RailSounds 5.0 sound system operations
Using the RailSounds 5.0 sound system in the TrainMaster Command
Control environment
T
o access all of the features of the RailSounds 5.0 sound system, you must operate your non-
powered B-unit locomotive in the TrainMaster Command Control environment. The CAB-1
Remote Controller is required to activate features such as TowerCom announcements, CrewTalk
communication, and coupler release sounds. Refer to pages 17-25 to learn how the RailSounds
5.0 sound system is integrated into TrainMaster Command Control operations.
For proper operation of the RailSounds 5.0 sound system during track power
interruptions and for the locomotive shutdown sequence, you must install a nine-volt
alkaline battery. See page 10.
In the TrainMaster Command Control environment, you will experience all of the features of
the RailSounds sound system.
•
Eight levels of diesel motor RPM.
Your CAB-1 Remote Controller throttle
automatically determines the level of the diesel motor RPM. You may also set the RPM
sounds to a particular level manually using your CAB-1 Remote Controller.
•
MultiHorn.
A different horn sound at different speeds—a RailSounds 5.0 sound system
exclusive.
•
Mechanical bell.
Press
BELL
on your CAB-1 Remote Controller to begin the effect, then
press
BELL
a second time to discontinue the effect.
•
Squealing brakes.
Press the
BRAKE
button and listen for the squealing of the
locomotive’s brakes as the locomotive slows down.
•
Coupler release sounds.
Use your CAB-1 Remote Controller to release an
ElectroCoupler, and you get the sounds of the coupler opening.
•
CrewTalk dialog and TowerCom announcements.
Use your CAB-1 Remote Controller
to trigger conversations between the dispatcher and locomotive engineer. You’ll hear “hold for
clearance,” “cleared for departure,” and many other exchanges. See pages 15 and 16.
•
Shutdown sequence.
When you turn off track power, you have two seconds to power up
again after you hear the reverse unit reset sound. If you do not restore power, you will hear
the realistic diesel shutdown sequence. Because track power is off, a nine-volt battery is
required for this sequence to function. Refer to Figure 3 on page 10. You may also trigger
the shutdown sequence without powering down the track using the
AUX1, 5
command
when the locomotive is stopped and the diesel RPM sounds are at their lowest level.
