Hi everyone, I have a small irritation and I know that the Forum will get rid of it. I currently have two Z4000 and one TIU. Z#1 is wired to the 2 fixed positions on the TIU. Z#2 is wired to the 2 variable positions on the TIU. Z#1 runs loop #1 and loop #2 depending on which handle you are using. Z#2 runs loop #3 and loop #4 depending on which handle you are using. If I want to run either loop #3 or loop #4 I need to power up Z#2 plus Z#1 and put about 5W on loop #2 in order to get loop #3 or #4 to work. I know why this is required, it's because of the TIU needing the imput from Z#1. Would buying another TIU and wire it to Z#2 solve this problem? Is there another less costly way to do it? I definitely am looking for the easiest (Not necessarily the cheapest way) of doing this. I thank all who respond in advance.

I believe the simplest solution is a small wall wart power supply from Radio Shack to power your TIU thru its small power jack.  You may need to bring it into the store to match the plug size,  I can't recall the voltage/amperage requirement, but I'm sure that someone else will comment.

From another thread.   Radio Shack Enercell wall wart.

Another source of power for the TIU's Aux. Power port is the Radio Shack "#273-331 "Enercell™ Switchable 18/24VAC 1 AMP Power Adapter with #273-344 Enercell™ Adaptaplug™ M. It should be used (only) on the 18 volt setting.
