I accidentally hit the emergency stop on my remote and everything shut down like it was supposed to; but I can't understand the instruction book to figure out how to re set. I now think I goofed up the TIU as the remote states TIU address  2, and I only have the one TIU so how do I get that changed? And how to reset? I also think I have lost the two engines that were running. Something also showed up on the screen about power remote.   ???

Thanks for starting to help me walk thru this.

FWIW, I had a friend recently do this and got that phone call. What made this an extra layer of a problem was they had the WIU Wireless module plugged  into a separate power source. So when they turned off their power strip- yes, they turned off their main transformer, yes, turned off the AUX power in to the TIU, however, the USB coming from the WIU kept the TIU powered. So when they hit this E-stop, they then had to not just turn off the power strip that they thought they had everything in, but no, another second strip had constant power and due to being a wall wart and plug spacing, that is partially the reason for using a separate strip.

Bottom line- unless you see that power and status indicator in the TIU completely off, it's not reset. Again, given there are actually 3 ways a TIU can be powered (USB - only on an L, Aux, fixed1), and most only know about the 2 (aux, fixed1) can lead to this problem.

I'll note that the next time this happens. In the meantime I will go back to my book of instructions and see what I am missing to try and fix the problem.

That was a joke, sorry. I don't mean to make light of your issue.

All you need to do is shut everything down, track power, TIU, and remote. Then power up as usual. I've used E-stop several times and never had any problems with it starting up again.

EDIT:  If you don't have a copy of the DCS Companion I urge you to get one.

OK Thanks, I'll check e-bay to see if there is one available. To all that have been reading this. My DCS remote has notices on the screen that say Reset TIU; Power Remote; and TIU address 2.  The instruction booklet which is worse than stereo instructions for my old brain, made it sound that if I use one TIU, which I am, then apparently I should see  the remote say TIU address 1....????
