Hook-Up
Install your device in compliance with the connecting diagrams in this manual.
The device is protected against shorts and excessive loads. However, in case of a connection error e.g. a short this safety feature can’t work and the device will be destroyed subsequently.
Make sure that there is no short circuit caused by the mounting screws or metal.

mxion BASIC Simple Sound Module - 1
Product description

The mXion BASIC-S is a very simple one sound module for analog and digital systems.
There are a number of ready-made sounds for the BASIC-S (on request at any time expandable). By the using a single processor without external memory chips this module is one very attractive price available.
The prefabricated sounds (steam, diesel, and electric) are kept simple and have none noise.
But it is possible in digital up to 3 additional sounds (horn, bell and whistle) retrieve.
Even different settings, f-key assignment is programmable. In addition, the volume via CV and poti set a clock connected and the sound (in digital mode) on/off. Even mute is possible and poti will be automaticly known.
The clock simulation (or external clock) is adjustable.
Ideally, this sound module is also possible for „fun“ sounds like Coca-Cola® songs, chicken dance, christmas songs and much more. The library is being continually expanded so you can chosse from a wide selection can.
Do you have a wish? No problem, we like to produce a sound file for you.

Church bell sound

A special feature is the church sound. This realistic, high quality bell sound one european small church offers various tax possibilities. For one thing, quite normally via a function key and locomotive address as usual. But the control is special by chance (CV127) and can be via CV129 the minimum time interval can be adjusted. CV130 indicates how long the playing time of the bell sounds is running. Control via the digital is special (accelerated) model train time. Here sends the head office (if it supports it) one (possibly accelerated) model train time. The module can be configured based on this time be and it is therefore a pinpoint triggering after the model train time such as every modelt rain hour or every 6 hours. This can be set in CV128. This CV indicates the division factor. Speak a value of 6 would trigger every 6 hours correspond.
If you add 128 (in this case 134) would trigger every 6 minutes be called.

Note: Not all digital central stations support the model train time (e.g. like our 30Z will do it). Unless it supports the digital control, the module itself counts the time at system start high in real time (1 sec = 1 sec).
In analoge, the bell came with random, also also can be triggered by manuel.

Programming lock

To prevent accidental programming to prevent CV 15/16 one programming lock. Only if CV 15 = CV 16 is a programming possible. Changing CV 16 changes automatically also CV 15.
With CV 7 = 16 can the programming lock reset.

STANDARD VALUE CV 15/16 = 130

Programming options

This decoder supports the following programming types: bitwise, POM and CV read & write and register-mode.
There will be no extra load for programming.
In POM (programming on maintrack) the programming lock is also supported.
The decoder can also be on the main track programmed without the other decoder to be influenced. Thus, when programming the decoder can not be removed.
NOTE: To use POM without others decoder must affect your digital center POM to specific decoder adresses

Programming binary values
Some CV’s (e.g. 29) consist of so-called binary values. The means that several settings in a value. Each function has a bit position and a value. For programming such a CV must have all the significances can be added. A disabled function has always the value 0.
EXAMPLE: You want 28 drive steps and long loco address. To do this, you must set the value in CV 29 2 + 32 = 34 programmed.

Buffer control
Connect buffer directly DEC+ and DEC-.
The capacitors need, provided no charging electronics is included, with a resistor of 120 ohms and a diode in parallel between DEC+ and the port (+) of the buffer be switched. The dash on the diode (cathode) must be connected to DEC+ become. The decoder contains none buffer control unit.

Programming loco adress
Locomotives up to 127 are programmed directly to CV 1. For this, you need CV 29 Bit 5 „off“ (will set automaticly).
If larger addresses are used, CV 29 – Bit 5 must be „on“ (automaticly if change CV 17/18). The address is now in CV 17 and CV 18 stored. The address is then like follows (e.g. loco address 3000):
3000 / 256 = 11,72; CV 17 is 192 + 11 = 203.
3000 – (11 x 256) = 184; CV 18 is then 184.

Reset functions
The decoder can be reset via CV 7. Various areas can be used for this purpose.
Write with the following values:
11 (basic functions)
16 (programming lock CV 15/16)
