Track Signal Improvements: (cont’d)
By attaching an 18 volt bulb to the output ports (red and black) of the TIU Output
Channels (Fixed or Variable) or onto the DCS Terminal Block input ports (red and
black), the track signal quality measurements will increase. The solution does not boost
the signal it simply cleans up signals reflected back into the TIU from the track. In effect,
the solution eliminates any "noise" caused by signals already present on the layout which
lower the effectiveness of any new signal produced by the TIU as commands are sent out.

The solution is only effective on layouts employing the recommended DCS wiring meth-
ods as described on the Proto-Sound web site (www.protosound2.com) or in the DCS
Operator's Manual.
