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 Feature 40
(See the section entitled
Using RESET To
Program ProtoSounds®
on page 13). Once in Feature 40, press the
transformer whistle button and wait for ProtoSounds® to sound a bell ding.
Continue pressing the whistle button until ProtoSounds® sounds two bell
dings signifying that the Remote Lockout Control has been selected. To
lock in the setting, simply turn the throttle all the way off and then back on
again. To turn the Remote Lockout Control setting back off, go back to
Feature 40 and press the whistle button until only one bell ding sounds. To
lock in the setting, simply turn the transformer throttle off and then back on
again. Alternatively, you can go to RESET Feature 18 to reset all
ProtoSound® features back to their original factory defaults including
Remote Lockout Control.
RESETTING ALL PROTOSOUND® OPTIONS TO

you think it should and don’t
want to take the time to check
