LC SERIES DIGITAL SOUND DECODER OWNER’S MANUAL 4
ALL ABOARD!
Congratulations on the purchase of your SoundTraxx™ LC Series Digital Sound Decoder™
(DSD-LC). Properly installed, the DSD-LC will provide all the pleasures of high quality, digital
onboard sound and the benefits of today’s DCC (Digital Command Control) technology. With the
proper tools, basic modeling skills and common sense, equipping a locomotive with sound is not
difficult. It may, however, be a new experience for you, and you will find that successive installations
will go more quickly than the first. Please note that while each decoder is tested thoroughly before
it is shipped, we cannot control the correctness or quality of the installation. It is imperative that you
follow the directions, and never remove the protective heat shrink from the decoder (if applicable);
there are no adjustments or user serviceable parts and this will void your warranty.
This Owner’s Manual covers the features, installation, and operation of the following Digital
Sound Decoder models with Version 2.0 software:
· DSD-100LC
· DSD-B280LC
· DSD-AT100LC
· DSD-KT100LC
· DSD-LL100LC
· DSD-C628LC
If this is your first decoder installation, this Owner’s Manual will provide you with all the information
you need to get started. Also available for purchase is the
LC Series Decoder Technical Reference
(PN 140069) written for the experienced user who wishes to have a complete reference for advanced
programming techniques.
Technical bulletins covering various topics are also published from time to time, and these, along
with the Technical Reference may be downloaded free of charge from our website at
www.soundtraxx.com.
CAUTION: The DSD-LC Series of decoders are designed to work at
track voltages between 7.5 and 16 volts maximum. On most command
stations, this corresponds to a track setting of N or HO. Do NOT use
the O or G scale settings!
Operating your DSD-LC at voltages greater than 16 volts will void your
warranty, produce excessive heat and possible permanent damage to
the DSD.
