09.11.2022 Class 101 N Special function mapping of the driver's cab and main beam lights
The locomotive decoder installed in this model has two special function outputs A1 & A2 which are used for train rear lighting.
Therefore, there is an additional controller for the mentioned light functions on the vehicle board.
This controller works like a function decoder and can be set as desired via CV programming.
The CV table in the PDF provides information on the programming to be used. The numbering of the outputs is independent of the numbering of the locomotive decoder.
The following applies to the additional controller of the BR 101 N:
A1 -> cab lighting FS1 (front)
A2 -> main beam FS1 (front)
A3 -> cab lighting FS2 (rear)
A6 -> main beam FS2 (rear)
If necessary, please activate the output of SUSI data on your decoder. Some decoders are set by default to output simple logic levels instead of SUSI data. Please refer to the manual of the decoder manufacturer. PIKO XP decoders activate SUSI data output when bit0 is written to 1 in CV47.
05.05.2022 Function decoder mini V2 #46212 Change of cable colour for output A2
Either a purple or a grey cable is used for function output A2.
26.05.2021 Class 216 special function mapping of the driver’s cab and engine room lighting.
The locomotive decoder installed in this model has two special function outputs A1 & A2 which are used for train rear lighting.
Therefore, there is an additional controller for the mentioned light functions on the circuit board.
This controller works like a function decoder and can be set as desired via CV programming.
The CV table in the PDF gives information about the programming to be used. The numbering of the outputs is independent of the numbering of the locomotive decoder.
For the additional controller of the BR 216 applies:
A1 - driver’s cab lighting FS1
A2 - driver’s cab lighting FS2
A3 - engine room lighting
