troubleshotings mth (mode reset dcru) from france

Hi David.....Has your engine ever run on DC current?   I believe proto-1 was designed to run on AC current otherwise  you might get constant whistle blowing?

You may need a new battery as well.  Most proto-1s need a good battery to get out of reset.

Good luck.

Thanks for help ,i had no whistle blowing ,just twoo bells applyng power and red lights every where ,i hear a relay (same as railking ) when i increase voltage to 15 ,when i cut current the lights dead in 4 seconds ,i ve no experience about proto ,i ll try a new batterie first ,after i ll see .... it ll be sad to downgrade to an railking monitoring
