USING “RESET" TO PROGRAM
PROTOSOUNDS®
As mentioned earlier, there are several programmable options in each
ProtoSound-equipped engine that can be remotely set from any compatible
standard AC transformer equipped with a whistle button. For a list of
compatible transformers, see the chart on page 34. This hands-off approach
gives you unprecedented control of your railroad empire’s motive power
never before seen in model railroading. Each programmable feature can be
accessed whenever your engine is in the RESET state as described earlier
on page 5. By following the instructions below you will find the
programming easy and straight forward.
ENTERING RESET OPTIONS
ProtoSound® is equipped with a few programmable features that 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
