Description
- 162 The state-of-the-art PIKO SmartDecoder XP 5.1 Sound inside in this PIKO locomotive is a compact yet powerful multi-
protocol PluX22 sound decoder. It features high fidelity, 12 bit 8-channel sound with 2.5 watts of output that ensures
Value
distortion-free sound at all levels. It complies with the current RCN standards in all areas. The decoder can be used on
*1
DCC, mfx®, and Motorola® digital systems as well as traditional DC or AC analog layouts. It automatically senses what
*4
operating mode is used on your layout and is RailCom®/RailCom Plus® compatible. The PIKO SmartDecoder XP 5.1

The PIKO SmartDecoder XP5.1 Sound is load-regulated and features auto-adaptive motor control that works with of
1 - 10239 1000 a fundamentally newly developed traditional DC motors for a silky smooth ride as well as 1.2 Amp coreless motors.
192 - 231 195
The decoder will also tolerate a temporary current draw up to 2 Amps. The motor speed table can be set using the
0 - 255 232
minimum, median, and maximum motor speed (simple curve), or by the user-programable 28-speed step extended
curve. The decoder features two directional lighting outputs and seven additional special function outputs that can be
Value
activated using function keys up to F68 (DCC). The switching (shunting) gear, with extended slow speed range, the
1
three possible starting and braking delays, as well as the many vehicle sounds are also switchable via function keys.

The sound part 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 Sound
1
Remove the jumper plug from your model's PluX22 interface. Insert the new sound decoder into the interface socket.

Note that PIN 11 is missing on the new decoder. Please install the loudspeaker as shown in the graphic of the "Spare
*2
parts list". Check for crossed wires and short circuits before and after reinstalling the shell. Place the model on your
0
programming track with programming mode activated on your DCC system. During programming or when reading the

*4
model's DCC address, a small amount of current will flow through the model, which does not affect the decoder; even

Special function outputs A1 to A7
*0
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.

First-time use of the decoder (state of delivery)
Enter address 3 on your digital control system. Depending on the data format used to address the sound decoder,
the locomotive runs in DCC mode with 28 speed steps or in Motorola® mode. When using a RailCom Plus®-enabled
system or with an mfx®-capable system, the decoder is detected automatically and can be operated immediately. If
the 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.
NOTE: In DC mode, your vehicle will not start until the voltage is higher (speed control turned up further) than you
may have been used to when operating with analog vehicles.
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 central control unit.
The corresponding values can be found in the CV table of the detailed operating instructions.
