PRR S-2 Turbine Operating Instructions
Activating Freight Yard Sounds (FYS)-
Detailed Instructions
Arming The Freight Yard Sounds Feature
Before the Freight Yard Sounds can be heard, the feature must be activated.
The feature can be activated in one of two ways:
Option 1:
If 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
whistle blast or air
release. Once the
whistle 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 FYS will only play in the first Neutral after it is
armed. You cannot interrupt the power twice to enter another direction
and still have the FYS active.)
You can now trigger the sounds to begin
playing when you next enter Neutral
Option 2:
If you do not have a Z-4000™ (or a separate bell button
available), you can activate the FYS using your transformer’s whistle button
control. To arm the FYS, 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,
you should hear a short whistle blast. Once the whistle blast or air release is
heard, the whistle button can be released. The bell will continue to chime,
so it you want to turn off the bell ringing, simply press and release the
