Activating Passenger Sounds (PFA)-
Arming The Passenger Sounds Feature
Before the Passenger Station sounds can be heard, the feature must be
activated. The feature can be activated in one of two ways.
ARMING THE PASSENGER SOUNDS FEATURE
Before the passenger station sounds can be heard, Proto-Sound® must
activate the feature so that the next time the engine enters the neutral
position, the sounds can play, The feature can be activated one of two ways.
Option 1:
I f you are using the Z-4000® transformer, or any transformer
with a separate bell button controller, you can activate the feature by simply
pressing and holding the bell button for at least three seconds (it does not
matter if you are in forward, neutral or reverse). You will hear the bell turn
on and, after three seconds, you should hear a short whistle blast or air
release. Once the
whistle blast or air
release is heard, the bell
button can be released.
The bell will continue to
chime, so if you want to
turn off the bell ringing,
simply press and release
the bell button. If you were in neutral, interrupt the transformer throttle to
enter the next directional state (either forward or reverse). (Note: the PFA
will only play in the first Neutral after it is armed. You can not interrupt
the power twice to enter another direction and still have the PFA active.)
You can now trigger the sounds to begin playing when you next enter
Neutral.
Option 2:
If you do not have a separate Z-4000® transformer (or separate
bell button available), you can activate the PFA using your transformer's
whistle button control. To arm the PFA, turn on the transformer throttle and
cycle your engine into
Neutral (not RESET).
Once in neutral, set the
transformer throttle to 8
volts or less and press and
hold the whistle button for
