ACTIVATING REMOTE LOCK-OUT CONTROL
ProtoSound® equipped engines feature a RESET setting that allows the
operator to remotely “lock” the engine into forward, neutral or reverse.
This is especially useful on layouts that feature “blocked” track sections.
The lockout feature comes from the factory in the OFF position, meaning it
is not active when you first take the engine out of the box. This is done to
prevent novice operators from accidentally locking their engine into
forward, neutral or reverse and then mistakenly thinking that the engine’s
electronics have failed. To activate the Remote Lockout Control setting, go
to RESET Feature 40 (See
the section entitled
Using
RESET To Program
ProtoSounds®
on page 17).
Once in Feature 40, press
the transformer whistle
button and wait for
ProtoSounds to sound a bell
ding. Continue pressing the
whistle button until
ProtoSounds sounds two
bell dings signifying that the Remote Lockout Control has been selected.
To lock in the setting, simply turn the throttle all the way off and then back
on again. To turn the Remote Lockout Control setting back off, go back to
Feature 40 and press the whistle button until only one bell ding sounds. To
lock in the setting, simply turn the transformer throttle off and then back on
again. Alternatively, you can go to RESET Feature 18 to reset all
