21-Pole PI Interface
A 21-pole interface is integrated for converting to digital operation. This interface is accessible after lifting
off the coal box. Before converting, check to make sure all functions are in order in DC operation. Pull up
the Jp bridging plug vertically (Fig. 6) and keep it in a safe place. Next, attach the digital decoder, follo-
wing the installation instructions from the manufacturer. For questions on the function or the installation,
contact the supplier or manufacturer of your decoder. Please note that no liability will be assumed for sub-
sequently installed decoders.
Locomotive Sound
The tender is already fully prepped for locomotive sound operation. To install the loudspeaker, remove the
tender box (see section on „Opening the Tender“). Also, loosen the two S5 screws and carefully remove
the main board. Take care not to loosen any wires when doing this.
The empty sound capsule for securing the loudspeaker is fastened with 2 screws underneath the board.
Snap the loudspeaker – e.g. from ESU with d = 23 mm – into the sound capsule with the membrane
facing down.
The sound decoder can be attached vertically onto the 21-pole interface instead of the Jp bridging plug
or other decoder. There are two +SP- soldering pins on the circuit board for connecting the loudspeaker
(Fig. 6). Be sure to follow the instructions from the manufacturer of the decoder and loudspeaker
manufacturers.
If you have decided on a LILIPUT model for a
three-rail AC system, please note the following:
This model has an integrated digital decoder
(ESU-Lokpilot) that allows you to operate your
vehicle in 16-volt analog AC mode, or digitally.
The accompanying operating instructions from
ESU contain information on the operation of the
decoder. For current pick-up by the center rail,
a collector is snapped into the chassis with an
HA holder as shown in Fig. 7. To change out
the collector, use a small screwdriver to push
arm A of the HA holder slightly out to the side.
This will release the retaining fit of the holder
and the collector can be removed.
