Titel: stay alive for piko smartdecoder 4.1
Bericht door: bluedepot op 08 April 2023, 20:33:53

Goedenavond vrienden

Sorry to post in English

How can I add a "stay alive" to a Piko sound Smart decoder 4.1?

What type of "stay alive" do I need to buy?


Many thanks


Tim

This was my answere a few years ago.

When using an ESU power pack in
combination with the following CV values.
Just works with the Piko 4.1 LokSound decoder.

CV 31 = 16
CV 315 = 0 This is set to 1, but then
the power pack does not work.
CV 113 = 200

I have these values in all 3 of my Piko SNCB
73 and they are all fitted with with the Piko
sound decoder RH 7300 (4.1).

I also use this for my ESU sound decoders,
and decoders from other brands.

Thank you that's really helpful.

Did you put the ESU power pack mini in your SNCB 73?

Cheers

Yep, that's a perfect fit. In other engines
like the Z65 from Jeco, I took the PP mini
apart, so it could be placed separately.
Just remember to adjust it again on the
right poles, otherwise it will go wrong.

Yes, the same as the ESU decoder. You can
follow the instructions on the manual wich
is deliverd with the ESU Powerpack.
