Having a problem with a ZW-c (32390)controller. i can not get any out put from the controller after programming it for TMCC operation with my legacy hand held. i have followed the programming procedure in the manual, but nothing seems to work. The ZW-c works like an original ZW in regular(non TMCC) mode. Any suggestions???
Thanks,
Rich

Have you used this ZW with a TMCC base?
Here is a little info that may pertain to what you are seeing...
It's a thought. And by the way, disassemble is not necessary, you can change the cip if you are careful without taking the circuit boards out.
Moving the handles sets the maximum voltage limit. If they are in the off position, there is no voltage to dial up to with the remote.
Try moving A to maximum and then turn it on, base first, then ZW. Next try to dial up track voltage. You have to address the TR#.
Try Mike's product video on the Lionel site.
I would hope you read the directions for using it but yes Moonman is correct by starting with the easy stuff. I just assumed, shame on me, that you've done that.
Thanks for the response to my ZW-c problem As it turns out, I found after using the ZW-c and an old, TW transformer that my Legacy controller seems to be the problem. I am not able to increase the voltage/speed using the speed control knob on the hand held. The only way I can make an engine run( intermittently) is to hold in the boost button. Consequently I am not able to increase the speed on the ZW-C. This after waiting 2 years for Lionel to make it!!!!
Is this a common problem with the new issue??? My old Legacy system I got with the first legacy Big Boy runs great!
problems with the velocity dial(big red dial) have been reported with the new units. Get an RMA from Lionel and send it in for repair.
