RAILKING
USING “RESET" TO PROGRAM
PROTOSOUNDS®
As mentioned earlier, there are several programmable options in each
ProtoSound® equipped engine that can be remotely set from any
compatible standard AC transformer equipped with a whistle button. For a
list of compatible transformers, see the chart on page 28. This hands-off
approach gives you unprecedented control of your railroad empire’s motive
power never before seen in model railroading. Each programmable feature
can be accessed whenever your car is in the RESET state as described
earlier on page 4. By following the instructions below you will find the
programming easy and straight forward.
ENTERING RESET OPTIONS
ProtoSound® is equipped with a few programmable features that are
accessed in the RESET state by moving the transformer throttle up and
down between full voltage and low voltage (6 to 8 volts) without shutting
the transformer off completely. Each time this is done you advance, one
feature at a time, through the available options. An air-release sound is
heard each time the throttle is advanced. In addition, there are special
sounds to tell you what RESET position you are in.
For example, if you want to select Feature 2, you put the car in RESET,
and move the throttle up and down from full throttle to low two times.
After the second advance, you will hear two “clinks" indicating that the
computer is now in Feature 2. Advance the throttle again and you will hear
three “clinks" for Feature 3. Advance it two more times and you will hear a
“clank" indicating that
you are now in Feature 5.
Advance the throttle two
more times and you will
hear a “clank" and two
“clinks" indicating
Feature 7. ((5 throttle
advancements = 1 clank)
+ (2 throttle
advancements = 2 clinks)). “Clank + “Clink" + “Clink" = Feature 7. You
can advance the throttle as quickly as you like (though you may not hear the
air-release sounds) and the computer will still remember the number of
times the throttle is advanced by playing back the number of “Clinks" and
“Clanks" to confirm the feature you’ve selected.
