3. Important - Please read first!
Congratulations on your purchase of the ESU smoke generator. This guide will help you to connect your ESU decoder with a step by step module. Please read this manual carefully before installati­on in order to avoid defects!
The smoke generator is designed exclusively for use with electrical-• model train layouts provided. It may only operate the components described in these instructions.
The smoke generator in operation is very hot (above 100°C). Avo-• id touching the unit and select an installation location so that the­re may be no damage due to the excessive temperature.
Do not turn the smoke generator on when it is filled to the top. • Leaks of oil and steam can cause burns.
All connections must only be made when the unit is not in ope-• ration.
Adhere to the principles as outlined in this manual.• Protect from moisture and humidity.• No cable must ever touch the metal parts of the locomotive.• When assembling the locomotive be sure that no cable be squee-•
zed or short circuits may occur.
4. General characteristics
The two ESU smoke generators provide realistic smoke and steam cloud to your models. An integrated control operates both the fan motor and the heating of the smoke generator. A sensor maintains the desired heating temperature independent of rail voltage and constant degree of filling and prevents blowing with an empty tank.
The smoke generator can be used with both steam and diesel mo­dels. The smoke generators are designed for optimal use with our LokSound XL V4.0 decoder. Attached to a decoder the desired the amount of smoke is precisely adapted to sound sequencing. When connected to an ESU decoders no adjustments or programming has to made to the smoke generator.
If using another decoder the smoke generator can be connected on the Susi interface. In this mode, however, fewer options are available. SUSI CV programming must also be done in this case.
5. Scope of delivery
This allows you to find the best option for your model smoke ge­nerator, two versions are available.
4.1. 54678 track «0»
The «little» smoke generator with its dimensions of 40 x 25 x 29mm for small lane 1 and lane 0 locomotives. In this case the electronics are separate from the mechanism with a wire harness attached. The following items are included:
Smoke generator with attached, private electronic board• Wiring harness• PVC hose with 7mm diameter•

By means of a jumper, change between the operating mode «Die­sel» and «Steam» needs to be done.
4.2. 54679 track «1»
The «big» smoke generator with its dimensions of 50 x 28 x 30mm is compatible with many LGB and PIKO® locomotives. It can be used as an option in conjunction with LokSound XL v4.0 decoders in the mode «Cylinder steam». The following items are provided:
Smoke generator• Wiring harness• PVC hose with 13mm diameter for chimney / exhaust• PVC hose with 6mm diameter for cylinder steam• «elbow» to deflect the smoke flow to the cylinders• Suitable screws «headers»•
Scope of delivery
If you want to use the smoke generator as a steam cylinder, all you have to do is remove the standard cover and replace it with the enclosed the manifold. The small opening above is only for filling and must be closed during operation at your discretion.

5. To install the smoke generator
Place the smoke generator initially at a suitable location under a smoke stack or exhaust stack. The distance between smoke generator and housing opening should be as small as possible, however, a certain minimum distance (about 1 cm) needs to be maintained to plastic housings. Pay attention to the exhaust sys­tem so that any condensing smoke fluid will drain back into the holding tank. In order to obtain a tight connection between the housing opening and the smoke generator, a silicone hose has been supplied and should be used accordingly.
5.1 Fill the system
Both smoke generators can be filled with the smoke distillate through the exhaust outlet. Use only the ESU smoke distillate with ESU Art. no. 51990. Using other liquids can cause paint damage or a blockage to the system or damage to the heating unit as the result of residue formation. Use the smoke function only under supervision in a well ventilated area. The maximum capacities are as follows:
enables 2.5 ml for the «little» smoke generator 54678. This is a • period of about 8 minutes.
5.0 ml for the «big» smoke generator 54679. Duration of appro-• ximately 10 to 15 minutes is achieved.
Never exceed the maximum capacity of the system. When in dou­bt it is better using too little rather than too much! Even a dry tank cannot damage the smoke generator! Always fill the system on a flat surface, never on a slanted surface. Turn overfilled locomotives upside down to allow excess to drain in order to prevent leakage of smoke distillate.
5.2. Connection cable
To connect use the enclosed wiring harness exclusively. The 6-pin connector directly attaches to the connected circuit board of the smoke generator.
Installation of the smoke generator
At the other end you will find both the 4-pin SUSI connector and two single cables.
Use the green wire of the smoke generator to receive the steam • pulses. This can come directly from a Hall sensor or (preferably) be generated directly by the decoder. For «Diesel» mode this cable is not required.
The yellow wire of the smoke generator receives its commands • when connected to a LokSound XL V4.0 decoder. If you use an external decoder, this cable is not required.
5.3. Following ESU decoders
When connected to an ESU LokSound XL V4.0 decoder, the 4-pin connector on the wiring harness is not required. Cut these off and therefore make the cable connections as shown in Figure 6. This command is replaced by the smoke generator via the yellow cable. It is mandatory that this be connected to the AUX1 output of the decoder. Only the AUX1 output is capable of the providing data after it has been configured accordingly (see section 6.1).
