TIU rev L... inadvertently left z500 unplugged at the aux power in. Fixed 1 and fixed 2 outputs are powered by a pair of Z1000's feeding to separate loops. Talk about a simple hookup..no wires at all to the input side of the TIU just the outputs @fixed 1 and 2. thumb

Yep, if you have power on FIXED #1, you don't actually need the AUX power. However, if you trip the breaker on FIXED #1, you'll loose the TIU altogether, and whatever is running on FIXED #2 is on it's own with no DCS signal.

That's the reason it's smart to provide aux power to the TIU.
