pushing the button. If you don’t have a separate bell button, the bell can be

controlled through your transformer’s whistle button whenever the engine

is in NEUTRAL. The bell will never ring continuously in RESET

(Remember NEUTRAL is the state between Forward and Reverse). Once

the bell is turned on, it will continue to ring when the engine is cycled into

forward or reverse until you press the bell button or re-enter NEUTRAL

and turn the bell off with the whistle button.

To turn the bell on using the transformer’s whistle button, turn on power to

the track and cycle the engine into NEUTRAL. Turn the throttle to 8 volts

or less (any higher voltage will arm the ProtoCoupler™) and press the

whistle button. The bell should begin chiming. To turn the bell off, press

the whistle button again. If you want to keep the bell on while running the

engine, simply interrupt the power with the transformer throttle or the

transformer directional switch and enter forward or reverse.

PROTO-COUPLER™ OPERATION

Your RailKing SW 8-9 Proto-Sound® equipped locomotive has two

coil-wound ProtoCouplers™ for remote uncoupling action. The couplers

are mounted on the power trucks. Because the ProtoCoupler™ is controlled

through Proto-Sound® microprocessor, it doesn’t require an uncoupling

track section or modification to your layout to function. The three simple

steps below are required to operate the coupler.

1. Put your engine in NEUTRAL and turn the throttle all the

way up.

2. Press the transformer whistle button to “Arm" the coupler.

(You will hear a “Clank")

3. After arming the coupler, press the whistle button again to

open the coupler.
