Having problem with an MTH ITAD hooked up to a crossing signal. I have one wired to the layout that is working properly with activation as the train passes the ITAD infared and stops once train passes. The other one is "constant on" and will not go off. I have taken the ITAD off and tried it on a separate layout and it works fine.
Do I have a bad connection on a piece of track somewhere??????....... Suggestions....

MTH ITADs are a pain...
You can:
Adjust the sensitivity so it turns off, but it might not activate properly
Put a "hood" over the sensor made from paper or cardboard
Put clear tape over the sensor so the light is more diffuse
Move it from direct light to prevent glare on the sensor
Dim the room so less light hits it
Get a lionel version, it works so much better.
I've found my Lionel 153IR sensors work great with very little fuss, so I have to agree with the previous post.
I have removed all mine and replaced them with Z-Stuff!
