PROTOSOUND® VOLUME ADJUSTMENT
Your ProtoSound® system has two types of volume adjustment. A
manual turn knob on the bottom of the chassis (See Fig. 1, on Page 3)
allows you to control all the sounds in the system and a remote control
“RESET" option (Option # 6), allows you to control the volume level of the
car motor sounds remotely from the transformer. Turning the volume
adjustment knob clockwise will increase the volume and counterclockwise
will lower the volume of all sounds; bell, horn, engine sounds, TAS, etc.
USING “RESET" TO PROGRAM
PROTOSOUNDS®
As mentioned earlier, there are several programmable options in each
ProtoSound® equipped engine that can be remotely set from any
compatible standard AC transformer equipped with a whistle button. For a
list of compatible transformers, see the chart on page 28. This hands-off
approach gives you unprecedented control of your railroad empire’s motive
power never before seen in model railroading. Each programmable feature
can be accessed whenever your car is in the RESET state as described
earlier on page 4. By following the instructions below you will find the
programming easy and straight forward.
ENTERING RESET OPTIONS
ProtoSound® is equipped with a few programmable features that are
accessed in the RESET state by moving the transformer throttle up and
down between full voltage and low voltage (6 to 8 volts) without shutting
the transformer off
completely. Each time this
is done you advance, one
feature at a time, through
the available options. An
air-release sound is heard
each time the throttle is
advanced. In addition,
there are special sounds to
tell you what RESET position you are in.
For example, if you want to select Feature 2, you put the car in RESET,
and move the throttle up and down from full throttle to low two times.
