Tips on Using PSA
•You can terminate PSA at any time by turning off power to the track for 15
seconds.
•You do not have to be in Forward to use PSA. At the conclusion of the full
sequence, the train will pull away from the station in whatever direction you
were going when you activated the feature.
•You can use PSA even if you are double-heading with another engine. If the
second engine is not equipped with Proto-Sound 2.0, you must remember not to
leave the throttle at a high voltage level once you have stopped the engine to run
the PSA. Otherwise, the engine without PSA will begin vibrating on the track as
its motors strain to move the train, since they cannot be automatically disabled
during the PSA cycle (or if an original Proto-Sound engine, PSA are triggered
differently and that engine's motor-disable feature will not be active when you
run PSA in Proto-Sound 2.0).
•PSA can be triggered from Neutral. It will operate the same as if triggered
while in motion except that, at the conclusion of the PSA, the engine will depart
in the next direction of travel, as opposed to the direction it was traveling before
entering Neutral.
Proto-Coupler® Operation
This locomotive is equipped with one or more coil-wound Proto-Couplers for
remote uncoupling action. Because Proto-Couplers are controlled through the
Proto-Sound 2.0 microprocessor, they do not require an uncoupling track section
or modification to your layout to function. You can fire a coupler from neutral or
while in motion. Use the code shown below (and in the chart on p. 9) to fire the
coupler(s).
Rear Coupler:
To fire the rear coupler, quickly tap the Bell button once followed by three quick
taps of the Horn button, allowing approximately ½ second to lapse between each
quick button press. The sound of the liftbar and air line depletion will play, and
the knuckle will be released.
Front Coupler:
To fire the front coupler (if your engine has one), quickly tap the Bell button
once followed by four quick taps of the Horn button, allowing approximately ½
second to lapse between each quick button press. The sound of the liftbar and
air line depletion will play, and the knuckle will be released.
