Passenger Station Announcements (PSA)
Your engine is equipped with a sound package of passenger station
announcements that you can play when you pull into a station. 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 PSA sufficient time to run through each sequence.
• To cue the sound system to play the PSA, 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 PSA. The reverse unit is temporarily disabled so that the train will
not move as you use the Direction button to trigger the sounds, and Proto-
Sound 2.0 has disabled operator control over the Horn and Bell buttons until
the full PSA sequence is complete.
• After waiting about 30 seconds for that sequence to run, press the Direction
button again to trigger the second sequence of PSA. After about 30 seconds,
press the Direction button again to trigger the third PSA 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 PSA sequence.
The PSA will continue, and within a few seconds, the engine and bell will
start and move out on its own 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.
