Using the Product as Intended

The 60972/60969 decoders are for converting Märklin/Trix H0
locomotives to digital.
!
Not suitable for motors with fi eld-wound coils. Locomotives
with these motors must be converted with the appropriate motor
retrofi t kits, item numbers 60941, 60943 or 60944.

Installation instructions
Warranty card
Tools also needed for the installation procedure include: regular
and cross-point screwdrivers, tweezers, and soldering station
with a maximum soldering temperature of up to 30 watts /
400˚Celsius / 572˚Fahrenheit with a fi ne tip, soldering fl ux for
electronics (0.5 - 1 mm / 0.02" – 0.04" diameter), de-soldering
braid or a de-soldering pump.

Safety Notes

• WARNING! Sharp edges and points required for operation.
• Do wiring and assembly work only on a voltage-free or ground-
ed work mat. Failure to do this can lead to dangerous static
charge from your body and to damage to the components.
• Operate the decoder only with the authorized voltage (see
technical data).
22
There is a danger of burning yourself when working with a
soldering station.

• Short circuit and overload protection at the outputs lights
front (LV), lights rear (LH), AUX 1 – AUX 4 and at the motor
outputs.

Functions

The mSD SoundDecoder is a sound decoder with very extensive
setting and adaptation possibilities. Additional SUSI interface is
available (only 60972). Additional sound functions are available.
This decoder can be updated. The requirement for this is an
appropriate controller Central Station (60213 – 60215), software
Version 4.0 or higher and/or Programmer 60971).
The settings and digital functions can only be used in digital
operation. However, the same possibilities are not available in
all protocols.
These instructions describe the installation and the possible set-
tings for the 60972 and 60982 decoders. Unless otherwise stated,
the functions refer to both decoders.
