DC-3 Rail Inspection Car

Starting Up

Solution

Only my headlight comes on, nothing else.

This is normal behavior. The super capacitors

are charging and this will take between 1-20

seconds.

When I first turn the power on, the engine will

not begin to run.

This is normal behavior. To prevent acciden-

tal high-speed start-ups, Proto-Sound® 3.0 is

programmed to start up in neutral anytime track

power has been turned off for several seconds.

See the “Basic Operation” section for more

details.

The engine will not start after I press the Direc

tion button.

You may not be sending enough power to the

track to power the engine. Rotate throttle clock-

wise to increase track power.

Horn

Solution

I can't get the horn to blow when I press the

Horn button.

You may be pressing the button too quickly. Try

pressing the Horn button more slowly, taking

approximately one full second to fully depress

the button.

Bell

Solution

I can't get the bell to ring when I press the bell

button.

You may be pressing the button too quickly.

Try pressing the bell button more slowly, taking

approximately one full second to fully depress

the button.

Coupler

Solution

When I try to fire the coupler, PFA starts.

You are waiting too long between Horn button

presses. See the timing instructions located at

the beginning of the "Proto-Sound 3.0 Operating

Instructions" section.

The Proto-Coupler won't let the engine uncouple

on the fly.

Try lubricating the coupler knuckle and rivet with

a dry graphite lubricant.

The coupler does not fire or stay coupled.

The coupler needs to be cleaned. Wipe with de-

natured alcohol (not rubbing alcohol) and let dry.

The rear coupler does not fire, but coupler

sounds play.

Check position of Auxiliary Proto-Coupler

Control Switch. Switch Should be in the “OFF”

position for the rear coupler to fire.

Cab Chatter

Solution

Sometimes the Cab Chatter sounds don't play.

Cab Chatter plays only in neutral at random

intervals.

Conventional AC

Troubleshooting Proto-Sound® 3.0 Problems

Although Proto-Sound® 3.0 has been designed and engineered for ease of use, you

may have some questions during initial operation. The following table should answer

most questions. If your problem cannot be resolved with this table, contact M.T.H. for

assistance (telephone: 410-381-2580; fax: 410-423-0009; [email protected], 7020
