Important hints

3. Important hints – Please read this first!

We congratulate you to your purchase of an ESU smoke generator.

This manual aims to inform you step by step regarding the electri-

cal connection of this module.

In order avoiding any defects or damages please read this manual

carefully prior to installing the product!

•The smoke generator is exclusively to be used in electric model

trains and model train layouts. It may only be operated with the

components described in this manual.

•The smoke generator gets quite hot (more than 100°C). Avoid

touching it and choose the location for installing it in such a man-

ner that no damage can occur.

•Never turn the smoke generator upside down if its tank is ﬁlled.

Leaking oil may lead to burns.

•Only work on the electrical connections when the power is tur-

ned off.

•Adhere to the wiring principles when connecting the product as

presented in this manual.

•Protect the product against moisture and humidity.

•Wires may never touch any metal parts of the locomotive.

•For preventing short circuits please make sure there are no wires

squeezed when reassembling the locomotive.

4. General properties

The ESU smoke generator Dual for G and 1 Gauge models as well

as for larger 0 Gauge models generators realistic smoke and steam

clouds of your models. Both an exhaust steam and a cylinder

steam are integral to the housing. Two fan motors and two hea-

ting systems are separately controlled by the electronics subject to

state of movement. Sensors keep the desired heating temperature

independently of track voltage and ﬁll level and prevents a burn

out in case of an empty tank.

The smoke generator is optimised for operating with our Lok-

Sound 5 XL and LokSound 5 L decoders. In combination with

these decoders the desired amount of smoke can be precisely

adapted to the sound ﬂow. When connected to an ESU decoder

there is no need for any programming of the smoke generator.

5. Scope of delivery

With its dimensions of 69 x 33 mm (39 mm including the moun-

ting tabs) the smoke generator is relatively compact. The electro-

nics are separated from the mechanical part and connected with

a wire harness.

The following parts are contained in the scope of delivery:

•Smoke generator with separate circuit board (connected with wire

harness)

•Wire harness

•PVC tube (9 mm diameter) for cylinder steam

6. Installation of the smoke generator

Install the smoke generator at a suitable spot below the exhaust.

The spacing between the smoke generator and the opening of

the body should be as small as possible, but you should assure a

minimum distance of 1cm from the plastic locomotive body. Assu-

re a straight line for the exhaust for allowing condensed smoke to

drop back into the tank.

You may use the supplied silicone tube for establishing an airtight

connection between smoke generator and the opening in the

body. Shorten the silicone tubing as necessary.

6.1 Filling the system

The smoke distillate is ﬁlled into the tank through the exhaust ope-

ning. There is only one tank for both exhaust smoke and cylinder

steam. Only use ESU smoke distillate (part number 51990). Using

other liquids may cause damage to the paint ﬁnish, blocking the

system or destroying the heater unit due to accumulated residue.

Only activate the smoke function if somebody is present in well

aired (ventilated) rooms. The maximum ﬁlling capacity is 3.5ml.

This serves for about 10 minutes of operation.

Never exceed the maximum ﬁlling capacity of the system. If in

doubt, use a bit less rather than too much! The smoke generator

cannot be damaged even when the tank is empty!

Installation

Make sure the locomotive is on level ground when ﬁlling the tank,

never on gradient´, do not turn the locomotive sideways or upside

down! This avoids leaking distillate.

6.2. Wiring

Only use the supplied wire harness for connecting the smoke ge-

nerator. Simply plug the 6-pole plug directly on the circuit board

of the smoke generator.

The other end of the harness has a 4-pole plug as well as two

separate wires.

•The smoke generator receives the exhaust chuff pulses via the

green wire. The pulses may be supplied directly by a HALL sensor

or (preferably) be generated directly by the decoder.

•The smoke generator receives its commands via the yellow cable,

when connected to a LokSound 5 XL or LokSound 5 L decoder.

6.3. Connecting with LokSound 5 XL & LokSound 5 L decoder

In this case the 4-pole plug is not needed. Cut it off and establish

the connection as shown in Fig. 3 respectively in Fig. 4.

The smoke generator receives its commands via the yellow wire.

Connection to decoder

This MUST be connected to the AUX1 output of the decoder.

The AUX1 output is the only one that can supply the appropriate

data for the smoke generator after it has been conﬁgured accor-

dingly (also refer to chapter 6.1).

Programming Programming

7. Programming the smoke generator

There are several options for adjusting the performance of the

smoke generator. This helps to achieve optimum performance of

the smoke generator in conjunction with your model. Subject to

the decoder type different adjustments are required.

7.1. ESU LokSound 5 XL & LokSound 5 L decoder

You can conﬁgure the smoke generator in many ways to meet

your personal preference. This can only be done with the ESU Lok-

Programmer 53451 because some adjustments in the sound ﬂow

are necessary. First load the desired sound project into the Lok-

Programmer followed by the individual adjustments. Sound and

smoke control work closely together and are both essential for

achieving optimal performance. As an example we illustrate the

process with the sound ﬁle S0010 (class 50). All required settings

have already been done. For all other sound projects you have to

adjust the required settings.

7.1.1. Basic settings

Initially the output AUX1 must be conﬁgured in such a way that it

provides the data for the smoke generator instead of functioning

as an ordinary function output.

•Select “AUX1[1]” in the register “Function Outputs and select

“Smoke generator with external circuit board”. Then click on the

last entry as shown in Fig. 5.

•Then the output connected to the green wire must be conﬁgured

such that an exhaust trigger is transmitted. In this example it is

AUX2.

