Is there a way to leave Z4000 handles up on power up?

Is there any way to disable this behavior so that I can leave the handles where they are and only use the Christmas light remote to turn on and off the track power?

No, there is not. However, you can operate the Z4000 remotely using a Z4000 Remote Commander receiver and handheld, or the receiver and a DCS Remote.

Everything that you need to know about DCS is all in MTH’s “The DCS Companion 3rd Edition!" This book is available from many fine OGR advertisers and forum sponsors, or as an eBook or a printed book at MTH's web store!

Interesting Barry. I knew about the remote commander, but can you shed more light on control via the DCS remote please? 

Thanks, Rod

The Z-4000 remote receiver will work with the DCS Remote as well as the matching Z-4000 transmitter.

Rod,

You would use DCS to create Z4K Tracks and use the remote's TR screen to raise and lower voltage on the transformer. For details, refer to pages 97-101 of The DCS Companion 3rd Edition.
