MTH F3 Diesel Engine

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 33. 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 engine 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 engine 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.
