How to Plug in a Tsunami2 Decoder with a 21PNEM Connector

We offer several decoder formats to assist you in the easiest install possible. In our Econami and Tsunami2 product lines we offer 21PNEM formats that are designed for easy plug-in operation when mated to a 21-pin NEM connector. In this video, George shows you how to install the decoder into a model equipped with a 21PNEM connector or a Nik's Trains Decoder Buddy. Watch now to learn more.

Thanks George, excellent explanation. I have 2 Walthers Proto NYC E 7 locos that i'm changing the boards in, going with a decoder buddy, and the 21 pin decoder...

[@SoundtraxxDCC]

I need to change a Scale Trains LOK Sound 5 to a tsunami 2 ? OR vise versa. I have a SP consist. Its either change 5 or 1 decoder lol. Dont see a 21 Pin on the athearn GP40-2 7677. Thanks for the video! hope all is well!

[@SoundtraxxDCC]

Things are going great! Lots of people using Tsunami2 and Blunami! Very exciting times! On your SP GP40-2, contact us at [e-mail] and we’ll help you with your loco install questions. From what I can see, that road number was available with sound, but also without sound but equipped with a 21P socket. Let's discuss this directly so we can be sure to get the right answer for you: [phone] or [e-mail]. Thank you!

Are you guys going to be making the mother boards for the 21PNEM?

[@SoundtraxxDCC]

This is not something we plan to do, right now at least.

[@mafarnz]

People needed an instruction video to tell them how to plug something in!?!?

[@SoundtraxxDCC]

Yes, we have seen some confusion and incorrect installations.

[@FerroFilmeMTY]

the speaker connects to the Tsunami 2, or to the motherboard?

[@flyboy2610]

To the mother board in most cases.

Hi there, do you have any resources or instructions on how to operate a DC locomotive (Diesel) that has Tsunami2 equipped? I can't seem to find any instructions on how sound decoders work with analog layouts. Thanks in advance!

[@SoundtraxxDCC]

Yes, refer to your User's Guide. Page 69 for the Diesel User's Guide: soundtraxx.com/reference/manuals/ If you have more questions after reading through the User's Guide, contact our Support Department and they will be happy to help! [phone] or soundtraxx.com/contact/technical-support

I have a Walthers ML loco with the ESU essential 21 pin decoder and of course I don't like it but I want to put a tsunami 2 emd-2 21 pin will the motherboard be suitable for the Tsunami or should I just replace it entirely?

[@SoundtraxxDCC]

I think the 21-pin decoder should just sea out easily. So, yes, for EMD-2 885023. I hope this helps. soundtraxx.com/products/tsunami2-digital-sound-decoders/tsu-21pnem/
