Please make sure you do not confuse the
terminals. Wrong wiring may cause damage
or destruction of the decoder – despite the
protective circuitry!
Connect the right wheel pick-up to terminal 1-1 and
the left one to terminal 1-2. Terminals 1-3, 1-4 and
1-6 are reserved for the motor. For DC and coreless
motors only terminals 1-3 and 1-6 are used. Details are
described in Chapter 3.2.3.1 and 3.2.3.2
A wheel sensor can be wired to terminals 1-4 and 1-
5. Details are explained in Chapter 3.2.6.1
The speaker is to be connected to terminals 1-8 and
1-9. Installation of the speaker is explained in Chapter
3.2.4. Terminal strip 2 serves for the wiring of
headlights and auxiliary functions only.
Please note that the common of all outputs is
terminal 2-9 (positive voltage). Details are
explained in Chapter 3.2.5.2 and 3.2.5.3.
3.2.3.1 Connecting a DC- or coreless
motor
According to the general wiring diagram on page 12.
Please note, that any suppression chokes should
remain in the motor leads. The parameters for load
control vary depending on the type of motor (Bühler,
Mabuchi, Faulhaber) and have to be adjusted
accordingly. Also refer to Chapter 5.2.1
When wiring the motor, please note that terminals
1-3 and 1-6 are used (the ones in between remain
disconnected)!
3.2.3.2 Connecting an alternating
current (with field coils) motor
To simplify the modification of older I gauge models
with universal motors (with field coils) the motor
can be wired straight to the LokSoundXL decoder:
The field coil is wired to the terminals 1-3 and 1-6.
Swapping the terminals results in change of direction.
The suppressor choke remains with one contact on
the motor terminal. The other lead is wired to termi-
nal 1-4 of the decoder. As soon as a universal motor
is connected to LokSoundXL, load control is
automatically switched off. Universal motors are
not suitable for load control.

3.2.4 Installing the speaker
You may only use the specially adapted speakers (1
Watt, 32 Ohm) provided by ESU GmbH & Co. KG for
LokSoundXL decoders.
speaker
chamber
Other speakers will distort the sound and may cause
damage or destruction of the decoder.
We can not recommend the use of speakers designed
for HO decoders either.
The appropriate location within the model is crucial
for excellent sound reproduction. A speaker without
the sound chamber will never generate excellent
sound. Therefore carefully select the space for the
speaker and the sound chamber within the model.The
speaker must be installed in such a way that the
sound waves are not unduly blocked.
Please handle speakers with extreme care:
don't apply pressure or touch the membrane!
The speaker's magnets are very powerful! Keep
all metal items away and secure the speaker
firmly when soldering.
Connect the speaker to the terminals 1-8 and 1-9 of
the LokSoundXL module. Make sure that you use a
small soldering iron (max. 20W) and only heat the
marked spots as shown in the figure (close to the
edge of the small contact plate). Polarity is not
important. Make sure no solder drips on the
membrane.
An optimal sound effect is achieved by putting the
speaker in a sound chamber, which is supplied with
the speaker. This will increase the sound pressure and
channel the direction of sound. Without sound
chamber the sound effect may be unsatisfactory.
Feed the speaker wires through a small hole into the
sound chamber.
