SET UP
Connect the two wires from the Synchro Sound
2
to the track outputs from your DCC
System or any convenient section of your track rails. Polarity does not matter.
Go to address #3. The Synchro Sound
2
is pre-programmed with address #3 and zero
momentum at the factory.
Select the locomotive on your layout that you wish to
pair
with
the Synchro Sound
2
. Program the Synchro Sound
2
to have the same DCC address as the
locomotive. Once completed the locomotive and Synchro Sound
2
will operate seamlessly
together.
NOTE: The Synchro Sound
2
will only pair with one locomotive at a time, and
must have its address changed to pair with a different locomotive address. To change
Synchro Sound
2
address without changing the locomotive address,
you must remove the
locomotive currently paired from the track.
OPERATION
The Synchro Sound
2
has a
start up and shut down feature. If the loco
motive
was
previously shut down you have to start up the engine. Press any function key to start up
the engine before operating the loco
motive
. To shut down the engine you must bring the
loco
motive
to idle and then press F8
t
hree times.
Double pressing F1 (two pressings within approximately 1 second) will turn on/off the
diesel rumble.
Double click F0 will turn on/off sound (CV49). You can’t turn off
the
horn which is
always on. The
system
has four types of diesel prime movers, plus “off”. You can use
F12 to select this feature or use CV 123. You can use F19 to select 34 different horn
sounds and use F18 to select 8 different bell sounds. With MRC Prodigy DCC which has
28 functions, you can easily setup and access all the decoder’s functions. If your DCC
System is limited in functions or can not program CV’s you may not be able to access
all the features of th
e Synchro Sound
2
.
With some DCC Systems you will have to use
CV programming to set up
your Synchro Sound
2
.
The
Synchro Sound
2
default is set to automatic notch. You can program CV122 to 3 for
manual notch for realistic operation. And then use F9 to notch up and use F8 to notch
down.
There are many more program features available with th
e Synchro Sound
2
.
Please refer
to the CV Chart to explore other features of the
