I'm having problems getting the rotary beacon & gyralite working in a new Genesis GP38-2...I use a NCE DDC ProCab system, I installed a NCE D13J & programmed CV 51 & CV#7 for the beacon then CV52 & CV#3 for the gyralite then pushed button #5 for the beacon & #6 for the gyralite but nothing happens...If I push button #1 the beacon lights up but dosen't flash...The headlight works and it runs fine, am I missing something??? Roger
Roger, regardless of what Karl says above, not answering your question, You want these CVs set as given: CV33=13 CV34=6 CV35=0 CV36=0 CV122=12 CV123=17 This will cause the Rotary Beacon to come on when headlights (F0 on) are on either direction, and the Gyralight to come on only in the forward direction when the headlights are on (F0 on). If you have further questions, I can answer them.
Keith, I wrote down the wrong decoder #, it is a NCE D13SRJ...I entered the new CV's and the prime stratolite came on when the FWD headlight button was turned on but the gyralight didn't work...When I entered reverse the beacon stayed on but the rear headlight stayed off...Thanks for your help...Roger
Roger, the NCE DS13 series are all programmed alike. Change CV34 to 6. If the rear headlight does not come on, then it is not because of a programming problem. Double check the wiring, test the bulbs with a 1.5v battery. If no issue is found, then the problem is in the decoder.
Might also try a factory reset then re enter the CVs that keith mentioned. Sometimes decoders will just get a bit more of a brain fart and just need a factory reset. Can't remember off the top of my head what the CV is, but it'll be in the manual somewhere.
