Activating Passenger Sounds (PFA)-
Detailed PFA Instructions
Arming The Passenger Sounds Feature
Before the Passenger Station sounds can be heard, the feature must be
activated. The feature can be activated in one of two ways.
ARMING THE PASSENGER SOUNDS FEATURE
Before the passenger station sounds can be heard, ProtoSounds must
activate the feature so that the next time the engine enters the neutral
position, the sounds can play, The feature can be activated one of two ways.
Option 1:
f you are using the Z-4000™ transformer, or any transformer
with a separate bell button controller, you can activate the feature by simply
pressing and holding the bell button for at least three seconds (it does not
matter if you are in forward, neutral or reverse). You will hear the bell turn
on and, after three seconds, you should hear a short horn blast or air release.
Once the horn blast or
air release is heard, the
bell button can be
released. The bell will
continue to chime, so if
you want to turn off the
bell ringing, simply
press and release the
bell button. If you were in neutral, interrupt the transformer throttle to enter
the next directional state (either forward or reverse).
(Note: the PFA will
only play in the first Neutral after it is armed. You can not interrupt the
power twice to enter another direction and still have the PFA active.)
You
can now trigger the sounds to begin playing when you next enter Neutral.
Option 2:
If you do not have a separate Z-4000™ transformer (or separate
bell button available), you can activate the PFA using your transformer’s
whistle button control. To arm the PFA, turn on the transformer throttle and
cycle your engine into Neutral (not RESET). Once in neutral, set the
transformer throttle to 8
volts or less and press and
hold the whistle button for
at least three seconds. You
will hear the bell turn on
and, after three seconds,
