Description

The MSM-1 is a fully preconfigured sound and light module for RC models. There are 14 different model types with all sound and light settings fix stored in the memory. You can choose from:

• 3 Trucks
• 2 Cars
• 1 Emergency vehicle
• 1 Tractor
• 2 Construction vehicles
• 2 Tanks
• 3 Ships

The different models can be easily selected using a standard RC radio. No software, computer or other programming hardware is required to select the model.

The MSM-1 has 6 proportional inputs that can evaluate 6 channels of an RC receiver. The 1st channel is always the gas/throttle channel and the 2nd channel is the steering in most models. Additional sounds and lights can be controlled via the remaining 4 channels. The sound and light functions differ depending on the model type.

To achieve various lighting effects, the MSM-1 has 8 switching outputs to which, for example, LEDs, lamps and relays can be connected. Lighting functions such as low beam, reversing lights, brake lights, turn signals, hazard lights, etc. can be controlled easily to match sound and movement.

Each of the 14 preconfigured models has ist own driving sound (engine sound) and additional sounds relating to the model type. All functions can be triggered via the RC radio.

Attention: The sounds and settings of the 14 models cannot be changed on the MSM-1!

If you want to be able to change sounds or other settings yourself, we recommend the sound module USM-RC-3.
The MSM-1 can also be viewed as a "simple" plug & play sound module and is very suitable for beginners.
