Activating Freight Yard Sounds (FYS)

Detailed Instructions
Arming The Frieght Yard Sounds Feature
Before the Frieght Yard Sounds can be heard, the feature must be
activated. The feature can be activated in one of two ways.
Option 1:
If you are using the Z-4000™ transformer, or any transformer
with a separate bell button controller, you can activate the feature by simply
pressing and holding the bell button for at least three seconds (it does not
matter if you are in forward, neutral or reverse). You will hear the bell turn
on and, after three seconds, you should hear a short whistle blast. Once the
whistle blast is heard,
the bell button can be
released. The bell will
continue to chime, so if
you want to turn off the
bell ringing, simply
press and release the
bell button. If you were
in neutral, interrupt the
transformer throttle to enter the next directional state (either forward or
reverse).
(Note: the FYS will only play in the first Neutral after it is
armed. You cannot interrupt the power twice to enter another direction
and still have the FYS active.)
You can now trigger the sounds to begin
playing when you next enter Neutral.
Option 2
If you do not have a separate Z-4000™ transformer (or separate
bell button available), you can activate the FYS using your transformer’s
whistle button control. To arm the FYS, turn on the transformer throttle and
cycle your engine into Neutral (not RESET). Once in neutral, set the
transformer throttle to 8 volts or less and press and hold the whistle button
for at least three seconds.
You will hear the bell turn
on and, after three seconds,
you should hear a short
whistle blast. Once the
whistle blast is heard, the
whistle button can be
released. The bell will
continue to chime, so if you want to turn off the bell ringing, simply press
