@jonnyspeed posted:I know this is old but I'm working on the same issue of getting the WowSound 501 to work with O scale MTH smoke units. The function outputs on the 501 are rated at 1A. According to what I read above we need about 5W to produce good smoke correct? So by setting the CV to put out 5V I would be maxing the 1A rating of the function output. So maybe shoot for say 10V which would draw 0.5A? This should work if I change to a 22 OHM element? Or am I missing something?
TCS WowSound 501 specs:
Interface Type: Hard-Wire
Dimensions (L x W x H): 3.004″ x 1.413″ x 0.551″ or 76.3mm x 35.9mm x 14mm
Scale: O Scale G Scale S Scale
Continuous/Peak: 5/10 Amp
Total Functions: 8
Function Rating: 1A
12V Outputs: 8
Here are the settings I use:
CV55 = 44 (puts F5 on dimmer)
CV64 = 13 (this is the dimmer voltage and it ranges from 1 to 30; I would start low say 5 and work your way up to the level of smoke you like)
