Reply to "Weak DCS signals, Failed TIU Output Drivers, and Design Solutions devloped under collaboration between AGHR and MTH"

Thank you for answering me! Sorry to drag you off course. You know what the wiring is however, I didn't have a clue. I should have researched your profile to see you are in that club. I now get a good idea of what you're doing.

So just one more question to help get you a proper answer from the techs here. Are the TIUs hooked up with chokes?

OK 2 questions, how are the TIUs powered? the relay cuts the track connection and/or power to the TIU?

I have to confess that many years ago I tried passive mode. The signal was weaker and that was a big deal to me. So from then on I did not use it anymore. I never heard of anyone attaching chokes to restore the signal strength back then. There were no version L TIUs back then.

 I am tempted to try passive mode again outside on my G scale. I never saw any significant power draw way back when I tried it with one TIU channel. The way you're club is wired, my info wouldn't apply to you here.

Hopefully a tech will bail me out here as I never heard of TIUs wired this way with relays for isolation. I'm tempted to guess at the reasons but it wouldn't help you here and now.
