6.9.3. LokSound 5 L

The LokSound 5 L has two speaker outputs. At each independently speakers of
different size and impedance can be connected. We recommend speakers with
4 to 8 ohms. Both speaker outputs provide identical sound data.

6.9.3.1. Volume control ext.

For external setting a volume control can be switched closed optional. Use
potentiometer 10k impedance and> 0.1W power (eg Piher PT 10 LV). Make
alternate governor to the shortest possible wiring between the decoder and input
to avoid noise.

6.10. Connecting additional functions

You can connect to the function outputs any consumers such as light bulbs,
LEDs, smoke generators or similar Toggle, provided the maximum current
consumption is less than the load capacity of the function output. The maximum
output current of the function outputs for each decoder in the Technical Data
Section 5.1.5. to find.
Make sure that the maximum permissible current is exceeded under any
circumstances and avoid short circuits be- tween the outputs: The outputs of
the LokSound have protection but if an external voltage is applied at the
outputs, can be destroyed them too.
Decoupling capacitors disconnect!

6.10.1. Overload protection of the function outputs (light flash)
The function outputs of LokSound decoders are electronically protected against
overload and short circuit. The decoder always checks this current total output
current of all function outputs. If this is too high, all outputs are switched off
together. After a short time (about 1 second) comparable to the decoder
examines the outputs back on. If the power - through short - still too high, so the
game begins anew.
