If you mean having the power go thru the Z1000 then to the track, and then having the Remote Commander connected to the track separately, and with no power to it:
I already tried it, and it doesn't work. The light on the R.C. box lights up, then blinks when receiving commands from the remote, but will not control the locomotive.
I can control the loco with the transformer, but not the remote.
Right. I thought you said you tried this (with no joy).
But to be clear, above diagram shows the "passive mode" that Casey Jones2 is talking about. I believe this is what you mean when you said the DCS-RC was connected to the track with no power to it...i.e., with NO connection to the DCS-RC input connector as shown in above diagram. As before, in the configuration you'd want the Z-1000 controller set to the max/full CW knob setting when using (attempting to use) DCS command mode via the DCS-Remote-Commander.
