Hi All - I have a TIU that I purchased and am having some issues with it and could use your help. I'm using a Z-500 and do not have anything hooked up to the output ports/track. When I plug the Z-500 into the aux power input I get the steady red light which is good. When I plug the Z-500 into Fixed Voltage In 2 with the barrel jacks I have no issues. When I plug the Z-500 into Fixed Voltage In 1 the 4 amp button on the Z-500 pops out. I opened the unit and replaced all the 20 amp fuses but the same thing is happening. Are there any other tests I can complete or do I have a bad unit? Also, the unit has a Rev.L Thanks for your feedback.

Are you plugging the same Z-500 into the AUX and FIXED 1 INPUT at the same time?
I would check the TVS diode on the output of Fixed 1. I suspect it’s shorted.
@H1000 definitely not at the same time
@Porschev the link was a huge help, same exact issue. Thank you for your help!! In the other link the gentleman asked if he could just use fixed input 2 to run his layout while waiting on the TVS diode to arrive but nobody answered that question. Can anyone weigh in here on that question?
Yes, you can use fixed 2 input and output but you will also have to power the TIU using the Aux input.
