I can't set my TIU with remote. Trying to set TIU #1 to address #2, that's the times the red light blinks on the TIU, remote reads out of range. took remote and TIU apart and made sure that the RC was pushed in all the way. tried again, remote reads error connecting to address, out of range. How do I tell which one is bad. I think the remote is bad. I lost all settings on the remote, train ID, ACC, Track. Everything was working fine and then all this started. The TIU address was 1 now it's 2. It changes all the time it was even #4. Now I'm just loss. dis anybody knows what's wrong?.

hi do you have another remote to try with your tiu that would be the easiest way tom prove what your problem is? your remote might have the transmitter board is not seated all the way. I would first try another remote that's the simplest way top diagnose your issue! Alan
Tether your remote to the TIU with a phone cord (4 wire style) and if it works, there is a good chance the Remote is at fault. There also is a board in the remote that may have come loose. G
If it blinks 2 times just add tiu #2 to the remote. If it's added already forget this reply.
I Tether the remote to TIU. Remote reads "TIU ERROR." Anything I tried to set to the TIU, the Remote reads "TIU ERROR." The DCS reads TIU #1 not found!. Do I need to reprogram the TIU?. Thank You: William
William,
You need to delete TIU #1 from the remote and add TIU #2:
- Menu/System/TIU Setup/Delete TIU, highlight TIU #1 and press the thumbwheel once, then again to confirm. Press ENG to exit
- Repeat the above for any TIU other than TIU #2.
- Menu/System/TIU Setup/Add TIU, highlight TIU #2 and press the thumbwheel. Press ENG to exit. If TIU #2 is not present, just press ENG to exit.
Next. press READ. If TIU#2 is found, you're done.
If TIU #2 is not found, tether the remote to the TIU with a 4-conductor telephone handset cable (the curly kind) between the base of the remote and the TIU's Remote Input port, and press READ. Let us know exactly what happens at each step of the above process.
This and a whole lot more is all in “The DCS Companion 3rd Edition!" This book is available from many fine OGR advertisers and forum sponsors, or as an eBook or a printed book at OGR’s web store! |
