PROGRAMMING FOR PROTOCOUPLER OPERATION
ProtoSounds® comes with a RESET feature that allows the operator to
remotely turn off the ProtoCoupler™ functions. This is especially useful
when double or triple-heading ProtoSound® equipped engines since every
engine equipped with a ProtoCoupler™ will fire when prompted to by the
operator. By turning off the ProtoCoupler™ operation on certain engines,
you can fire the couplers open on the other engines without uncoupling the
engines from each other. To turn the ProtoCoupler™ function off, enter
RESET and go to Feature
10. (See the section on
Using RESET To Program
ProtoSounds® on page 17.)
Once in Feature 10, press
the transformer whistle
button and wait for
ProtoSound® to sound a
bell ding(s). Continue
pressing the whistle button
until ProtoSounds® sounds two bell dings (signifying that the
ProtoCoupler™ option has been turned off). Simply turn the transformer
throttle off and then on again to lock in the new setting.
PROGRAMMING FOR FYS OPERATION
ProtoSounds® is equipped with a RESET setting to turn off the Freight
Yard Proto-Effects (FYS) features. This is especially useful if you are
double-heading engines that are both equipped with FYS. You may not
want to stop at a yard and have both engines playing their FYS sound
effects. To turn off FYS, enter RESET and go to Feature 28. (See the
section on Using RESET
To Program ProtoSounds®
on page 17). Once in
Feature 28, press the
transformer whistle button
and wait for ProtoSounds®
to sound a bell ding(s).
Continue pressing the
whistle button on and off
until ProtoSounds® sounds
