User Manual

Program Sound Volume
In the Program Mode you may individually adjust the
volume of the five sounds (Buttons 1 through 5). To
adjust the volume, press Button 6 and then select and
press one of the sounds (Buttons 1 through 5). Each
sound has four volume level settings. For example, to
adjust the volume of the bell, press Button 6 (you will
hear “Program”), wait 2 seconds and then press Button 1.
At this point, you will hear a sample of the bell sound in
order to judge the volume. Press Button 6 again, (wait
to hear “Program”) two seconds later, Press Button 1 to
hear the next volume level, stopping when the desired
volume is heard.
Restoring Factory Default Settings
In the Program Mode, press Button 5 five times. You
will hear “Program” five times, followed by the air
release sound.
Note: The Bell (F1), Dynamic Brake (F6) and Rail Click-
ety-Clack (F10) cannot play simultaneously – the bell
will interrupt the other two sounds.
Programming for DCC Operation – Digital Mode
This decoder supports all program methods includ-
ing register mode, paged mode, CV programming,
direct mode and programming on the main (OPS mode
programming). Program the locomotive the same way
you would program any other NMRA compatible decoder
with your DCC system.
Note: When programing, program one locomotive at a
time.

DESCRIPTION
Programming for DCC Operation – Digital Mode
This decoder supports all program methods including register mode, paged mode, CV programming, direct mode
and programming on the main (OPS mode programming). Program the locomotive the same way you would pro-
gram any other NMRA compatible decoder with your DCC system.
Note: Due to the nature of dual function decoders, it does not support the CV read back feature.
The Dual-Function decoder is manufactured by Model Rectifier Corporation for Athearn Trains.
Programming - DCC Mode
Your GENESIS F-Unit will operate on any NMRA compat-
ible Digital Command Control (DCC) system. The dual-
function decoder has the following features:
• Synchronized diesel engine sound with random sounds
• 1.5 amp capacity
• Programmable for either 2 digit, (1-127) or 4 digit,
(1-9,999) addresses
• Programmable start voltage
• Programmable acceleration rate
• Programmable deceleration rate
• Programmable top voltage
System Volume Adjustment
The overall system volume can be adjusted with the
pot on the circuit board. To adjust the pot, first carefully
remove the body from the mechanism. Locate the pot on
the board. Refer to the photo for adjusting the volume.
This adjustment should only need to be done once for
you to achieve your desired sound level. You can make
additional adjustments of the user controlled sounds
with your hand unit.
• Programmable 14-28/128 speed steps
• Directional lighting (FO)
• Special lighting effects: Mars Light, Gyralight, Beacon
or Strobe Light
• 19 accessory sound functions, (F1-F19)
• Advanced consisting (CV19)
• OPS mode programming
• Compatible with NMRA DCC standard
• Complies with part 15 of FCC regulations
• Programmable individual sound volume
