Premier U50C Diesel Engine Operating Instructions

Transformer Compatibility and Wiring Chart

Proto-Sound 2.0 is designed to work with most standard AC transformers. 
The chart below lists the many compatible transformers.  Note that many of
the operational commands described in these instructions require a bell button, 
so if your transformer does not have its own bell button, you should consider
adding one to get the full benefit of the system.  In addition, the chart details
how the terminals on these transformers should be attached to your layout.
