Hi,

I have a couple of DCS remotes, one is not reacting to most of the button commands, as if the contacts  are not making contact when pushing the buttons. This is with most functions. With consistent efforts an engine will act to most of the commands, turn on, shut down, stop, reverse, etc. 

Is the controller worn out or is there something I can do to revive the functions?

Thank you,

Joe

Joe,

Connect the remote, using a 4-conductor telephone handset cable (the curly kind), to the TIU's Remote Input port. If things improve, the problem is most likely that the remote's transceiver board has floated out of its socket and needs to be reseated.
