LGB smoke unit to Massoth XLS

[Mike From Devon]

Hi folks,

Over the last 3 years I have fitted Massoth XLS decoders to 5 second hand LGB analogue locos. Why XLS? Cos I'm better with a screwdriver than a soldering iron. Three of the locos are fitted with smoke units that I did not connect them as I didn't know how to . One of this winter's projects is to remedy that but I still can't see in the XLS manual how to do it. Since in each case the lights are 5v I think that the safe option is so assume that the smoke units are the same.

Please can anybody out there explain what to do in terms that this simpleton can understand ( and which CV to set the voltage)?

TIA
Mike D

Check your manual, as the CV's may have changed..

But you would 'traditionally' connect to Decoder + and A1.
You set the divider CV to 5 or 6, and would use F7 to switch smoke on/off (you will need to check if F7 is used for anything else, and adjust the value for the function key controlling the A1 output.
