Using the Product as Intended
The 60985/60986/60987 decoders are for converting
Märklin/Trix H0 locomotives to digital.
!
Not suitable for motors with fi eld-wound coils. Locomotives
with these motors must be converted with the appropriate motor
retrofi t kits, item numbers 60941, 60943, or 60944.

Installation instructions
Warranty card
Tools also needed for the installation procedure include: regular
and cross-point screwdrivers, tweezers, and soldering sta-
tion with a maximum soldering temperature of up to 30 watts
/ 400˚Celsius / 752˚Fahrenheit with a fi ne tip, soldering 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 dangerous
static charge from your body and to damage to the compo-
nents.
• Operate the decoder only with the authorized voltage (see
technical data).

There is a danger of burning yourself when working with a
soldering station.

(LV), lights rear (LH), AUX 1 – AUX 4 and at the motor outputs.
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. An appropriate
control device is required for this (60213/60214/60215 Central
Station CS2 with software version 4.0 or higher, 60216/60226 CS3
and/or 60971 Programmer).
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 set-
tings for the 60985,90976 and 60987 decoders. Unless otherwise
stated, the functions refer to both decoders.
• Capable of multi-protocols (fx (MM), mfx, DCC, and AC/DC).
