Z4000 Failure

Gilly,

4000 - means Z4000

0124 - means 01.24 software version in transformer.

Your picture shows both the right and left lights ( red and green) lit up.  In that state the throttles are not fully turned off.  About the only thing YOU can do is this:  disconnect power to the tracks and the 10 and 14 VAC posts on the transformer.  Before you power up, make sure both throttle handles are OFF, fully down.  Cycle both circuit breakers.  Now - power up - the 4000/0124 should come on for about 2-4 seconds then go off,  red light should be off.

That is about all you can do unless you have knowledge of its construction.  If the red light comes on, or you get no output power using the throttles, the pots may have to be reset and you may have other internal damage.  This can be repaired, by the MTH Service Dept.

Thanks for the very prompt response. We are seeing this on power-up with the transformer disconnected and both levers solidly "off". Looks like this one is headed to MTH.
