Volume
Solution
The sounds seem distorted, especially
when the Horn or bell is activated.
No Sound
®
Proto-Sound 3.0 volume is set too high.
Turn the volume control knob on the bottom
of the chassis counter-clockwise to reduce
the volume.
Volume is set too low, adjust volume control
knob on the bottom of the chassis clockwise
to increase the volume or check connector to
speaker.
Lock-out
Solution
I can't get the engine to run after I power
up the transformer. It sits still with the
diesel and compressor sounds running.
The engine won't lock into forward,
neutral, or reverse.
The engine maybe locked into the neutral
position. Follow the procedure in the "Lock
into a Direction" section to unlock the
engine's direction. Engine speed must be
below 10 scale mph (approx. 10 volts or less
in conventional mode).
PFA
Solution
Once in PFA, the engine doesn’t go into
reverse.
When the PFA enters its last sequence
the bell automatically comes on
When PFA is enabled, pressing the
whistle and bell has no effect
I push the direction button but the next
sound clip in the sequence does not
play or the engine does not come out of
PFA after fourth press of the direction
button.
So that PFA effects can be as realistic
®
as possible, Proto-Sound 3.0 disables
the reversing unit whenever PFA is
enabled. This way the engine remains
still at its stop as the operator cycles
through the PFA sequences.
PFA is programmed to start ringing the
bell at that point. After approximately 12
seconds, it will automatically turn off.
Because PFA must control various
®
effects in each sequence, Proto-Sound
3.0 takes control of these sound effects
until you exit PFA
Each PFA clip must play for aprox. 30
seconds before PFA will advance to the
next step in the PFA cycle. Wait at least
30 seconds in each PFA sound clip
before pressing the direction button.
