Hi guys,

You've previously helped me to setup modern Telex-coupler with mSD3 decoder. Now I'm in need of help with Loksound 5.

My problem is that even after the function "ends" and the pin is actually dropped in, the coupler gradually warms up. On Lokprogrammer's programming track it seems to be milder and I first did not notice it applies to it too, however with Mobile Station 2 the heat buildup is really fast.

Here's my setup:

Black wires go to U+, gray wires go to Aux1 and Aux2.

Here're screens from Lokprogrammer:

Also, in "Physical output configuration" why are there two entries per output? [1] and [2] ?

Thanks again,
-Eino

…in addition to this, has anyone got a patent solution for the telex belly getting stuck on turnout center studs? Laugh

This allows two different settings.
With lights, this can be used to simulate long-distance headlights by making a "dim" and a "full" setting for the lights.
I don't see a use-case for Telex couplers.

I kind of liked using Telex some years ago, but now I usually just set things up by hand and run them. However I have a couple Telex loks that work quite well. I just got a BR44 with factory installed Telex and did notice that they do hang low and was wondering if it might get caught on the points. Its a good question.

In single point perspective, where do track lines meet?
