User Guide

NOTE: The speaker impedance should be kept near or above 8
ohms, therefore four 8 ohm speakers in a series/parallel
configuration is acceptable since it yields 8 ohms total
impedance. If you care to use two 8 ohm speakers you must
place them in SERIES.

When connecting DC power to the sound unit be absoloutly
sure that the "+" and "–" are connect correctly! If not, you will
either burn out the sound unit or the supply feeding it. This is
not covered under warranty!

Speaker Output
Common Horn signals used with this sound system
SOUND INDICATION
long, 3-short .................. flagman protect rear of train
2-short ........................... acknowledgment
4-short ........................... call for signals
short, long ..................... inspect train line for leak or brakes sticking
2-long, short .................. approaching meet or wait point
2-long, short, long ......... approaching grade crossings
continuous long ............. approaching stations or junctions
successive shorts .......... alarm for something on track
Wiring standards:
wires with a "•" ARE a connection!
wires crossing over (without a "•") DO
NOT CONNECT!
HORN: sound is controlled by the reed switch trigger. Upon closure of the reed switch via an
external magnet, the sound system will begin to play appropriate Horn patterns. Each activation
will trigger a different Horn signal (play pattern). We used appropriate railroad patterns for a
moving train.
BELL: sound is first activated by passing the reed switch trigger. After the bell has rung a few
times, it may be triggered off by passing the reed switch over the magnet again. The bell will turn
off at the end of a ring.
GENERAL OPERATING INFORMATION:
VOLUME ADJUSTMENT:
should be set as desired for your application. Please remember that the
amplifier can produce more power than a small speaker can handle and that the sound will be
louder if the speaker is properly enclosed and baffled. If you are using batteries, the louder the
volume the shorter the battery life.
NOTCH ADJUSTMENT: full clockwise will yield notch #8 on the diesel at approximately 8 volts to
the track / motor. Rotate the control CCW to increase the voltage required to reach notch #8.
Gauge 1 and other operators using higher motor voltages will probably want to set this control full
CCW. Placing a 1k resistor in series with one of the motor leads will also lower the engine RPM
sound further when higher motor voltages are present.
