RailKing D&RG 4-6-0 Operating Manual
USING “RESET" TO PROGRAM
PROTO-SOUND®
Proto-Sound® is equipped
with
several programmable
features which are
accessed in the RESET
state by moving the
transformer throttle up
and down between full
voltage and low voltage (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 and returned. In addition, there are special sounds to
tell you what RESET position you are in.
For example, if you want to select Feature 2, put the engine in RESET, and
move the throttle up and down from full throttle to low two times. After the
second advance, you will hear two “clinks" indicating that the computer is
now in Feature 2. Advance the throttle again and you will hear three
“clinks" for Feature 3. Advance it two more times and you will hear a
“clank" indicating that you are now in Feature 5. Advance the throttle two
more times and you will hear a “clank" and two “clinks" indicating Feature
7. ((5 throttle advancements = 1 clank) + (2 throttle advancements = 2
clinks)). “Clank” + “Clink" + “Clink" = Feature 7. You can advance the
throttle as quickly as you like and the computer will still remember the
number of times the throttle is advanced by playing back the number of
“Clinks" and “Clanks" to confirm the feature you’ve selected.
