Premier FM Trainmaster Operating Instructions

FYS

Remedy

Once in FYS, the engine doesn’t go 
into reverse.

When the FYS enters its last 
sequence the bell automatically 
comes on.

When FYS is enabled, pressing the 
whistle and bell buttons has no effect.

I push the direction button but the next 
sound clip in the sequence does not 
play or the engine does not come out 

of FYS after fourth press of the 
direction button.

So that FYS effects can be as realistic 
as possible, 

Proto-Sound 2.0 

disables the reversing unit 
whenever FYS is enabled.  This 
way the engine remains still at its 
stop as the operator cycles 
through the FYS sequences.

FYS is programmed to start 
ringing the bell at that point.  After 
approximately 12 rings of the bell, 
it will automatically turn off.

Because FYS must control various 
effects in each sequence, Proto-
Sound 2.0 takes control of these 
sound effects until you exit FYS.

Each FYS clip must play for approx. 
30 seconds before FYS will advance 
to the next step in the FYS cycle.  
Wait at least 30 seconds in each FYS 
sound clip before pressing the 
direction button.
