Description

1 Locomotive address

Acceleration delay,
1 means every 5 milliseconds the actual motor speed is increased by 1. If the maximum

motor speed is 200 (CV 5 = 50 or CV 94 = 200), then the acceleration rate from 0 to
maximum speed is 1 second

Description
differently
The state-of-the-art PIKO SmartDecoder XP 5.1 inside in this PIKO locomotive is a compact yet powerful multi-protocol
162
PluX22 decoder. It complies with the current RCN standards in all areas and can be used in DCC, mfx® and Motorola®
digital systems. The decoder can be used on DC or AC analog layouts. It automatically senses what operating mode
is used on your layout and is RailCom®/RailCom Plus® compatible. The SmartDecoder XP 5.1 features several
117 programmable braking distance functions in addition to numerous other programmable functions.
The PIKO SmartDecoder XP5.1 Sound is load-regulated and features auto-adaptive motor control that works with of
a fundamentally newly developed traditional DC motors for a silky smooth ride as well as 1.2 Amp coreless motors.
1000
The decoder will also tolerate a temporary current draw up to 2 Amps. The motor speed table can be set using the
195
minimum, median, and maximum motor speed (simple curve), or by the user-programable 28-speed step extended
232
curve. The decoder features two directional lighting outputs and seven additional special function outputs that can be
activated using function keys up to F68 (DCC). The switching (shunting) gear, with extended slow speed range, the
three possible starting and braking delays, as well as the many vehicle sounds are also switchable via function keys.
0
The sound of a suitable SUSI sound module can control specified function outputs as well as the motor output of the
decoder. For example, the lighting of a diesel locomotive flickers when the engine is started. The PIKO SmartDecoder
XP 5.1 is supported by the further developed power management in case of short-term voltage loss.

Installing the PIKO SmartDecoder XP 5.1

Remove the jumper plug from your model's PluX22 interface. Insert the new decoder into the interface socket. Note that
PIN 11 is missing on the new decoder. Check for crossed wires and short circuits before and after reinstalling the shell.
Place the model on your programming track with programming mode activated on your DCC system. During programming
or when reading the model's DCC address, a small amount of current will flow through the model, which does not affect
14
the decoder; even in the event of a short circuit.

Special functions A1 to A7

The decoder's special function outputs A1 to A7 can only be activated if the desired functions are already connected to
the model's PluX22 interface or if solder pads are available for the special function outputs on the main circuit board.
A short circuit in the motor, lighting, pick-up wiper, or wheelsets can destroy the
0

SUSI interface

1
The decoder's SUSI interface is controlled by the PluX22 interface. If the main circuit board of the model is equipped
2
with a SUSI interface, you can either use a PIKO sound module with SUSI or a suitable single-function decoder. You
4
can find which CV should be programmed for its respective function output in the operating instructions. The decoder
8
is factory set to send data to the PIKO sound module via the SUSI interface.

CAUTION: Soldering the decoder itself should only be done by experienced DCC professionals using appropriate
8
equipment. Decoders damaged by improper handling are not covered by the warranty.

First-time use of the decoder (state of delivery)

64
16 Enter address 3 on your DCC control system. Depending on your DCC system's data format, the decoder will
operate using 28 speed steps or in Motorola® mode. When using a RailCom Plus®-enabled DCC system or with
32
64 an mfx®-capable system, the decoder is recognized in a few seconds and can be operated immediately. If the
128
decoder is used on a conventional analog layout, it can be controlled with a DC or AC power pack. The decoder will
automatically detect the layout's operating mode.
9
NOTE: In DC analog mode, your model will only start at a higher voltage than what you may accustomed to when
8
operating analog models. You will need to turn the throttle up for the model to start operating.
Function Outputs in analog mode
It is possible to program the decoder so that function keys F0 - F12 (as they are assigned in the function mapping)
can also be activated in analog mode. To do this, CVs 13 & 14 must first be programmed with a DCC central control
unit. The corresponding values can be found in the CV table of the detailed operating instructions. The light function
F0 is factory-set to "on."
