Title: EM1 sound
Post by: Vidshooter on February 10, 2012, 04:13:34 AM
Is the motion decoder in the EM1 a Tsunami, ie, with back emf?  Or is it one of the first gen Bachmann?

Can you explain what the sync is, referred to in the shipping post?

Thanks

Vidshooter,

"Sync" refers to the sound module, when you plug it in for the first time.  The locomotive's decoder must be as it was programmed from the factory in order for the sound to operate.  Default address must be at 03 and the like.  After plugging in the sound module, you can change the locomotive's address, adjust sounds, and so on.  If you have changed the loco's address prior to purchasing the sound module, you will have to reset the decoder to default settings prior to plugging in the module.

This is a slightly different Tsunami compared to buying the TSU-1000 Heavy Steam Decoder.  There are fewer sound options.  But I believe the BEMF is still there.  Someone check me on that.

Regards,

Jonathan

Dear All,
It does have back EMF.
Have fun!
