Installation instructions
Warranty card
Tools also needed for the installation procedure include:
regular and cross-point screwdrivers, tweezers, and solder-
ing station with a maximum soldering temperature of up to
30 watts / 300˚Celsius / 572˚Fahrenheit with a fi ne tip, solder-
ing 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
grounded work mat. Failure to do this can lead to danger-
ous static charge from your body and to damage to the
components.
• Operate the decoder only with the authorized voltage
(see technical data).
There is a danger of burning yourself when working
with a soldering station.

Functions

The mSD SoundDecoder is a sound decoder with very
extensive setting and adaptation possibilities. Additional
sound functions are available. This decoder can be updated.
The requirement for this is an appropriate controller
(60213/60214/60215 Central Station, software Version 2.0,
track format processor GFP 2.0 or higher).
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
settings for the 60948 and 60949 decoders. Unless otherwise
stated, the functions refer to both decoders.
• Capable of multi-protocols (fx (MM), mfx, DCC, and AC/DC).
• Automatic system recognition. The address assigned to
each system must be used for operation.
