RailKing SW 8-9 Operating Manual

transformer and engine are operating correctly. This takes approximately 5

seconds during which you will hear the engine’s startup sounds begin. In

order for Proto-Sound® to properly initiate the system check, do not

advance the transformer throttle past 10 volts when you first enter RESET,

wait for the diesel startup sounds to begin and then slowly turn the

transformer throttle to the off position and then back on again to enter the

forward phase. Interrupting the power too quickly may cause the system to

re-enter RESET (signaled by two dings of the bell). Should this happen,

wait longer before interrupting the power to enter the Forward phase.

Proto-Sound® comes with several programmable functions, including

Engine Volume Adjustment, Separate Bell Button Operation

(pre-programmed at the factory), Cab Chatter On/Off Control, ProtoCoupler

On/Off Control and Horn-In-Neutral Operation. Each of these features are

described in more detail later. You will notice that when in RESET, your

engine will not respond to the whistle button with a horn blast or continuous

bell ringing. In fact, when in RESET and the whistle button is depressed,

only one single bell chime will be heard each time the whistle button is

pressed. If you don’t want to configure or change your locomotive using

any of these programmable features, simply leave RESET and wait 5

seconds before interrupting the power to put the engine in forward. After

you leave RESET, your engine will operate normally in all the direction

states of forward, neutral and reverse.

HORN OPERATION

Your RailKing SW 8-9 Proto-Sound® equipped engine is equipped with a

digital recording of a diesel horn. The horn sound can be activated anytime

the engine is in forward or reverse by pressing the whistle button on your

transformer. The horn will continue to blow as long as the whistle button is

depressed. The horn will not function in RESET and must be configured

through a RESET option to allow the horn to work when the engine is in

neutral. See page 18 for information on horn programming in the Using

RESET To Program Proto-Sound® section of this manual.

BELL OPERATION

Your RailKing SW 8-9 Proto-Sound® equipped engine is equipped with a

digital recording of an actual diesel bell. Unlike previous versions of

Proto-Sound®, the bell can be turned on or off with any separate bell

button, like the Lionel® Railsounds® No. 5906 Bell Button, by simply
