Athearn mp15 beacon light help - Espee - 10-24-2021 Can someone possibly help me out? When it comes to dcc I am a fossil at best, anyway I have a athearn genesis mp15 with a flashing beacon light on the roof. Basically I made an error not sure how & did a factory reset cv 8 to 8 & as a result I've lost the beacon light function. Instead when I press function 5 the engine throttles up slightly. I've tried to look over the manual to see if I can see anything about programming the light to work but I cannot see anything. Could someone please tell me what to do to get it working again. RE: Athearn mp15 beacon light help - Schraddel - 10-24-2021 (No adress) What brand of decoder? Factory mounted? Aftermarket fitted? (No signature) RE: Athearn mp15 beacon light help - Espee - 10-25-2021 Evening Schraddel At first I thought it was a factory fitted tsunami but it seems from the paperwork in the box it has a digital DH126D decoder fitted? I purchased the model second user from the hobby store so it could be wrong. I'm a bit of a dinosaur when it comes to technology so hopefully that's the right decoder in the model. Thanks Si RE: Athearn mp15 beacon light help - Espee - 10-25-2021 Sorry that meant to say digitrax my phone changed it whilst I was writting RE: Athearn mp15 beacon light help - Schraddel - 10-26-2021 Hello Si, This is your decoder? https://www.digitrax.com/products/mobile-decoders/dh126d/ There are some links on this page too. Have a look into the manual again: https://www.digitrax.com/static/apps/cms/media/documents/documentation/Decoder_Manual_V2-01_2014.pdf Scroll down to chapter 9.3.5 There is listed what you have to program in which CVs; here it is the value of 038 into CV51. Then your rotary beacon should be available at function output F1 Lutz RE: Athearn mp15 beacon light help - Espee - 10-26-2021 Thanks Lutz The paper I have for the decoder doesn't have any info on cv settings it must be missing. I will pop it on the programme track later today. Cheers Si RE: Athearn mp15 beacon light help - DanRaitz - 10-26-2021 Si If the Beacon is wired to the green wire, it is set up for Function 1. To program for Rotary Beacon, CV51 needs to be set to a value of 38. Dan |
