RailKing PCC Street Car Operating Manual
completed its sequence, the car will be sitting on a track section with
enough power to sufficiently get the car moving again. Adjusting the
overall track voltage will help adjust the speed necessary to carry the car
through the insulated track section but caution should be taken that not too
much power is on the track or the car may pass through the insulated
section before 3 seconds of negative DC was received by the ProtoSound®
module. This will be obviously the case if the car’s bell turns on instead of
it stopping.
TIPS ON USING THE TAS FEATURES
TAS is a unique feature of ProtoSounds® that can be completely controlled
by the operator or automatically configured on the layout. 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 TAS.
Tip #1:
You can escape the TAS sequence by turning the transformer throttle
to OFF after TAS has been activated and waiting 3 seconds before turning the
throttle back ON. This will return the car to the RESET position.
Tip #2:
You do not have to be in the forward state to utilize TAS. For
example if you activate the TAS feature while in reverse and interrupt the
throttle to enter neutral, you will be entering neutral before forward rather than
neutral before reverse as normally defined by the ProtoSound® sequencing.
TAS, however, remembers what direction state the car was in before activation
and will return the car to that same state upon completion of the TAS
sequence, skipping the next direction state normally found in the ProtoSound®
sequence. This will allow your car to leave the stop in the same reverse
direction that it arrived in.
Tip #3:
In Auto Mode, putting the car into Neutral immediately after the car
stops (when TAS has been activated) will cause TAS to play 3 dings of the
bell, play the door closing sound and repower the car into the forward mode.
Tip #4:
In Auto Mode, putting the car into Neutral after the car stops (when
TAS has been activated) and the sound of the car doors opening has played
will cause TAS to play two dings of the bell, play the door closing sound and
then proceed into the forward mode.
Tip #5:
In the Track Configured Mode, interrupting the power while the car is
traveling through the insulated track section will cause TAS to sound 3 dings
of the bell, close the doors and proceed off in the reverse direction.
