The polarity of the speaker terminals is only important when using multiple
speakers. If you have installed multiple speakers, make sure they are phased
properly, i.e., positive lead to positive lead and minus lead to minus lead of
each speaker (see the Installation Guide for more information).
Lighting Connections
Each DSD is equipped with four function outputs that are intended to drive
headlight, backup light and special effect lights. Each output is rated for
100mA. Do not exceed this rating! Be sure that the combined current of
all lights as well as the motor stall current measured does not exceed the
decoder rating.
12-16V lamps can be directly wired to the function outputs as shown in
Figure 1. Connect the WHITE wire to one of the Headlight leads. Connect
the other bulb lead to the BLUE wire. Connect the YELLOW wire to one of
the Backup Light leads. Connect the other bulb lead to the BLUE wire.
To connect the Function 5 lamp, connect the BROWN wire to one lead and
connect the other lead to the BLUE wire. To connect the Function 6 lamp,
connect the GREEN wire to one lead and connect the other lead to the BLUE
wire.
Tsunami decoders may also be used with 1.5 Volt bulbs or LEDs, which
require the use of a resistor. See the Installation Guide if you need more
information.
Exhaust Cam Connections
(steam only)
Connect the TAN wire from the 3-pin Speaker/Cam harness of the DSD to
the exhaust cam wiper switch. The decoder is factory-programmed to operate
using the Auto-Exhaust feature. If you wish to use an exhaust cam, you must
enable the cam-synchronized exhaust by setting CV 112 to 128.
