Troubleshooting Proto-Sound 2.0 Problems
Although Proto-Sound 2.0 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 (e-mail: service@mth-railking.com; telephone: 410-381-2580; fax: 410-423-
0009; mail: 7020 Columbia Gateway Drive, Columbia MD 21046-1532).

Remedy
When I first turn the power on, the engine
will not begin to run.
The engine will not start after I press the
Direction button.
My engine sounds are distorted and garbled.
I can't get the whistle to blow when I press
the whistle button.
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 Whistle button more slowly, taking
approximately one full second to fully depress the
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.
This is normal behavior. To prevent accidental
high-speed start-ups, Proto-Sound 2.0 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.
You may not be sending enough power to the track
to power the engine. Press the throttle up for a few
more seconds to increase track power.
The battery may have run down, especially if the
engine has been in storage for some time. See the
"Self-Charging Battery Back-Up" section of these
instructions for how to test, recharge, and (if
necessary) replace the battery.
Coupler Remedy
When I try to fire the coupler, PSA starts.
The Proto-Coupler won't let the engine
uncouple on the fly.
The coupler does not fire or stay coupled.
You are waiting too long between whistle button
presses. See the timing instructions located at the
beginning of the "Proto-Sound 2.0 Operating
Instructions" section.
Try lubricating the coupler knuckle and rivet with
a dry graphite lubricant.
The coupler needs to be cleaned. Wipe with
denatured alcohol (not rubbing alcohol) and let
dry.
Cab Chatter Remedy
Sometimes the Cab Chatter sounds don't
play.
Cab Chatter plays only in neutral at random
intervals.
Lock-out Remedy
I can't get the engine to run after I power up
the transformer. It sits still with the diesel
and compressor sounds running.
The engine won't lock into forward, neutral,
or reverse.
The engine maybe locked into the neutral
position. Follow the procedure in the "Lock into a
Direction" section to unlock the engine's direction.
Engine speed must be below 10 scale mph
(approx. 10 volts or less in conventional mode).
