LokSound 5 Nano Question

Good Evening:

Wondering if someone can answer the following question regarding the #58923 LokSound 5 Nano decoders:

Is there a ground connection and if so where?  (There are four gold solder pads on one side.)


Thank you,

Tim

Tim,
The nano comes with a separate wire board that the decoder plugs into.
The wiring tabs are marked. See photo.
Hope this helps. [ Guests cannot view attachments ]

Yes, the decoder board itself has no solder pads. It only has a small connector to which the adapter board (with pads) is connected.

I'm wondering if the initial 58923 came with a smaller adapter board (the one shown in all the ESU literature)?  If that is the case, the ground pad is not shown on it.  But on the larger adapter board the ground pads are clearly labeled GND (as shown in Steve's post).
