Switch Output To Gnd; Lighting Effects; Fade-In And Fade-Out Times; Delay Times - Esu SignalPilot 51840 Instruction Manual

Switch output to GND

6.9.1. Switch output to GND
Here, the „Pull" configuration of the output can be activated if
this is not to be done simultaneously for all outputs of the signal.

6.9.2. Lighting effects

Various lighting effects can be assigned to each individual output.
The following lighting effects (modes) are available:
• Dimmable Light (fade-in and fade-out): Here the output is slowly
dimmed up and simulates the slow beginning of the glow of oil
lamps or old incandescent lamps.
• Fire Box: A fire box is simulated here that can also be used as
flickering light for campfires or candles.
• Single Strobe: This mimics a single flash played repeatedly. The
frequency can be set.
• Double Strobe: This mimics a double flash played repeatedly. The
frequency can be set.
• Blinking Light: The „classic" blinking light. The frequency can be
set. The „Swapping phases" option inverts the on and off phase
to represent an alternating blinking beacon.
• Fluorescent Light: Simulates the typical flickering of fluorescent
lamps.
• Single Strobe Random: Like Single Strobe, but the exact time of
the flash is randomly chosen.
• Defective Fluorescent Light: A defective fluorescent lamp that ne-
ver turns on.
• Motorised Turnout: Effect for motorised turnout drives. The revs of
the motor can be reduced if it turns too fast.

6.9.3. Fade-in and fade-out times

Every light can be faded-in and -out if so desired. The change-over
time can be set with the two sliders.
The checkboxes „Extended fade-in time" respectively „Extended
fade-out time" change the scale to allow for the setting of longer
change-over times e.g.: for street lighting.

6.9.4. Delay times

Upon request, every light can also be turned on or off with a
certain delay. The times can be set separately with the sliders.
Especially with daylight signals in combination with fade-in and
fade-out times, switch-on delays can ensure that two lights are not
(inadmissibly) briefly active at the same time.
The output can also be switched off automatically after a certain
delay. This is useful e.g.: for subsidiary signals, which are generally
displayed only for a short time.
