Installation instructions
Warranty card
Tools also needed for the installation procedure include:
regular and cross-point screwdrivers, tweezers, and solder-
ing station with a maximum soldering temperature of up to
30 watts / 400˚Celsius / 752˚Fahrenheit with a fi ne tip, solder-
ing ux for electronics (0.5 - 1 mm / 0.02” – 0.04” diameter),
de-soldering braid or a de-soldering pump.
Safety Notes
•
WARNING! Sharp edges and points required for operation.
• Do wiring and assembly work only on a voltage-free or
grounded work mat. Failure to do this can lead to danger-
ous static charge from your body and to damage to the
components.
• Operate the decoder only with the authorized voltage
(see technical data).
There is a danger of burning yourself when working
with a soldering station.
Technical Information
• Continuous current load at
the motor output ≤ 1.1 amps
• Current load at the light outputs ≤ 250 milliamps
• Current load at AUX 1 – AUX 4 each ≤ 250 milliamps
• Current load at AUX + lights (total) ≤ 300 milliamps
• Current load for motor and AUX 5/6 ≤ 1.1 amps
• Maximum total load ≤ 1.6 amps
• Maximum voltage ≤ 40 volts
• Sound performance (at 4 Ω /8 Ω) 2.75 watts / 1.6 watts
• Short circuit and overload protection at the outputs lights
front (LV), lights rear (LH), AUX 1 – AUX 4 and at the motor
outputs.
Functions
The mSD SoundDecoder is a sound decoder with very ex-
tensive setting and adaptation possibilities. Additional sound
functions are available. This decoder can be updated. The
requirement for this is an appropriate controller
Central Station (60213 – 60215), software Version 4.0 or
higher and/or Programmer 60971).
The settings and digital functions can only be used in digital
operation. However, the same possibilities are not available
in all protocols.
These instructions describe the installation and the possible
settings for the 60978 and 60979 decoders. Unless otherwise
stated, the functions refer to both decoders.
•
Capable of multi-protocols (fx (MM), mfx, DCC, and AC/DC).
• Automatic system recognition. The address assigned to
each system must be used for operation.
