Diagnostic Codes
Fault Light
During normal operation, Tsunami monitors a number of its input signals and
if a fault is found, reports an error code by flashing the lights (if connected).
The number of times the lights flash corresponds to the number of the error
code. The error codes that can usually be solved by the user are:
Code 10 – Over-Voltage Fault
An over‑voltage fault indicates that the track voltage is greater than 22 volts.
When this error occurs, sound will be shut off and the error code will flash
periodically until the voltage is brought below 22 volts. Note: Tsunami’s
absolute maximum voltage input is 27 volts! Track voltages exceeding 27
volts may cause permanent damage to the decoder.
Code 16 – CVs Reset to Default
This code is informational only and indicates that all CVs have been reset to
their factory defaults.
On rare occasions, the SoundCar DSD may also report the following error
code, which cannot be remedied by the user and must be returned to the
factory for repair:
Code 5 – EEROM Checksum Failure
