Changing TIU Address

Is the address you're trying to edit to available?    If  the address has  already been added to the remote  before editing you can't do it.

 Another route is.. factory reset the tiu. This will change the address of the  tiu  to tiu #1.

Be careful deleting a tiu. All the engine associated with that tiu will be deleted.

I have factory reset the TIU numerous times and it stays at 2, and it is the only TIU in the remote as I have reset the remote as well.  They are not tied to track, have no engines loaded, etc., just a TIU and Remote.  I get TIU ADDR ERROR, if that means anything.

Well there's something wonky . A factory tiu reset restores the ID to TIU #1.

A feature tiu reset keeps the TIU address . (whatever it might be)  

A remote reset adds tiu #1 by default so unless you delete it you can't edit to tiu #1.

 Maybe it's time to check out the number of red leds blinks on the tiu. the  number of blinks is the actual tiu number.

That's what I thought, and nothing takes out the old address.

Are there an other TIUs powered on? If so, turn them off.

No, no other TIU's are on.  I tired with the remote tethered.  I tried factory reset with the remote tethered.  This TIU wants to be 2!!  As in terrible twos!!  lol.

Delete 2 in your remote.

I did, and did a factory reset on the remote.

 Back to the beginning.. How many red led blinks . That's the actual tiu number.  If you reset the remote all you should have to do is add tiu  #2..   You should get tiu #1 not found, Tiu #2 found if a 2 blinker. 

Reload TIU software.  G

TIU blinks twice, remote finds it with a read as 2.  If I add 2 and delete 1 it will not change 2 to 1.

I didn't think that would affect the address.  If I understand your meaning, you mean reload DCS 5.0.  Correct?

Wonky again.    There' s  something definitely wrong .  The   "read" finds the tiu so both tiu & remote are communicating with  each other.    

 Maybe the tiu software reload V5 (as George suggested) will fix the frustrating problem....   If you have all the stuff handy it shouldn't  take long for a reload.  Good luck.

Maybe try changing the address with just the aux power connected.(nothing else)

Tried that.

Will try the software when I get back home tonight.

Tried reloading DCS 5.0 and no joy.  Just have to live with this unit permanently at 2.  Sigh...

Can you edit to any other address? this is so weird and a first.  Seems a TIU  factory reset doesn't work as well.

Nope, will only be 2.  No amount of cajoling has worked.

Charly,

I've only seen this once before. In that case, the TIU had to be repaired.

My suspicions also, and as long as it does all else without problems, it can stay 2!  lol.  It's a third TIU, and a backup more or less, so not critical.  The other two are fully functioning so it can be worked around.  It's that OCD gene I have that makes this a PITA.

Thanks.
