chimes before automatically
turning off. Once the bell turns
off, the operator regains control of
the transformer whistle and bell
buttons and can ring the bell or
blow the whistle as usual.
Note: When entering the Forward phase of FYS, it is important to set the transformer
throttle at a high enough setting that will allow the engine to begin moving once FYS
automatically activates the motors. Otherwise the engine will just sit still until you
increase the transformer throttle setting on the transformer. However, don’t set the
throttle setting too high or the engine will go racing away faster than you might expect.
TIPS ON USING THE FYS FEATURES
FYS is a unique feature of Proto-Sound® that is completely controlled by
the operator. You decide how, when or if you want to utilize the feature.
By reviewing the following tips, you should find solutions or suggestions to
the various operating scenarios you might encounter when using FYS.
Tip #1: You can escape the FYS sequence by interrupting the transformer
throttle before the mans whistle plays in Event 2 (neutral before reverse).
Tip #2: You can terminate FYS at anytime by turning the transformer
throttle Off for 15 seconds.
Tip #3: You do not have to be in the Forward phase to utilize FYS. For
example, if you activate the FYS feature while in Reverse and interrupt the
throttle to enter Neutral, you will be entering Neutral Before Forward
rather than Neutral Before Reverse as defined in Event 2 above.
Consequently, the Forward phase will be rendered inactive by
ProtoSounds® instead of the Reverse phase as explained in Event 3. This
will allow your train to leave the yard in the same reverse direction that it
arrived in.
Tip #4: You can utilize FYS even if you are double-heading with another
engine regardless of whether the second engine is equipped with an FYS
programmed ProtoSound® module. If the second engine isnt equipped
with FYS, the only thing to remember is that you not turn up the
transformer throttle very high when entering the Reverse phase found in
Event 3. If the throttle is set too high, then the second locomotive will
begin vibrating on the track as its motors will be turning in the reverse
state since they cannot be disabled automatically like FYS equipped
engines. If your second engine is equipped with FYS, you may want to
disable it when used in double-headed operations. To disable FYS, see the
section on programming RESET functions on page 28 of this manual.
Tip #5: It is not necessary for the squeaking brake sounds to be heard to
play the FYS sounds. for example, the brake sounds wont be heard if the
high voltage setting is below 13 volts when the power is interrupted to
enter the Neutral state.
