in neutral). Turn the throttle off and then on again to “Lock-In" your
selection. Now, whenever you are in neutral, you can blow the horn with
the transformer whistle button. To reset ProtoSounds® to its original
factory setting of no horn in neutral, repeat the above procedure but keep
pressing the whistle button in Feature 25 until ProtoSounds® only dings
once instead of twice.
Note: When “Horn In Neutral" is set, the bell will only operate with a separate bell button and
the horn will not sound in neutral if the transformer throttle setting is over 11 volts.
PROGRAMMING FOR TAS OPERATION
ProtoSounds® is equipped with a RESET setting to automatically select
the Trolley Announcement Proto-Effects Options (TAS) features. You also
may want to configure TAS for manual operation or turn it off completely.
To configure TAS, enter RESET and go to Feature 28. (See the section on
Using RESET To Program ProtoSounds® on page 13). 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 one bell ding(s) (signifying that the TAS feature has
been turned off). Simply turn the transformer throttle OFF and then ON
again to lock in the new
setting. To reset
ProtoSounds® to its
original factory setting of
Squeaking Brakes and TAS
on, repeat the above
procedure but keep pressing
the whistle button in
Feature 28 until
ProtoSounds® dings 3
times instead of once. Interrupt the throttle by turning it OFF and then ON
again to lock in the new setting. If you prefer TAS Option 3 - Manual
Mode, repeat the above procedure but keep pressing the whistle button until
you hear 2 bell dings instead of 3.
ACTIVATING REMOTE LOCK-OUT CONTROL
ProtoSound® equipped engines feature a RESET setting that allows the
operator to remotely “lock” the engine into forward, neutral or reverse.
This is especially useful on layouts that feature “blocked” track sections.
