PROGRAMMING FOR SQUEAKING BRAKE
OPERATION
ProtoSounds® can be programmed for squeaking brake operation in three different manners;
(1)Squeaking brakes can be activated by bell button control, (2)they can be programmed for
continuous operation subject to throttle changes or (3)they can be programmed to be turned off.
The default setting is (2) Squeaking brakes are in continious operation as described on page 8.
To change the default setting,
enter RESET and go to Feature
45. (See the section
Using
RESET To Program
ProtoSounds on page 18
).
Once in Feature 45, press the
whistle button and wait for the
module to sound a bell ding(s).
Continue pressing the whistle
button until the module plays
back three dings for option 3 -
Squeaking brakes OFF.. Press the whistle button again until the module plays back one ding
for option 1 - Squeaking brakes activated by bell button. Once you have decided on the
desired setting, simply turn the throttle off and then on again to Lock-In the new setting. To
reset the computer to its original factory default setting (option 2 - squeaking brakes on all the
time, repeat the above procedure but keep pushing the whistle button until the module only
responds with two bell dings.
PROGRAMMING FOR WHISTLE IN NEUTRAL
OPERATION
If you are operating your engine with a separate bell button and want to blow your whistle
when your engine is in neutral, you will need to program ProtoSounds® to do so as the factory
setting only allows the whistle to blow in forward or reverse. To do this, enter RESET and go
to Feature 25. (See the section
Using RESET To Program ProtoSounds®
on page 18.) Once
in Feature 25, press the transformer whistle button and wait for ProtoSounds® to sound a bell
ding(s). Continue pressing the whistle button until ProtoSounds® sounds two bell dings
(signifying that ProtoSounds® has
been programmed to sound the
whistle in neutral). Turn the throttle
off and then on again to Lock-In"
your selection. Now, whenever you
are in neutral, you can blow the
whistle with the transformer whistle
button. To reset ProtoSounds® to its
original factory setting of no horn in
neutral, repeat the above procedure
but keep pressing the whistle button
in Feature 25 until ProtoSounds® only dings once instead of twice.
Note: When “Whistle In Neutral" is set, the bell will only operate with a separate bell button
and the whistle will not sound in neutral if the transformer throttle setting is over 11 volts. At
11 volts or higher, ProtoSounds® may arm the coil coupler for operation whenever the whistle
button is pressed and the engine is in neutral.
