Tiu blinks nine times

What do you mean by "cannot find it?"  The light inside blinks 9 times when powered up?

I'm only aware of up to 5 blinks.

Obviously, GRJ, you're luckier than digital N&W.

is my Tiu dead? Cannot find it -- any suggestions? 

Been there, seen that, got the T shirt. The only difference is that mine blinked 25 times.  

The issue is rare, however, there is a fix.

The fix is to just reload the TIU's software with DCS version 4.10, 4.20 or 4.30.

There are  a couple of caveats:

• After the software update, the TIU will have DCS ID# 1
• If whatever release of DCS you use for the TIU is different from what's in any your other TIUs or remotes, you'll have to update those devices as well.

That's a new one Barry, I didn't realize there was a "blink runaway" issue at times.

John,

It's rare. The only occurrences of which I'm aware are mine and one other.

Barry,

   Finally something that did not happen to my DCS, this is a 1st!

Barry,

Finally reloaded software 4.3-- The program ran and said it was complete  removed power  waited plugged power back in -- the tiu blinked 6 times, unplugged plugged back in blinked 9 times.  reloaded 4.3 again  same scenario blinks 9 times. Any Other suggestions?

Thanks

Michael

Barry, 

One more thing-- the tiu was originally programed with 4.1  should I have reprogrammed with 4.1?

No, that makes no difference at all.

Unfortunately, I do not.

I'd suggest a conversation with MTH tech support, detailing what you tried and what was the result. It would appear that there are varying severity levels of this particular problem.

Dig n&w,

   Got to admit this is a 1st for me also, and I definitely agree with Barry,

it's MTH tech time for sure and please let us know what happens and the fix

they use to correct the problem.  Maybe GGG here on the forum will help if he sees this post!

No help on this one, as I have not seen that before.  Even though it blinks 9 times, can you address it?  Can you change the address?  G

I have a rev G TIU that blinks 9 times also. If I cycle the power it will blink 3 times, so I set TIU  to 3. When I push read it reports TIU 3 not found. When I set it to super I can operate the engine already current( setup on second working TIU ) in the remote and everything works. When I push read it still reports TIU not found.  Any thoughts?

See my posts above.

A reload pf the TIU software with 4.20 or 4.30 should correct this. If not, it has to go back to MTH.

Barry,

Is this a specific TIU issue or related to the software update? Was going to bring a friend up from 4.2 but if this may result it we'll leave it as it works fine for them.

It's a TIU issue that is rare and independent of a particular DCS release. The one time that I encountered this was with DCS 4.10.

MTH built-into DCS 4.20 and later the code necessary to correct the problem.

 I loaded 4p3.tiu software with no change. I noticed that the TIU code version is blank. I will look for an MTH service center. Thanks for your help
