Station Stop Operation
The following information explains how to use the Proto-Sound 2.0 system in command
mode when running trains equipped with Station Stop Proto-Effects. Appropriate mod-
els include Subway Cars, PCC car and Trolley cars.
Automatic Operation
For automatic mode behavior, specific station stops and distances between them can be
programmed and saved. The process for this, or “learn” mode is outlined in the follow-
ing steps.
1. The user presses MLM to enter “learn” mode.
2. The trolley is driven to the track location for where the first stop will be stored.
3. The user will select the specific stop to be programmed using the LST softkey.
4. The stop will be saved by pressing the SAV softkey.
5. Steps 2-4 are repeated for the remaining stops to be programmed. Stops must be
stored in sequence as is required in conventional mode. Interim stops are removed from
availability in the stop list.
6. After the last stop is programmed, the sequence is saved as either out and back (OAB)
or loop by pressing a softkey. For OAB, the user simply saves the sequence at the last
programmed stop prior to moving the trolley (by either pressing SAV twice or pressing
the SOB softkey). For loop, the trolley must be moved in the forward direction back to
the original point of origin and saved as a loop (SLP softkey or SAV after pressing LST
and sounding the first station again).
The user can toggle in and out of “automatic mode” via a softkey. This key will simu-
late the B-W-W command used to enter and exit automatic behavior similar to the B-W-
W command in conventional mode. NOTE – If the user toggles back into Auto mode
from Manual mode they will have to drive the engine to the first station saved during
Learn mode and ensure the engine is in the correct directional state (Forward or Reverse).
While operating in automatic mode, the user can toggle between “all stops” and “ran-
dom stops” via the FAR softkey.
