Configuration

1000
Bit 0 = 0 The „chuff" sound of a steam locomotive is
controlled by the locomotive speed. However, if a sensor
is present, its information shall be automatically used
in order to synchronize the „chuff" to the wheels.
Bit 0 = 1 The „chuff" sound of a steam locomotive is
controlled only by the sensor.
Bit 7 = 0 The module sound power output stage is
always turned on.
Bit 7 = 1 The module sound power output stage is
turned off if the sound is turned off.

Characteristics
• Intelligent sound control with up to 40 seconds of original sound coordinated to the operating situation
(i.e., speed, etc.) of the locomotive
• Generates the operating (motor) sound of the locomotive, "squealing" brakes, incidental noises while stationary

• Sound changes as engine load changes, such as up/down grade operation; reaction to load change can be adjusted
• The "Smart-Start": When starting the locomotive, the sound module stops the decoder from operating until the actual
starting of the vehicle synchronises with the sound of the motor. The locomotive does not move until the very starting
sound begins.
• Adjustable volume and audio muting: the sound can be faded or turned off by function key,
e. g. during travels into and away from a shadow station
• Provisions for a wheel sensor (e. g., reed contact, etc.) for synchronized exhaust sounds with steam locomotives

Description
The Intellisound sound module is an auxiliary module for locomotive decoders with the standardized SUSI interface, and can
0-8
2
be identified by the appropriate logo. The sound modules supply original, faithfully reproduced sounds of real locomotives.
Using "intelligent sound control" the sounds produced are adapted to match the locomotives actual operating environment.
0-8

Even when driving uphill and downhill, the sounds change to accurately reflect prototypical operation. When the locomotive
0-8
0
is supposed to start, the sound module will stop the motor from working (via the decoder) until the actual starting of the
vehicle synchronises with the sound of the motor. A diesel locomotive, for instance, roars right before it starts. The decoder
0-8

stops the train from moving until the roaring is over and the motor sound begins. If the locomotive is stopped, the appropriate
"squealing" brake sound is produced. While stationary, different operating noises for the-respective type of locomotive are
0-8
0
produced by chance (coal shovels, compressed air). With diesel locomotives, the engine startup and shutdown sounds can
be heard when this function is switched on and off. In addition to the driving (motor) sound of the locomotive, which can be
0-8
0
switched on and off using the appropriate function key, 3 more sounds can be triggered by function keys. Here, depending
0-8
0
upon the type of locomotive (as displayed in the table below), whistle, horn, bell, door warning / closing signal or uncoupling
sounds can be played.

If the locomotive travels out of the visible range of a model railway facility, e.g. into a shadow station, then "audio muting" can
be softly faded out by a special function key. By pressing the function key again, the sound is gradually faded in, adapting

itself to the existing driving conditions (i. e., sound synchronized to the motor speed).

Installation of a Sound modul

Connecting the SUSI-interface
Insert the plug with the red, blue, grey and black cable into the

appropriate socket of your loco-motive's motor decoder. The
sound module receives its power and data from the decoder.

Loudspeaker

Each speaker needs a resonator. It is sometimes possible to use
the locomotive body or the wagon body as resonator. If this is not possible, then please use the included plastic resonator. If

using the plastic resonator, please make sure that it is glued air-tight to the speaker. Please do close with glue also the hole
of the speaker cables as well as any other mounting hole present on the speaker/resonator.

The speaker is to be mounted inside the locomotive so that it faces the widest possible „aperture" towards the outside (e. g.,

close to a locomotive window, behind an open grid, etc.).
