Stay alives & ESU LokSound decoders:

Notes: Home made stay-alives do not work with ESU's Micro decoders. For Micro decoders, one must use a PowerPack mini, produced by ESU.

CV113: Defines the percentage of charge held by the stay alive.

0 = no supply

255 = maximum

64 = starting recommendation

V4 decoders:

CV315 must be set to 0 for the stay alive to be active. Default is a value of 1 (turned off).

To activate the stay alive make the following CV changes:

CV31=16

CV32=0

CV315=0

V5 decoders:

CV315 must be set to 0 for the stay alive to be active. Default is a value of 1 (turned off).

To activate the stay alive make the following CV changes:

Set CV 31 = 16, CV 32 = 0 first.
Then set CV315 = 0

Then set CV339 = 31 for LokSound (AUX9)
Then set CV323 = 31 for LokSound micro (AUX7).
