multiple speakers wire them according to the directions on page 23 so as not

to exceed this load. If not wired correctly, multiple speakers can overload the

amplifier.

Note: Do not use Tsunami with speakers whose (total) impedance is less than

8 ohms. Doing so may result in erratic operation or even component failure!

Decoder Considerations

It is normal for the DSD to get warm after periods of extended operation and

its thermal overload protection will shut down the audio amplifier if it gets too

warm. Therefore, it is important to install the decoder in a location where it

can dissipate the most heat. Avoid placing the decoder near heat sources

such as the motor or lights wherever possible.

Lighting Considerations

Each Tsunami is equipped with four function outputs that are intended to

drive headlight, backup light and special effect lights. The outputs can be

independently programmed for a multitude of Hyperlight effects and may be

used in a variety of ways. 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 in Step 2 does not

exceed the decoder’s current rating.
