RailKing Genesis Operating Manual
like the Lionel® Railsounds® No. 5906 Bell Button, by simply pushing the
button. If you don’t have a separate bell button, the bell can be controlled
through your transformer’s whistle button whenever the engine is in
NEUTRAL. The bell will never ring continuously in RESET (Remember
NEUTRAL is the state between Forward and Reverse). Once the bell is
turned on, it will continue to ring when the engine is cycled into forward or
reverse until you press the bell button or re-enter NEUTRAL and turn the
bell off with the whistle button.
In fact, because of ProtoSounds® state-of-the-art design, the
microprocessor remembers its last command. Therefore, unless you turn
the bell off before you quit running your train, the next time you run the
engine, the bell will come on. No matter whether you come back an hour
later or a year later, the bell will begin chiming once the engine enters one
of the three directional states.
To turn the bell on using the transformer’s whistle button, turn on power to
the track and cycle the engine into NEUTRAL. Turn the throttle to 8 volts
or less (any higher voltage will arm the ProtoCoupler) and press the whistle
button. The bell should begin chiming. To turn the bell off, press the
whistle button again. If you want to keep the bell on while running the
engine, simply interrupt the power with the transformer throttle or the
transformer directional switch and enter forward or reverse.
PROTO-COUPLER™ OPERATION
Your RailKing Genesis ProtoSound-equipped locomotive has two
coil-wound ProtoCouplers™ for remote uncoupling action. The couplers
are mounted on the power trucks. Because the ProtoCoupler is controlled
through ProtoSound’s microprocessor, it doesn't require an uncoupling track
section or modification to your layout to function. The three simple steps
below are required to operate the coupler.
1. Put your engine in NEUTRAL and turn the throttle all the
way up.
2. Press the transformer whistle button to “Arm" the coupler.
(You will hear a “Clank")
3. After arming the coupler, press the
whistle button again to open the
coupler.
