PROGRAMMING FOR PROTOCOUPLER OPERATION
ProtoSounds comes with a RESET feature that allows the operator to
remotely turn off the ProtoCoupler functions. This is especially useful
when double or triple-heading ProtoSound equipped engines since every
engine equipped with a ProtoCoupler will fire when prompted to by the
operator. By turning off the ProtoCoupler operation on certain engines, you
can fire the couplers open on the other engines without uncoupling the
engines from each other. To turn the ProtoCoupler function off, enter
RESET and go to Feature
10. (See the section on
Using RESET To Program
ProtoSounds®
on page 17.)
Once in Feature 10, press
the transformer whistle
button and wait for
ProtoSound to sound a bell
ding(s). Continue pressing
the whistle button until
ProtoSounds sounds two bell dings (signifying that the ProtoCoupler option
has been turned off). Simply turn the transformer throttle off and then on
again to lock in the new setting.
PROGRAMMING FOR PFA OPERATION
ProtoSounds® is equipped with a RESET setting to turn off the Passenger
Station Sound Proto-Effects (PFA) features. This is especially useful if you
are double-heading engines that are both equipped with PFA. You may not
want to stop at a yard and have both engines playing their PFA sound
effects. To turn off PFA, enter RESET and go to Feature 28. (See the
section on
Using RESET
To Program ProtoSounds®
on page 17).
Once in
Feature 28, press the
transformer whistle button
and wait for ProtoSounds to
sound a bell ding(s).
Continue pressing the
whistle button on and off
until ProtoSounds sounds
