ZW-C Question

Perhaps reassigning the TR # and voltage settings on the club Legacy with the replacement ZW-C...sort of a reset to pair the units.

Thank you for the response and I been on the phone this morning with some club members and we have come up with your idea to try. Also we learned that you can set the handles A and D to work manual so they run the voltage up with handles all the time. Also we have a TMCC and Legacy connection already with a cable together so we do not use the internal TMCC in the ZW-C anyway. it is just redundant. We are going to try the ID #0 tomorrow and see if that fixes the issue with the new one. We know that the old one worked for the last 5 years so it must the settings on the new. The other one is working just fine. Thanks again Moonman.

I am not sure what you mean. Do you have a Legacy base and a TMCC base?

If some members want to run with the handles conventionally, they should remove the power from the Legacy base before powering on the ZW-C.

Otherwise, they could run variable voltage with the big red button.

I may be preachin' to choir here.

Let me know how you resolve the issue.

Sorry for the confusion on the TMCC stuff. We have TMCC and Legacy controllers connected like Mike has in video 1. What I meant to say is that we do not want to have select TR 1 or TR 4 and roll up the voltage on the ZW-C so you can set the ID number on the ZW-C to 0 and then the handles will always come up to 18 volts when raised. I hope this helps to understand what we are trying to do.

Sorry, wmwalker. I assumed that you had it connected properly, but you know what a s s u m e means.

I guess your members like the handles. I like the remote conventional control.

It is strange that it works on your layout and not the clubs.

So, if I followed a conventional operator at your club with a TMCC or Legacy train, then I would have to push the handle to full manually and the I could use the cab-1 or cab-2, correct?

Have you discovered the solution yet?

Moonman

Yes you are correct on our operations. We have now got the new ZW-C set correctly and will take it to the club layout this week and give it another try.

Here is a link to our web site and you can take a look at the layout and see some pictures.
