Features and Specifications
Tsunami Digital Sound Decoders have a great number of features designed
to enhance your operating experience. Some features may require a little
explanation.
Tsunami Features
Tsunami Digital Sound Decoders have been designed with a powerful Digital
Signal Processor (DSP), which allows us to provide more features and better
sound quality than in previous designs. Some of the unique features include:
Sound Features
There are many sound effects (up to 22 sound effects!) and the ability to
adjust the sounds to suit your ear make the system truly customizable. You
can even adjust the volume of each sound effect individually with your own
built-in mixer!
The short whistle feature will allow the user to more easily incorporate
signaling practices into their operations. There is also the option of replacing
the short whistle function with an alternate whistle for the occasional engine
which carried two whistles.
For those with limited function keys, you may wish to enable the automatic
signal feature, which will activate Stop, Forward, Reverse and Grade Crossing
whistle signals automatically in response to train motion.
Throttle Features
Tsunami Digital Sound Decoders have advanced throttle features as part
of our Hyperdrive
™
system. These features allow you to better control your
locomotive speed under varying conditions.
Lighting Features
In addition to controlling the headlight and backup light, our Dyno-Light feature
provides the missing element in the operation of the Dynamo, or steam
generator. This mimics the effect of the gradual increase in lumens as the
generator spools up and supplies power to the headlight.
