QSI Magnums - the Old Style vs the New Style

Buy QSIS Decoders

The prior Magnum was a two board assembly that utilized the former Aristo PnP decoder that plugged into the Magnum adaptor that included 8 screw terminals to make the motor, lights and track power connections. This application required the two circuit boards as shown below:

5 Chuff Cam #1

7 Ground

Old Magnum Pin #
Track + 1

Rear Light 3
18V Common 4

The new Magnum is one integrated assembly comprised of two stacked circuit boards. The new Magnum WILL NOT plug into the old Magnum adaptor but is simple to install by removing the 8 wires from the old magnum adaptor and installing them into the appropriate screw terminals on the new Titan Magnum. The old Magnum adaptor is not needed when using the new Titan Magnum.
