Reminder: Some Do’s and Don’ts
It will be a great temptation to begin connecting wires immediately. Before
you install your Tsunami Digital Sound Decoder, there are some simple
precautions you should take.
• The DSD should be handled carefully in a static-free environment. To
discharge static electricity, touch a water pipe or grounded metal surface
before handling the decoder.
• Never remove the decoder’s protective shrink tubing. First, you will void
your warranty and second, you will compromise the decoder’s built in
thermal management system.
• Never make connections to the decoder while it is powered. Doing so
makes for an accident waiting to happen.
• Make sure all electrical connections are insulated. Avoid using electrical
tape, as it tends to unwrap over time. We recommend using heat
shrinkable tubing instead.
• Never allow the decoder leads to come in contact with any DCC track
wiring except those specifically designed for that purpose.
• Never allow speaker outputs to become shorted together.
• Never allow motor outputs to become shorted together.
• Do not exceed the output ratings for which the decoder is designed.
All Aboard!
