Using Your Tsunami Digital Sound Decoder
Your SoundTraxx Tsunami has been shipped with all CVs pre-programmed
so you can begin using your locomotive immediately without having to worry
about what adjustments to make. Function Assignments are as follows:
Steam Decoders
Function Key Effect
F0 Headlight/Backup Light/Dynamo
F1 Bell
F2 Whistle
F3 Short Whistle
F4 Steam Release
F5 FX5 Output
F6 FX6 Output
F7 Dimmer
F8 Mute the Sound
F9 Water Stop
F10 Injectors
F11 Brake Squeal/Release
F12 Coupler Clank
Direction Button Johnson Bar
Throttle Exhaust Chuff, Snifter Valve
While these are the default settings, you may wish to make changes to the
function mapping later. For now, simply set your controller to Locomotive 3,
place the locomotive on the mainline and away you go! Now that you have
control of your decoder, let’s see what happens!
Turn on the Lights
Press F0 on your cab to turn on the Headlight. As you turn on the headlight,
the dynamo will ‘spool up’ in an accelerating whine until it reaches full power,
when it will sound more like a soft buzz – can’t have lights without turning on
the generator now can you? Reverse locomotive direction and the headlight
turns off as the backup light turns on.
If you have wired your Tsunami decoder for Functions 5 and/or 6, pressing
these keys will activate these effects. While waiting on a siding, you can
press F7 to dim the headlight for an oncoming train.
Ring the Bell
Engineers are required to ring the bell during yard movement. To ring the
bell, press F1 on your cab. This is an on/off function, i.e. once on, the bell will
continue to ring until you turn it off. Press F1 again to turn it off.
