2. CONTENTS
The soundcard generates
recorded and synthesised
sound which is adjustable
to reproduce the sounds
of most steam locos and
railmotors. The terminal
connections on the right
are necessary for the
soundcard to generate a
chuff which varies with
the loco speed and load.
The terminal connections
on the left trigger the various sounds where the locomotive controller has the appropriate outputs
available. The trigger terminals are labelled F1 to F7 and are referred to by these labels in these
instructions e.g. "Triggering F1" means to close a contact between the F1 terminal and the Battery
negative terminal.
Sounds can also be triggered by the infra-red TV remote control which works with the soundcard.
Although it can be used when running in the garden, the remote control is intended mainly for the
adjustment and testing of sounds due to its short range.
The remote control communicates with the soundcard via two infra-red receivers. One is located on
the soundcard and the other is on a flying lead which allows it to be fixed to any external surface of
the loco. Adjustments to the sounds can then be made without taking the loco apart to access the
soundcard.
3. CONFIGURING THE SOUNDCARD
The soundcard has three modes:
1. Sound setting mode in which you can select the sounds you want using the Mute button.
2. Operating setting in which you can choose the way the sounds are triggered using the Menu
button.
3. Run mode in which the soundcard does its job on your railway.
All sound settings are done using the TV remote control and we will cover that first. To place the
soundcard into Sound Setting mode point the remote control at the soundcard or the receiver on the end
of the flying lead and press the Mute button. The LED on the soundcard will blink slowly and all sounds
will cease. Next press one of the keys on the remote control and the number of beeps will indicate the
