VOLUME CONTROL OF EACH OPERATION SOUND TYPES
These 4 operation sound types can be adjusted separately:
- Initial start sequences
- Standing sound sequences
- Shut down sequences
- Operation sound sequences
LGB and SUSI Interfaces are integrated
The new eMOTION XLS Sound Decoder is the up and coming standard of the exquisite garden model railroad sound decoders. The XLS features a powerful output stage for up to two motors (3 AMPS) as well as 1 AMP for sound, light, and other functions.
Additionally, 11 function outputs including 3 light outputs and 4 contact inputs are available which makes this unit exceptionally versatile.
The integrated sound power amplifier with 6 independent sound channels sets the standard in today's locomotive sound simulations. The audio power amplifier delivers 1 watt (sinus) at 8 ohms impedance. The eMOTION XLS Sound Decoder delivers optimum characteristics for analog and digital operation.
Optimized Analog- and Digital operation guaranteed
The XLS works in analog mode starting at the lowest voltage possible. The settings and functions of the decoder may be set with the DiMAX PC Module and may be used in analog mode. Thus sounds may be triggered in analog mode via reed contacts.
NMRA DCC and LGB© MZS/MTS
The eMOTION XLS is compatible to NMRA/DCC and works with all generations of the LGB MTS systems. State of the art DATAFLASH technology and the latest programming procedures enable the reloading of sounds and software directly via the track.
ORIGINAL SOUND in digital quality
The XLS is delivered with a HiFi loudspeaker (57 mm - depending on loco selected) with a metal cap and an interface cable for LGB and Aristocraft DCC. The unit may be installed wire by wire as well. Mounting material is provided.

Installation and Hook-Up: |
Installation of the eMOTION XLS Sound Decoder is very basic and straightforward. The eMOTION XLS Sound Decoder comes with a basic set of cables and screws required. Please note the terminal assignments shown in the following illustrations and pay attention to the factory preset function outlet assignments of F1 to F6. These outlets need to be set according individually to your personal needs. |
Illustration 1: Contact Assignment with Pulse Generator, Loudspeaker, ext. Poti, F7/F8 and Bus connector (upper side) |
Connectors on the Upper Surface: |
The eMotion XLS Sound Decoder features six additional connectors on the upper side (see illustration 2). CLK1 is the connector for an external pulse generator, CLK2 is the connector for a second pulse generator (current not connected), e.g. for Mallet locomotives. These connectors are custom made for the connection with our pulse generator unit #8242030. Alternatively a reed contact may be utilized as pulse generator (see illustration 2). The SPKR connector connects a loudspeaker to the eMotion XLS Sound Decoder, and the POTI connector connects an external potentiometer (4.7K Ohms) to the decoder to facilitate manual volume control. A potentiometer board is available with the item # 8242010.
|
The F7/F8 outputs are accessible with a connector port or as solder pads on the reverse side. Please do not use both connections at the same time! Please note that the F7/F8 outputs are designed for a max. load of 10 mAmps only. The bus-connector is provided to control e.g. pantographs or pulsed smoke generators. The bus connector may be programmed by LGB control or SUSI interface. |
Illustration 2: Assignment of connectors |
You may utilize the cable-set item # 8312108 to connect to the terminals in illustration 2. The cable set comes with preinstalled connectors. The color coded wires needed for the installation come with the decoder. Connect the wires to the decoder and the motor and power shoes or gear box according to the schematic. |

Color code of the eMOTION XLS Sound Decoder:
- YELLOW Motor + (Motor in driving direction left)
- WHITE Track + (Track in driving direction left)
- BROWN Track -(Track in driving direction right)
- GREEN Motor -(Motor in driving direction right)

Setup with a LGB® gear box: |
All current LGB® gear boxes feature 4 contact pins on the upper side. To utilize these gear boxes for digital operation the pins must be connected to the eMOTION XLS Sound Decoder according to the schematic below. Very old LGB gear boxes have 3 contact pins only. These gear boxes need to be changed for digital operation. One pin is connected to the motor and the track. This must be disconnected as the motor and the track must be isolated for digital operation. |
