Using RESET To Program Proto-Sound®
While Proto-Sound® is equipped with only a few programmable
features, additional memory chips can be obtained to “Upgrade" the
system in the future. Programmable features are accessed in the RESET
state by moving the transformer throttle up and down between full
voltage and low voltage (6 to 8 volts) without shutting the transformer
off completely. Each time this is done you advance, one feature at a
time, through the available options. An air-release sound is heard each
time the throttle is
advanced. In
addition, there are
special sounds to
tell you what RESET
position you are in.
For example, if you
want to select
Feature 2, you put
the engine in RESET, and move the throttle up and down from full
throttle to low two times. After the second advance, you will hear two
“clinks" indicating that the computer is now in Feature 2. Advance the
throttle again and you will hear three “clinks" for Feature 3. Advance it
two more times and you will hear a “clank" indicating that you are now
in Feature 5. Advance the throttle two more times and you will hear a
“clank" and two “clinks" indicating Feature 7. ((5 throttle advancements
= 1 clank) + (2 throttle advancements = 2 clinks)). “Clank + “Clink" +
“Clink" = Feature 7. You can advance the throttle as quickly as you like
(though you may not hear the air-release sounds) and the computer will
still remember the number of times the throttle is advanced by playing
back the number of “Clinks" and “Clanks" to confirm the feature you’ve
selected.
Remotely Adjusting The Engine Volume
Of all the sounds that come with each Proto-Sound® equipped
locomotive, the one most often turned down is that of the engine
volume because it is the one sound normally heard whenever the
engine is running and is what usually can become tiresome to the ear
over prolonged running sessions. The volume adjustment is controlled
through RESET Feature 6.
