Transformer Compatibility and Wiring Chart

Proto-Sound®  2.0 is designed to work with most standard AC transformers. 
The chart below lists the many compatible transformers.  Note that many of  the 
operational commands described in these instructions require a bell button, so if  
your transformer does not have its own bell button, you should consider adding 
one to get the full benefit of  the system.  In addition, the chart details how the 
terminals on these transformers should be attached to your layout.
