TRANSFORMER COMPATIBILITY AND
WIRING CHART
ProtoSounds® is designed to work with any standard AC transformer that
uses a “Pure Sine-Wave" format. The chart below lists the many Lionel®
compatible transformers, such as the Lionel KW or ZW models. In
addition, the chart details how the terminals on these compatible
transformers should be attached to your layout. The Trainmaster system
from Lionel® will not function correctly with ProtoSounds® without
disrupting the sound effects. Therefore, whenever ProtoSounds® senses that
the Trainmaster system is being used, it automatically disables
ProtoSounds® sound effects. The operator retains control over the engine,
but no sound effects will play.
