RAILKING
Once the Feature is activated, FYS will be played the next time the engine
enters the Neutral position. In order for FYS to begin, power must remain
on once the engine enters the Neutral position. At this point, ProtoSounds®
has taken over control of your engine and disabled the bell and whistle
buttons from any further operator actions. In addition, ProtoSounds® has
reconfigured the way the reverse unit functions by disabling the reverse
state during operation of the FYS feature. This forces the engine to leave
your freight yard in the same direction it arrived in. The following operator
controlled “events” control FYS’s actions and sounds.
Event 1 (Forward)
While the locomotive is running in forward (or
reverse) FYS is activated by the operator pushing and holding the bell
button down for three or more seconds. The locomotive bell begins
chiming and can be left on or turned off without disabling FYS.
Event 2 (Neural Before Reverse)
The operator now interrupts the
transformer throttle to stop the engine and put it into Neutral. If the throttle
setting was at 14 volts or higher , ProtoSounds® will play the sound of
squeaking brake sounds as the engine comes to a halt.
A. Upon stopping of the engine, the operator must immediately turn the
throttle back on to keep the engine in the Neutral position. If the bell
was not turned off after activating FYS, it now turns off
automatically.
Note:
Failure to turn the throttle back on within 3 seconds of
leaving the Forward phase will disable FYS and shutdown
ProtoSounds®. The next time you turn power back on your engine
will be in the RESET position. See page 6
for more information on RESET.
B. After entering Neutral, ProtoSounds®
will immediately play an air release sound
followed approximately 2 seconds later by
