TIPS ON USING FYS FEATURES

FYS is a unique feature of ProtoSounds™ that is completely controlled by the

operator. You decide how, when or if you want to utilize the feature. By

reviewing the following tips, you should find solutions or suggestions to the

various operating scenarios you might encounter when using FYS.

Tip #1:

You can escape the FYS sequence by interrupting the transformer

throttle before the man whistles in Event 2 (neutral before reverse).

Tip #2:

You can terminate FYS at anytime by turning the transformer throttle

Off for 15 seconds.

Tip #3:

You do not have to be in the Forward phase to utilize FYS. For

example, if you activate the FYS feature while in Reverse and interrupt the

throttle to enter Neutral, you will be entering Neutral Before Forward rather

than Neutral Before Reverse as defined in Event 2 above. Consequently, the

Forward phase will be rendered inactive by ProtoSounds™ instead of the

Reverse phase as explained in Event 3. This will allow your train to leave the

yard in the same reverse direction that it arrived in.

Tip #4:

You can utilize FYS even if you are double-heading with another

engine regardless of whether the second engine is equipped with an FYS

programmed ProtoSound™ module. If the second engine isn’t equipped with

FYS, the only thing to remember is that you not turn up the transformer throttle

very high when entering the Reverse phase found in Event 3. If the throttle is

set too high, then the second locomotive will begin vibrating on the track as its

motors will be turning in the reverse state since they cannot be disabled

automatically like FYS equipped engines. If your second engine is equipped

with FYS, you may want to disable it when used in double-headed operations.

To disable FYS, see the section on programming for squeaking brakes and FYS

operation on page 15 of this manual.

Tip #5:

It is not necessary for the squeaking brake sounds to be heard to play

the FYS sounds. For example, the brake sounds won’t be heard if the high

voltage setting is below 13 volts when the power is interrupted to enter the

Neutral state.

Tip #6:

You can leave any of the event states at any time after entering the

state by simply interrupting the transformer throttle. Any sound effects

programmed to play in that event will simply not occur. The only exception is

Event 2 and Event 5. In Event 2, interrupting the throttle has no effect on FYS

until after the man whistles and the freight car doors have opened. In Event 5,

you cannot interrupt FYS until after the engine begins to move. Interrupting

the throttle before the engine begins to move has no affect on the locomotive’s

operation.
