlled by CV145.
  • Page 15 Chuff Control (cont) Locomotive Loading Control The locomotive power is monitored and filtered according to two CV’s. CV211 contains a threshold determining the required locomotive power needed to play the power chuff. Once the power level falls above or below the threshold, the chuff changes. CV189 contains a filter coefficient determining the convergence time and accuracy in measuring the locomotive’s power.
  • Page 16 Advanced DC Motor Control Dc operation with sounds creates a dilemma. The train usually will start moving at a very low track voltage, to low to power a loudspeaker with high quality sounds. A higher voltage of operation for the motor is an acceptable solution. About 8.0 volts is necessary before this sound system can function, producing loud, high quality sounds, with the motor powered and the train beginning to move.
  • Page 17 DC Motor Control Figure one illustrates a locomotive running in DC mode. The sound unit supplies full sound volume at about 8.0 volts (See CV131) and shuts down at about 7.5 volts (See CV132). Motor power is supplied around 8.5 volts (See CV252). Between 8.5 volts and 14 volts (The Control Range—CV252 and CV251), the sound unit monitors the track voltage and increase or decreases the motor speed as noted by the slope of control range in figure one.
  • Page 18 Enhanced Sounds Station Sounds Station Sounds are activated with the Function Key. From an initial power up start condition, press F14. A Station Sounds effect will play every time is pressed. Once the locomotive starts moving and for 10 seconds 1 of 4 different Station Departure sound effects will play.
  • Page 19 Enhanced Sounds Yard Sounds Yard Sounds are activated with the Function Key. From an initial power up start condition, press F15. A Yard Sounds effect will play every time is pressed. Once the locomotive starts moving and for 10 seconds 1 of 4 different Yard Departure sound effects will play.
  • Page 20 Consists Configuration Synopsis Consisting multiple DCC locomotives has become a daunting task due to more advanced lighting and sounds used in modern sound decoders. In addition, two methods are used by most DCC controllers to manage these consists. These two methods are Advanced Consists and Universal Consists.

CV230 for advanced DCC or DC consist performs the consisting functions for you. Easy Consist (CV230) The easy consist feature sets the decoder CV19 for consist 60.
  • Page 25 Decimal to Binary Primer Setting CV’s Setting the CV’s requires knowledge of conversion between binary and decimal. The following examples demonstrates the conversion process from binary to decimal after determining which bits in a CV need to be “1” and which needs to be “0”. The tables are also useful for converting binary to decimal.
