If you have an elegant proposition to get rid of this power coming from the WIU (via USB), that would solve this problem and at least one more that I know: The more complicated reset of the TIU after the use of the Emergency Button when a WIU is present.
Just put each TIU and its associated WIU on the same AC surge protection switch. Then, the TIU and AIU can be powered on and off together.
Hi Barry,
That is (unfortunately) the solution that we now have to use since we added the WIUs at our club. (4x WIU/TIU). It forces us to turn off all four WIUs for no good reason. (we just want to reset the TIUs after an emergency). This "all power-off" method is a much longer recovery process than the Z4K one that we have been using for years successfully :
Previously, we were simply using your suggested Z4K method "Using More Than 3 Z4000s With Z4K Tracks" (p.101 - DCS Companion) to remote control the power out of our 5x Z4000. This elegant, fast and remote method does not work anymore for an emergency reset since the WIUs are keeping the power on the TIUs via the USB.
