REVERSE UNIT LOCK-OUT OPERATION

ProtoSounds® unique design eliminates the need for a lock-out switch on

the powered car by allowing the customer to lock the set into any

directional state (forward, neutral or reverse) from the transformer. This

will allow users to run the set on layouts equipped with block signals or

stop stations which would normally cycle the engine back into neutral. The

feature must be first turned on by accessing RESET Feature 40 (See section

entitled Using RESET To Program ProtoSounds® on page 14).

LOCKING THE SUBWAY SET INTO FORWARD OR

REVERSE

To lock the set into Forward or Reverse, use the transformer throttle to

enter Forward or Reverse (whichever state you want to lock the set into)

and while the set is moving press and hold the whistle button. WHILE THE

HORN IS BLOWING TURN THE THROTTLE OFF AND THEN LET

GO OF THE WHISTLE BUTTON. After about one second, you will hear

a short horn blast. QUICKLY TURN THE THROTTLE BACK ON

AGAIN. Your set is now locked into Forward or Reverse and it will remain

so until you unlock the powered car, even if you wait a year to run your set

again.

UNLOCKING THE SUBWAY SET

Unlocking the set is a similar procedure. WHILE THE SET IS MOVING,

PRESS AND HOLD THE WHISTLE BUTTON. WHILE THE HORN IS

BLOWING, TURN THE THROTTLE OFF AND THEN LET GO OF

THE WHISTLE BUTTON. After three seconds without power you will

hear one chime of the RESET bell. TURN ON THE POWER AGAIN.

Your powered car is now in RESET and will operate normally once you

interrupt power and enter the forward direction.

LOCKING THE SUBWAY SET INTO NEUTRAL

To lock the engine into the NEUTRAL position, PUT THE SET IN

NEUTRAL AND WITH THE THROTTLE STILL ON, PRESS AND

HOLD THE WHISTLE BUTTON. WHILE THE WHISTLE BUTTON IS

BEING PRESSED, TURN OFF THE THROTTLE AND LET GO OF THE

WHISTLE BUTTON. After about one second, you will hear a short blast
