PROGRAMMING FOR SQUEAKING BRAKES AND
FFYS OPERATION
ProtoSounds® is equipped with a RESET setting to turn off the Freight Yard Proto-Effects
(FYS) features. This is especially useful if you are double-heading engines that are both
equipped with FYS. You may not want to stop at a freight yard and have both engines playing
their FYS sound effects. To turn off
FYS, enter RESET and go to Feature
28. (See the section on
Using
RESET To Program ProtoSounds®
on page 18). Once in Feature 28,
press the transformer whistle button
and wait for ProtoSounds® to sound
a bell ding(s). Continue pressing the
whistle button until ProtoSounds®
sounds two bell dings (signifying
that the FYS 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
FYS 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 engines electronics have
failed. To activate the Remote
Lockout Control setting, go to
RESET eature 40 (See the section
entitled
Using RESET To
Program ProtoSounds®
on page
18). 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.
Alternatively, you can go to RESET Feature 18 to reset all ProtoSound® features back to their
original factory defaults including Remote Lockout Control.