•Select “Exhaust trigger” and adjust smoke and blower to the value

31 and the “Timeout” to 0. Fig. 6 shows the relevant settings.

Figure 6: Settings AUX2

Programming Programming

•Now you must assign the function button for triggering the smoke

generator in the register “Function Mapping”. Select the func-

tion “ESU Smoke generator” in the row of the desired function

button. The ex-works setting for most LokSound 5 decoders is

conﬁgured to F15.

7.1.2. Sound ﬂow settings

The most important and comprehensive settings are found in the

“Sound” register. Adjust the desired heating temperatures and

the revs in the sound ﬂow. Of course, for most projects this has

already been set ex-works, so you hardly need to change any of

these parameters.

First select sound slot 1 by double clicking it in the list of available

sound slots.

Programming Programming

This opens a window similar to Fig. 9:

a) Conditions and transitions

b) Properties of the selected condition respectively transition

The properties shown on the left of part b) change subject to what

has been marked in the square at top right. Transitions are shown

as white rectangles. Mark the “Stop” condition with the mouse

as shown in the Fig. 9.

You will ﬁnd the most interesting parameters in the chapter „ESU

Smoke generator”.

•Fan: Here you may adjust the revs of the fan motor. The higher the

value the faster turns the fan and the more smoke is ejected. The

value “255” means “full throttle” (maximum). Please determine

suitable values for your model. High fan revs usually also require

a higher temperature to assure that sufﬁcient smoke is generated.

•Temperature: Here you may adjust the temperature in °C. Higher

values generate more smoke but also lead to a high thermal load

for the smoke generator. The maximum temperature of the smoke

generator is internally limited and is also subject to the mechanics.

The theoretically possible value of 255 °C will therefore not be

reached in practice.

•Filter: Here you may adjust how quickly the fan motor responds

to changes of the desired revs. The value 0 facilitates immediate

adaptation while higher values effect a soft transition. In some

case this may facilitate more realistic exhaust effects.

•Exhaust chuff: Enter this tick wherever smoke should be ejected.

Only if you enter a tick at these positions the LokSound decoder

will “instruct” the smoke generator to produce an exhaust chuff.

Otherwise smoke will continuously be ejected (Diesel mode).

It is necessary to enter meaningful values for every condition.

We recommend the following procedure:

STOP Condition:

Here low values should be entered, e.g.

Fan 59

Temperature 165

Filter 0

Exhaust chuff Not applicable

Figure 9: Soundslot 1 open

a)b)

Programming

SD Conditions (“Stop to Drive”), DS (“Drive to Stop”):

Here you may start with the following values:

Fan 42

Temperature 235

Filter 0

Exhaust chuff Not applicable

“Coast” as well as “DCX” conditions

Fan 42

Temperature 155

Filter 0

Exhaust chuff Not applicable

The actual speed steps are called Dx in all ESU projects. Some

sound projects contain D1 to D4, others go up to D8. These are

the normal exhaust chuffs.

Here you should experiment with the following values:

Fan 212

Temperature 220

Fan 0

Exhaust chuff Set

For acceleration steps A (mostly A1 to A4, sometimes to A8) we

recommend entering higher heating values and fan revs, e.g.

Fan 245

Temperature 235

Filter 0

Exhaust chuff Set

You may mark several conditions simultaneously by holding down

the shift button while marking the induvial squares one after the

other. If you now change the fan and temperature values, these

changes are valid for all currently marked conditions.

Figure 10: All D levels marked

Programming

If sound slot 2 is active in the list of available sound slots but is

marked in grey, there is no reason to be concerned. This means

that two sound channels are used for the exhaust chuff. A copy of

the smoke motor in Sound slot 1 will automatically be generated

and applied. Here you do not need to enter any changes.

7.1.3. Optimising functions

In the ﬁnal step you can optimize further options in the “Smoke

generator” register. Fig. 11 show all available options.

•Time until automatic switch off: Here you can set an automatic

switch-off time. Generally, a duration of about 10 minutes is

practical. This prevents excessive current draw when the tank is

empty. Whenever the smoke generator is turned off automatically

one must reactivate it by turning it off and then on again.

•Adaptation of the fan speed: Here you can adjust the fan speed

relative to the values set in the sound ﬂow.

•Adaptation of the heating temperature: Here you can adjust the

temperature relative to the values set in the sound ﬂow.

•Preheating temperature for secondary smoke generators: If so

desired, one can preheat the cylinder steam for achieving a faster

response. Please bear in mind that the preheating is active, until

the smoke generator is switched on and therefore draws extra

current.

•Duration of exhaust chuffs: Subject to wheel diameter and instal-

lation situation the exhaust chuffs may be a bit short. Increase the

value for triggering more powerful exhaust chuffs. The duration

is given in a ratio to their interval in %. A value of 50% triggers

exhaust chuffs whose duration is half of their interval.

•Minimum duration of exhaust chuffs: Regardless of how quickly

the pulses from the wheel sensor arrive, the duration of the ex-

haust chuffs will never fall below the value set here.

•Maximum duration of exhaust chuffs: Here you may adjust and

limit the duration of the exhaust chuffs to the desired value.

7.2. Cylinder steam function

For utilising cylinder steam you must ﬁrst establish a mechanical

connection between the outlet of the smoke generator (in front,

at the bottom) and the opening on the locomotive.

Ideally the outlet is located between the cylinders. Some silicone

tube is supplied with the smoke generator.
