Premier Genesis Diesel Engine

PSA

Remedy

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

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

When PSA 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 PSA after fourth press of the 
direction button.

So that PSA effects can be as realistic 
as possible, 

Proto-Sound 2.0 

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

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

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

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

Compatibility

This engine will operate on any traditional O Gauge track system, including
M.T.H.’s RealTrax

®

 or ScaleTrax

 or traditional tubular track. It is also

compatible with most standard AC transformers.  (See page 19 for a complete
list of compatible transformers and wiring instructions.)
