want to stop at a 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 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 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.
