PFA PROBLEMS

REMEDY

The PFA feature does not begin even after stopping

the engine and hearing the brake sounds.

The power was not turned back on once the engine

enter the neutral state thus disabling PFA.The

transformer throttle was interrupted too quickly in

neutral thus disabling PFA. Leave the throttle on in

neutral until after the PFA arrival message plays.

The PFA sound effects occassionally repeat

themselves.

ProtoSounds has a built--in random number generator

that randomly selects each sound clip to play.

Because there are only a total of 8 sound clips

available in each PFA event, it is probable that a

sound can occassionally be repeated one or more

times.

Once in PFA, the engine never goes in reverse.

So that the passenger station sound effects and

operation is as realistic as possible, ProtoSounds

disables the reverse unit state whenever PFA is

enabled. This way the engine never goes into reverse

as the operator cycles through the various PFA

events.

When the engine enters PFA event 5, the bell

automatically comes on.

PFA has a built--in command to turn on the bell when

the system enters Event 5. After approximately 15

rings of the bell, it automatically will turn off.

Whenever PFA is enabled, pressing the whistle and

bell buttons has no affect.

Because PFA must control various effects in each PFA

event, the bell and whistle functions are disabled until

either the PFA events have been completed, or the

engine is shut down for 3 or more seconds.

I can’t get PFA to begin when the engine is stopped in

the neutral position.

It is possible that PFA was never enabled or has been

disabled. Try reactivating the feature by holding down

the bell button for three or more seconds.

PROTOSOUND RESET FEATURE CHART

The following chart lists the available features found in your

ProtoSound equipped locomotive. The default settings for each feature

as well as the operation sequence of the feature are listed in separate

columns. You can reset all features to their original factory settings by

accessing Feature 18 in RESET and press and hold the transformer

whistle button until you hear a soft, warbled bell sound.
