E-33 Rectifier Operating Manual

Activating Remote Lock-Out Control-

 

Reset Feature 40 (8 Clanks,

0 Clinks)

Reset Feature 40 allows you to enable the Reverse Unit Lockout feature of
Proto-Sound®.  When enabled, you are able to lock the engine to run in
only one of the directional states (Forward, Neutral or Reverse) whenever
power is applied.  The most common use for locking out an engine is in the
use of power blocks on a layout. To use, cycle to Reset Feature 40 and press 
the Horn/Whistle button.  The engine will play a series of bells.  This
indicates the current setting.  Each time the Horn/Whistle button is pressed,
Proto-Sound® will cycle to the next available setting and provide the
appropriate bell indicator. 
The settings for Reset
Feature 40 are 1 Bell =
OFF, 2 Bells = ON.  When
the desired setting is
reached, lock the changes
by interrupting the throttle
and cycling the engine into
forward.

Resetting All Proto-Sound® Options To Factory Defaults-

Reset Feature 18 (3 Clanks, 3 Clinks)

Reset Feature 18 is the most powerful of the Reset features available. 
Using Reset Feature 18 allows you to override all changes in programming
and return all Resets to the
original, out of the box
settings.  To use, cycle to
Reset Feature 18 and press
the Horn/Whistle button. 
The engine will play a
distorted bell, followed by
a clear bell sound.  This
indicates that the
Proto-Sound® system has
restored all settings to factory default settings.  Lock the changes by
interrupting the throttle and cycling the engine into forward.
