Isn't passive mode connecting to the output only? I was thinking (probably incorrectly?) that the TIU had to see power on the input before it would send the DCS signal? I have never tried passive mode or super TIU mode either for that matter.

Works fine when the voltage is on the output, try it.

John,

Whatever.

It's not "rocket science", it costs nothing and it takes no particular skill to implement. To me, that's the definition of a good solution.

 That's your definition of a good solution. 

Pretty presumptuous of you to assume that you know better what will work for us in our situation.  Operationally, people that come in on visitor's days will find it much easier to live with my solution, it doesn't take any extra knowledge or extra keystrokes and synchronization.  They just turn on the track they're staged on and start up and drive out.  To me, that's the definition of a good solution.  Since I get to define the solution for my circumstances, that happens to be the definition of a good solution in this case.
