Product description
The PIKO SmartDecoder XP F is a state-of-the-art multi-protocol function decoder that is both compact and powerful.
It complies with current RailCommunity standards in all areas and can be used with DCC, mfx® and Motorola® digital
systems. It also works in analog mode with DC or AC voltage. The decoder is RailCom® and RailCom Plus® compatible.
0
The decoder automatically senses whether the layout is being operated in digital or analog mode and responds accordingly.
The decoder maintains 6 amplified function outputs. Thanks to its extended function mapping, the outputs can be switched
3
via function keys up to F68 (DCC). The decoder's advanced power management keeps the PIKO SmartDecoder XP
F running cool and operational in the event of short-term voltage loss.

Connection of the PIKO SmartDecoder XP F
195
232 If the PIKO SmartDecoder XP F is to be used for a PIKO lighting board, the individual cables are soldered to the
corresponding solder pads on the lighting board as described in the instructions for the lighting board. If the decoder
is installed in a vehicle without connection options provided for this purpose, the black cable is connected to the
left current collector (2-wire) or to the vehicle chassis (3-wire). The red wire is connected to the right-hand current
collector (2-wire) or to the vehicle wiper (3-wire). The loads to be connected are connected to the corresponding
cables of the decoder. To do this, they are connected with one pole to the desired function output and with the
second pole to the blue cable (+). If one pole of the load is permanently connected to the vehicle chassis, the blue
cable (+) must not be used. The brown cable (GND) is only required for connecting an optional buffer circuit.

Assignment of the cable colours
Red -> track right, wiper
Black -> track left, vehicle chassis
Blue -> Common positive pole (+)
Brown -> Decoder ground (GND)
When connecting LEDs, ensure that the correct series resistor and polarity are used. Make sure that no wires are
0
bent and there are no short circuits before you replace the model's shell onto the chassis. The model should now
be placed on a programming track to be given a DCC address. When programming or reading CVs, there are small
amounts of current that flow which do not damage the decoder.

CAUTION:
Soldering on the decoder and on the model should only be done by experienced hobbyists. The warranty

First-time use of the decoder
64
Place the model on the programming track and bring up DCC address 3 on your controller. Depending on the data format
16
with which it was addressed, the decoder works in 28-step DCC mode or in Motorola mode. When using a RailCom
32
Plus-compatible® DCC system or an mfx-compatible® DCC system, the decoder logs in automatically and can be
64
operated immediately. If the decoder is used on conventional analog systems, it can be controlled with a traditional DC
128
or AC throttle. The decoder will automatically detect what type of control system is in use.

Function outputs in analog operation
The decoder can be programmed so that functions F0 – F12 operate during analog operation. To do this, CVs 13 &
0
14 must first be programmed with a digital control center. The corresponding values can be found in the CV table. F0
(light function) is factory-set to ON.
Motorola
®
To activate functions F1 - F16 when used with Motorola-format control systems, the decoder has four possible Motorola®
addresses for each function key F1 - F16. For example, address 3 would switch functions F1 – F4. Next, address 4
would switch functions F5 – F8. Then, address 5 would switch functions F9 – F12, and so on. The additional addresses
can be activated in CV61 as required by the values 1 (F5 - F8), 2 (F5 - F12), or 3 (F5 - F16).
