ProtoSounds® to sound a bell ding(s). Continue pressing the whistle button
on and off until ProtoSounds sounds two bell dings (signifying that the PFA
features have been turned
off). Simply turn the
transformer throttle OFF
and then ON again to lock
in the new setting. To reset
ProtoSounds® to its
original factory setting of
Squeaking Brakes and PFA
on, repeat the above
procedure but keep pressing
the whistle button in Feature 28 until ProtoSounds® only dings once instead
of twice.
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 17). 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.
