I have watched every video and read through all manuals I have several times now. I have also been searching through all these forums for a simple explanation to my problems. I have not had any luck, so I am wondering if someone could direct me to or answer my questions. I am running 1 main line about 12x30 just to get all the bugs worked out with the two control systems.
1st problem. I have connected Power from Z4000 to "fixed in 1" on TIU. Fixed out 1 to main line #1. I have special cable running from TMCC command base to TIU input as well as the ground wire to the black terminal on TIU fixed 1 out. I power up.....engine receives power and behaves correctly.....i start up engine it starts,i throttle up it moves, i turn on lights and the flash.... all lights flash even the number board. This along with the engine does not "shut down" when commanded. If i take the TIU out of the equation, and use the CAB 1 remote the engine operated as normal with no flashing lights or issues.
2nd where can i get a detailed wiring diagram to add in a second main loop inside the existing that is about 10 x 20 along, with a yard on the inside that has 4 legs. I am considering a RCS double cross with a standard 072 switch on the inside leading to the RCS yard set. I want to have command over everything but i have not found a "dumbed down" explanation of just the basic power wiring for this setup. I don't understand all the types of blocks, how and why they are wired, where to put toggles that don't interfere with command ect. I have seen a lot of reference to a book written by gentleman named Barry. I just don't want to spend any more time and money on dead ends.
I need some direction. Thanks!
