Passenger/Freight Announcements (PFA)
Your engine is equipped with a sound package of either passenger station
announcements or freight yard sounds that you can play when you pull into a
station or a yard. Each sequence described below will play as long as it is left on,
randomly generating sounds, but be sure to allow approximately 30 seconds
between the button pushes described below to allow the PFA sufficient time to
run through each sequence.
•To cue the sound system to play the PFA, quickly but firmly tap the
Bell button once followed by 2 quick taps of the Horn button while the
engine is moving. Tap the buttons quickly but allow approximately ½
second between each press.
• Press the Direction button once to stop the engine. This will trigger
the first sequence of PFA. The reverse unit is temporarily disabled so
that the train will not move as you use the Direction button to trigger
the sounds. Proto-Sound 3.0 has disabled operator control over the
Horn and Bell
buttons until the full PFA sequence is complete.
•After waiting about 30 seconds for that sequence to run, press the
Direction button again to trigger the second sequence of PFA.
•After about 30 seconds, press the Direction button again to trigger the
third PFA sequence.
•Again, after allowing about 30 seconds for that sequence to run, press
the Direction button one more time to trigger the fourth and final PFA
sequence. The PFA will continue and within a few seconds the bell will
begin ringing, then the engine will begin moving at the current throttle
setting, in the same direction it was traveling when you began the sequence.
Once the bell turns off, the operator regains control of the transformer's
bell and Horn buttons and can ring the bell or blow the Horn as
usual.
