Locked Athern Genesis F45


 

have an Athern Genesis F45 with Tsunami 2 diesel factory installed, when i hit Identify it says it could be any one of over 20 products, is this model not in the system on JMRI?

Bob, That is the way it is for Soundtraxx decoders. There has been no indentifier that decoder pro could use to pick out the actual decoder, so you end up with a list that YOU have to pick out the right decoder or in the case of the Genesis loco the FP45 is in the list. So just select it? and continue on. Open programmer and read-write whatever. Again that is how it works with soundtraxx Tsunami decoders. That is the conundrum that we all face. There is very little uniformity among the various manufacturers. The NMRA should have addressed this issue years ago. Every decoder could get an identifier. Lok sound decoders have a serial number so they can be traced back to manufacture. The NMRA specs were written up 20-25 years ago long before decoders got so complicated. My wish is that all decoders would have the same functions F0-F10. Above that do what they want to make their decoders special.

??? When I get a chance i will sort out the headlight and rotary beacon wires. As? Dan said "it doesn't make any sense".

??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? Rick.

Will need a sympathetic ear so i can vent my frustrations.

Thanks Rick, found f45, like the engine sound, but it seems to not start at power on, only when engine starts up, changed back and forth with read, write, but does not action, changes cv116, and when I look at the Tsunami 2 users manual, it says should be cv198, go to cv’s page but don’t know what to change 198 to manualy, any thoughts

Robert,

I came in, in the middle of this conversation so forgive me. I am assuming that the decoder you are talking about is a Tsunami2. Starting the engine at power up or by function is controlled by CV114 bit 5. Putting a 1 in this bit causes the engine to start up as soon as power is applied. A zero puts it under control of F5/F6.

Thanks, but I changed the decoder selected in jmri and now it will power up when I hit mute, was not doing that before, so it seems that is good enough

?

It is a tsunami2 I think all Athern genesis are that, but there seems to be different ones and they react differently

Soundtraxx has cheat sheets for Athearn engines that have tsunamis in them. I would take a look on Soundtraxx's site if I were you.

You'll never find it if you spell it "Athern". ~} My spell checker even highlights it in this reply!
