5. Furthermore you can differentiate between acceleration and deceleration sounds and therefore use for example different sounds for changing the gear from FG1 to FG2 and another for switching from FG2 to FG1 The changing sound will always be played once and completely when the running step gear is changed For this reason the sound should be preferably short e g 1s Otherwise it might occur for example that the model is already standing but the changing sound is still played Vehicle stopping noise The stopping noise is played uniquely when the vehicle stops drive idle Engine stopping noise The engine stopping noise is played when the engine sound is switched off 26 BEIER Electronic 03 02 2014 D Sound module USM RC 2 Reversing noise The reversing noise is played when the vehicle drives backwards This could be e g the beeping of a reverse driving warn sound of a truck The reversing noise is an additionally sound which is mixed added to the engine sound Brake noise The brake noise is played when the driving speed is strongly reduced Cornering squeak The sound for the cornering squeak can only be played by the sound module if the module is configured to 2 motors for engine sound The cornering squeak is always played as soon as driving along curves is detected The threshold level is configured in the Sound Teacher configuration gt Engine sound In the folder USM RC 2 Sounds on the supplied DVD RO

As long as the engine sound is switched off the sound module doesn t play any driving sound or engine sound Therefore the engine sound has to be switched on by a way available to you 03 02 2014 BEIER Electronic 21 D Sound module USM RC 2 Loudspeaker You can connect every loudspeaker to the sound module USM RC 2 which has an impedance of at least 4 O and is designed for the respective maximal power We recommend using full range loudspeakers with 4 or 8 O Higher impedances are also possible but the volume decreases with higher impedances The maximum power and thus the volume of the sound module is also heavily dependent on the height of the supply voltage The following table shows which maximum sine wave power per loudspeaker at different voltages and loudspeaker impedances can be reached U 6V U 7 2V U 8 4V U 9 6V U 12V Power at 4Q 4 5W 6 5W 8 8W 11 5W 18 0W Power at 80 2 2W 3 2W 4 4W 5 8W 9 0W Power at 160 1 1W 1 6W 2 2W 2 9W 4 5W These performance levels refer to a full scaled sine wave but not to an overdriven sine wave In practice it is possible to overdrive the amplifier in somewhat whitout decreasing noticeable the quality of the sound playback of the module So it is possible to reach a higher power output with low voltages e g 7 2V than listed in the table above However as there is a double amplifier on the sound module you have the choice of of connecting 1 or 2 l
