Haz Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Hi, I have recently bought a Hornby loco and the sound is a bit loud. I have tried lowering the sound with my LH100 Lenz controller but can`t figure out how to do it, although I have done it before with another of my locos. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

The sound volume is adjusted via CV63 (assuming it's a Loksound decoder) this can be done on a programming track (if you have one) or by POM - programming on the main, have a look in the Lenz manual for more details.

tractor_37260 Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 thanks for your reply. Will try after work tonight. If you can't work it out, let me know, I use a Lenz 100 and can give you a step by step guide if necessary. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haz Posted August 18, 2015 Author Share Posted August 18, 2015 Hi, thanks for your help. I have tried to programme it on the main track but without success. Been trying for an hour tonight and am completely lost! I would be grateful if you could give me step by step instructions. Many thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigelcliffe Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 It would be worth establishing one detail absent from the thread before Tractor gives instructions.... Does the Hornby Loco definitely have a LokSound decoder fitted ? If its one of the new RailRoad "TTS Sound" decoders, then its not a LokSound and the volume isn't set with CV63. - Nigel Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tractor_37260 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Hi, thanks for your help. I have tried to programme it on the main track but without success. Been trying for an hour tonight and am completely lost! I would be grateful if you could give me step by step instructions. Many thanks. As per Nigel's post above, we first need to identify what sound decoder is fitted. Can you confirm which Hornby model you have, ie the catalogue number, the locos running number and name if it has one, and if it's one of the new Railroad TTS sound models ?

Haz Posted August 19, 2015 Author Share Posted August 19, 2015 Hi, The Hornby model is a BR 060 class 08. D3963. There is also another number on the box and this is R3037XS. It is not one of the new Railroad TTS sound models, It is a Loksound. It has on the instruction sheet, "Before you change any of the volume control CV`s please make sure that the CV31 is set to 16 and CV32 equals 1. These two CV`s are used as index selection registers between the real function of CV 257 - 511.The master volume control is CV63. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

These two CV`s are used as index selection registers between the real function of CV 257 - 511.The master volume control is CV63. OK so a Loksound is indeed fitted a V4 I suspect. Firstly you DON'T use CV31 /CV32 just to change the overall volume via CV63, they are only used for higher numbered CV's. The volume range is 0-192 adjusted via CV63 With the loco on the track with the sound ON - and it's DCC address showing on the screen. Using POM Press F then 7 LH100 Screen will show CV Press enter Screen will then show C * Enter 63 Press enter Screen will then show CV63__ Now enter 80 after the CV63__(80) Press enter You should hear the volume drop - depending on where is was originally set. If not repeat the above and try 60 instead of 80 - the lower the number the quieter the sound HTH Ken Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
