After reading your post, I tried programming again (probably 10th time), and I got it to work. For anyone else who encounters one of these;
I am inputting 17 volts from one output throttle of a postwar zw.
The hot and commons from the transformer are wired to the power in,hot and common on the AVC.
I have the dat and com connections daisy chained thru 13 tpcs, ascs, and bpc,s.
The AVC is the last device on the chain.
The downloaded instructions from Lionel make no mention of the two AVC connections labeled AUX- and AUX+. I have checked for voltage but have not been able to determine the purpose for these terminals.
I am also confused about the need to press both AUX1 and AUX2 when programming a voltage. If you can enlighten me about these, I think I will be able to get some use from the controller.
Now that it is working, I plan to wire it as the power source for my two linked transfer tables and the eight associated stub sidings. I may try to find a couple of other accessories I can power from the AVC, recognizing that they will not be available when the transfer tables are active unless they happen to operate acceptably at the sme voltage as the tables ( I'm thinking about 14 volts.
Thank you for responding!!!
