Large / Blunami 2200 for Large Scale 4-6-0 PNP
July 15, 2024, 07:42:31 PM
I've installed a Blunami 2200 on the Large Scale 4-6-0 PNP with Battery power.

In the app, set Lamp type to Incandescent.

Connect the Blunami wires to the corresponding J1 pins as follows:
J1-1&2 to black, 3 gray, 4 white, 5 not used* , 6 blue,  8 green (smoke), 9 yellow, 10 orange, 11&12 red.
ALSO connect (jumper) the black wire of Blunami to  J1-7.
This accomplishes what the 4-6-0 instructions mean by connecting the decoder negative output to J1-7.
I also connected J2-10 (firebox flicker) to the white wire (jumper to J1-6), so the firebox goes on with the front headlight;
presumably you could use a separate function for this if you wish.

For sound, connect the thin purple wires (from the other end of the decoder) to J2-1 and J2-3.
*The Blunani doesn't use the chuff trigger, but electronically senses the motor revs. In the app, you can sync the chuff rate to the motor speed with CV-114. I found the value 25 works for my loco, giving 4 chuffs per rev.
So far, I haven't used the other function outputs.

BTW, the Blunami 2200 (2 amp board) powers the 4-6-0 pulling 5 Bachmann "Big Hauler" cars on a level track, 8' dia. curves, with all lights on and sound at full volume. I'm using a 9.6v battery.
