Most in-service modules experience frequent changes of temperature, humidity and mechanical stress, which in turn causes accelerated component aging. Aged components may exhibit characteristics or values different from new ones and can affect the way an electronic circuit works. Additionally, modules kept in a maintainers vehicle or handled frequently may have mechanical damage but yet appear to work properly. Because of the mission-critical nature of railroad signal electronics, Genesis only remanufactures signal equipment. Remanufacturing includes testing that reveals faulty or out-of-tolerance components that should be replaced. Subsequent retesting and alignment ensures the module meets or exceeds factory specification and is operating properly. • What do you charge to remanufacture a module? Prices vary by product family. For example, all PMD-1 and PMD-2 modules are the same price, as are all of the modules for a GCP-3000 or MS-2000. Each product family’s modules are charged at th
