Taking Remote Control of Additional Z-4000 Transformers:

Change the transformer select switch to Z-4000 2 or 3 and repeat steps 4, 5 and 6 above.

Note: if you run more than one Z-4000 transformer, it is possible for the receivers to be on

the same channel. This will cause undesired operation on one of the Z-4000 transformers.

If this happens, you will need to power off all your Z-4000s, remove and re-install a

battery in the transmitter (to interrupt and restore power), and retake control of your

transformers one at a time. You may need to power off and re-take control several times.

Controlling One Transformer with Two Different Remote Transmitters:

Place the Track Select switch on the rst transmitter to the track of your choosing and then

complete steps 5 and 6. For the other transmitter, power the Z-4000 transformer off. Flip

the second transmitter’s Track Select switch to Track 2 and complete steps 5 and 6. You

now have control of your Z-4000 transformer with two different transmitters.

Operating Train Features Using the Z-4000 Remote Control Handheld:

For operation of the Horn/Whistle, Bell, Direction, and Program buttons, see the Z-4000

transformer instructions. These buttons work the same way on the remote as on the

transformer.

Brake - To slow the train or stop it momentarily, press and hold the Brake button. The

train will slow to a stop. At the same time you will see the Z-4000 transformer indicated

voltage drop to 5.0 volts. When you release the Brake button the train will speed up to the

commanded voltage displayed on the remote and the Z-4000 transformer indicated voltage

will increase to the same level.

Boost Speed - To increase the speed momentarily, press and hold the Boost button. You

will see the Z-4000 transformer indicated voltage increase to a maximum of 22.

CAUTION: If you hold the Boost button too long it is possible to derail the train,

especially around corners. Release the Boost button and the train will slow to its com-

manded voltage as displayed on the remote. The Z-4000 transformer indicated voltage

will decrease to the same voltage.

If at any time you wish to immediately stop all trains running on a Z-4000 trans-

former, press the Panic Button. This will instantly send both track voltages to zero.

Caution: this will affect only the selected Z-4000 transformer.

Programming Proto-Sound® Features Using the Z-4000 Remote Control Handheld:

Before you begin programming your Proto-Sound-equipped engine, please refer to the

operating instructions that accompanied your engine for instruction and a list of available

Reset features.

To program your Proto-Sound-equipped engine using the remote transmitter, set the com-

manded voltage to 0.0, allow the engine to enter “Reset” mode, and press the Program

button. You will see a ashing decimal point on the remote’s LCD. Using the throttle

wheel, scroll the throttle up to the desired feature number and press the Bell/Select

button. (Alternately, you may use the Horn/Whistle and Direction buttons to scroll up and

down respectively to the feature number.) At this point, follow the steps as given for

setting the selected feature in your locomotive’s operating instructions, using the handheld

transmitter’s buttons rather than the transformer’s. Note: When in Z-4000 Program Mode,

the Bell/Select Button will perform the functions of the Whistle Button as indicated in

the locomotive’s operating instructions. When you have nished setting your preferences,

press the Program button again to return to normal train control. The commanded voltage

numbers will re-appear in the LCD screens and the decimal will stop ashing.

Regaining control with the Z-4000 Transformer:

To gain control with the Z-4000 transformer, press any button on the transformer and

control will be given back to both tracks on that transformer.

If you would like to preset a voltage on the tracks so that when you gain

control with the transformer your trains continue to run, follow these instructions:

1. Gain control with the remote control (see steps 4 and 5 in the SETUP section).

2. Gain control back with the transformer by pushing any button on

the Z-4000 transformer (this will cause the voltage to drop to zero initially).

3. Use the throttles on the Z-4000 transformer to set the track voltage(s) to

whatever you desire. When you wish to return control to the handheld, press any

button on the remote or scroll the throttle on the remote. You should now see

RC RC in the amps window, indicating that the remote has regained control

(Fig. 5). The voltage now displayed is the commanded voltage from the remote.

The next time you take control with the Z-4000 transformer by pushing any

button on the transformer, it will run the train(s) at the voltage you set with the

Z-4000 transformer throttles. This allows you to switch between remote control

and local control and still have the train(s) running at a commanded voltage.
