Tips on Using FYS

• You can terminate FYS at any time by turning off power to the track for 15

seconds.

• You do not have to be in Forward to use FYS. At the conclusion of the full

sequence, the train will pull away from the station in whatever direction you

were going when you activated the feature.

•

You can use FYS even if you are double-heading with another engine. If the

second engine is not equipped with Proto-Sound 2.0, you must remember

not to leave the throttle at a high voltage level once you have stopped the

engine to run the FYS. Otherwise, the engine without FYS will begin

vibrating on the track as its motors strain to move the train, since they

cannot be automatically disabled during the FYS cycle (or if an original

Proto-Sound engine, FYS are triggered differently and that engine's

motor-disable feature will not be active when you run FYS in Proto-Sound

2.0).

•

FYS can be triggered from Neutral. It will operate the same as if triggered

while in motion except that, at the conclusion of the FYS, the engine will

depart in the next direction of travel, as opposed to the direction it was

traveling before entering Neutral.

This locomotive is equipped with one or more coil-wound Proto-Couplers for remote

uncoupling action. Because Proto-Couplers are controlled through the Proto-Sound 2.0

microprocessor, they do not require an uncoupling track section or modification to your

layout to function. You can fire a coupler from neutral or while in motion. Use the code

shown below (and in the chart on p. 7) to fire the coupler(s).

Rear Coupler:

To fire the rear coupler, quickly tap the Bell button once followed by three quick taps of

the Horn button, allowing approximately ½ second to lapse between each quick button

press. The sound of the liftbar and air line depletion will play, and the knuckle will be

released.
