what happened I don.t know but my tiu got 3 dots while my remote only had 1. As far as I know I never change the tiu, but then again maybe it had 3, I never look at it before. Question, is it possible for the train to run while tiu is3 dots and remote 1? Aslo where can I find a dvd showing wireing and changing tiu and remote. I have Barry.s book. Thank you all and have a healthy new year. Sonny

Do you mean the tiu blinks 3 times upon powering it up? And the remote only has tiu 1 added to it? No it won't work. The fix is to add tiu #3 to the remote and delete tiu #1.
However when you delete TIU # 1 all your engines are going to be deleted as well.
The way around this is to do a factory reset of tiu #3
You should be all set to go...
Menu/ system/ Tiu set up.... lots of options re adding deleting editing. A big help is the number of blinks , the number of blinks is the actually tiu number
1 blink is TIU #1 2 blinks is tiu #2 etc. up to 5 blinks.
Thank you Gregg I will try what you said, sure hope it works, but if I do what you said I know it will work. Just one more thing, do you know of a good dvd? Sonny
please let us know what you find out SONNY.

Look on the OGR website, they made a DVD on setting up and using a DCS system. It's older, but I think it does a good job of explaining things.
Actually, no need to go to the OGR website, top menu of this new forum layout has a link to the OGR 'Web Store' where the DVD is available under 'Instructional Videos'.
Gregg, I tried too do what you said, but someplace I made a mistake. I now have 4 red dots. So I tried too find the 4 but only found 2 thng it jumped to 5 no 4. I think it is just me for now. Oh yes I found on my tiu that both variable do not work now. Do you think that I need to put in a new (now my mind won.t let me know what is is) at 91 I.m getting shorted my self. I.ll keep trying. will let you know. Sonny.
if you send me an email with your phone number would be glad to walk you threw the tiu and remote reset!

That's a pretty nice and good deal Sonny, go for it.
Gregg I found out that there is something wrong with my remote. I had another one and it worked all under one blink. So it looks like I.ll be using the one remote an two tiu. Remember I have six engines running when I can get six running on six separate tracks, each about 16 ft long and 4 ft wide. If I need help I.ll call you Gregg. Thank you for all your help and time you spent on me. Sonny
