ZIMO MS480

PLEASE NOTE: Due to chip shortages, MS decoders are temporarily supplied with alternative chips. As a result, ZIMO is temporarily applying a surcharge! We have partially incorporated this in the sales price.

MS480
(predecessor: MX648)
Miniature sound decoder with either PluX16 interface or with wires as types MS480, MS480R, MS480F. The dimensions are exactly like the non-sound decoders defined by NMRA and VHDM standards! “MS-Sound” with fully digital sound amplifier of 1 W. Connection for external energy storage via solder pads with an upper capacity limit of approx. 1000µF.

Connection diagrams can be found in the operating instructions Instructions for all MS decoders
