ok a brief update on some progress. Wired three blocks of track (MTH DCS) and ran a diesel to check out signal strength, two blocks were 9's and 10's the third block was dirty and had only 3's and 4's. After a through cleaning and wiping with odorless mineral spirits, signals went to the 8's and 9's. Was able to control power to the blocks with the AIU so all is happy. Next was the task of powering and controlling my first switch. Using a DZ-1000 and auto non derail wiring, was able to successfully enable non-derail feature first, then it was onto controlling the switch with the AIU. Was able to fully control switch with AIU however the AIU only pulses the switch, so the green and red leds only stayed lighted during the 1/2 second pulse. They only stay lighted with the anti-derail feature is in use. ????? Not sure how to get the leds to stay lighted to signal present condition (straight or turn) ????? Switching the return to the yellow and green switch wires is the issue with anti-derail wiring. If I latch the switch, then auto non derail will make the switch chatter . Anyone have a solution????? Thanks
