FYS PROBLEMS
REMEDY
The FYS feature does not begin even after stopping
the engine and hearing the brake sounds.
The power was not turned back on once the engine
enter the neutral state thus disabling FYS.The
transformer throttle was interrupted too quickly in
neutral thus disabling FYS. Leave the throttle on in
neutral until after the FYS arrival message plays.
The FYS sound effects occasionally repeat
themselves.
Proto-Sound® has a built-in random number generator
that randomly selects each sound clip to play.
Because there are only a total of 8 sound clips
available in each FYS event, it is probable that a
sound can occasionally be repeated one or more
times.
Once in FYS, the engine never goes in reverse.
So that the passenger station sound effects and
operation is as realistic as possible, ProtoSounds
disables the reverse unit state whenever FYS is
enabled. This way the engine never goes into reverse
as the operator cycles through the various FYS
events.
When the engine enters FYS event 5, the bell
automatically comes on.
FYS has a built--in command to turn on the bell when
the system enters Event 5. After approximately 15
rings of the bell, it automatically will turn off.
Whenever FYS is enabled, pressing the whistle and
bell buttons has no affect.
Because FYS must control various effects in each FYS
event, the bell and whistle functions are disabled until
either the FYS events have been completed, or the
engine is shut down for 3 or more seconds.
I can’t get FYS to begin when the engine is stopped in
the neutral position.
It is possible that FYS was never enabled or has been
disabled. Try reactivating the feature by holding down
the bell button for three or more seconds.
