PROGRAMMING FOR SQUEAKING BRAKES AND
FFYS OPERATION
ProtoSounds® is equipped with a RESET setting to turn off the Freight
Yard Proto-Effects (FYS) features. This is especially useful if you are
double-heading engines that are both equipped with FYS. You may not
want to stop at a freight yard and have both engines playing their FYS
sound effects. To turn off
FYS, enter RESET and go
to Feature 28. (See the
section on Using RESET
To Program ProtoSounds®
on page 18). Once in
Feature 28, 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 the FYS features have been turned off). Simply turn
the transformer throttle OFF and then ON again to lock in the new setting.
To reset ProtoSounds® to its original factory setting of FYS on, repeat the
above procedure but keep pressing the whistle button in Feature 28 until
ProtoSounds® only dings once instead of twice.
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 eature
