My layout has a footprint of 18x24’. I’m using Fastrack. I’m using 14 ga wire in a wire buss configuration for each loop. I have multiple drops on each of the four sides of all four loops. I use two Z4000’s…one serving the outer two loops, the other the inner two loops. My two TIU’s are super TIU’s.
All track sections appear to be tight. When testing the outer loop, I used my multi meter to check each section of track. I consistently read 21-22 volts at each section of track.
When starting up a PS 2.0 or PS 3.0 engine, there is a ten second delay. Trying to move the engine is very sluggish and erratic and therefore difficult to control. I placed each engine on my test track and the engine responds perfectly. I’ve deleted the engines from my remote and have tried to renter them…remote can’t find the engines.
live used new batteries. I have light bulbs connected to TIU outlet posts.
I am totally frustrated. I’ve used same track and system on my other two prior layouts with no problems.
Since I have good voltage throughout the loop, it must be the digital signal. What am I missing? Help!
