TIU question

Any power supply that provides between 12 and 22 volts AC and 1.5 amps or greater is what MTH states in the instructions. I use Z-500 bricks to power the AUX IN since I had several laying around.

Thanks Paul,
I guess I better ditch the DC supply and try something different.

David, a 12-18 volt DC or AC power supply is fine. I use a 12-volt DC wart on my workbench TIU that was for an old phone.

I use either an old HO transformer or one from a race car set.

DPC, if that wall wort is good for 1.5 amps it will do fine.
Most warts can't pump that amperage tho.

Good Luck.

PS you can always jumper the Fixed 1 to Var 1 in, the TIU won't care.

I asked this a while back and was told NOT to use a DC wall wart and to use AC ONLY. I had a load of DC out wall warts and none with an AC output.

So what's the real deal?

I was using the AC side of an old Troller Transamp 1,but have since gone back to using my Z750 and jumpering the inputs of Fixed 1 and Variable 1.

Bob,
As VaGolfer advsied any 12-22 Volt power supply will power the TIU, I purchased one from
Raido Shack to leave with the layout equipment, it works just fine. Set your cheannels to fixed, power up and drive on. I did plug the 12-22 Volt power supply into a multi plug unit with a switch, so I could shut off the power to the TIU when I shut down the layout.

You can see the small white 12-22 volt power supply just above and to the right of the ZW, in this picture, payed about $8.00 for it, at the that time. This is they kind of technical information
found in Barrys book, and on the DCS Video Guide.
