The first thing I'd look for is an issue in the tracks where the channels powered by the Z4000 handles are either connected together somewhere or the loops themselves are connected to the TIU channels in such a way that they are out of phase with respect to each other.

Disconnect one handle of the Z4000 from its TIU channel input and connect the other handle to both of the channel inputs. If the problem goes away then the loops are possibly connected somewhere. If the problem persists, I'd look for the loops being out of phase with respect to each other.

Tried the first thing with one handle powering fixed 1 and fixed 2. I disconnected the wires from the back of the Z4000 on the left side and put a jumper from fixed 1 positive to fixed 2 positive.  Problem still existed.

When you say the loops being out of phase wouldn't that give me 30 something volts when crossing from one loop to the other?  I've had that issue in the past and they are in phase in that respect.  Everything is sharing grounds if that makes a difference. 

This only happens with the wifi app with both an IPhone and Ipad.  The DCS remote is fine.  I have a revision L with 5.0 installed. Trying to give you all the info I can to work with here.
