To turn on track power again, briefly press the button on the CS. On a TCS throttle, press the red
E-Stop button, then confirm that you want to turn on track power. Alternatively, select Menu >
Settings > Track Power > Set Power On.
● The Track LED is blinking rapidly (2 Hz).
There is a short circuit on the track output of the CS-105.
Remove the short-circuit. Check for derailed trains, incorrectly lined turnouts, reversing loop
polarity, or wiring problems, such as a locomotive bridging to an incorrectly wired
neighboring booster district.
After the short circuit is removed, the track output will be switched on automatically in a few
seconds.
If this problem occurs frequently without an apparent short circuit, increase the current limits
set under DCC System Settings > Track Output. If you’ve reached the maximum current
limits, you may need one or more auxiliary Boosters such as the B-106 for your layout.
● The Track LED is blinking slowly (once every 4 seconds).
The CS-105 has overheated and disabled power output for safety.
Once the device cools down to a moderate temperature, the power output will be enabled
automatically.
TCS has verified that under normal room temperature the CS-105 can operate at the
maximum power output for an indefinite amount of time without overheating.
If this problem occurs frequently, verify that there is sufficient air circulation around the
CS-105. Do not mount the CS-105 in an enclosed space such as in a drawer. Do not cover
the venting grills on the front or the back of the CS-105. If the device is operating in a hot
climate, we recommend mounting the CS-105 vertically on a wall, with the Auxiliary Cab
connector upwards, and at least two inches of space above and below the unit.
● The Track LED is on.
The CS-105 is providing power to the Mainline terminals.
Verify your wiring. The track should be connected to the A and B terminals on the Mainline
output (green plug).
Problem: the system has stopped responding and LED 4 is blinking in a pattern
In this condition, the system has encountered a software error.
Most crash conditions can be cleared by power cycling the system. Remove power, wait at
least 5 seconds, and reapply power. If the issue continues, or is repeatable, record the blink
pattern, and contact TCS Technical support for assistance.
Problem: there is no menu item called “DCC System Settings” in the Settings menu on the UWT
throttle.
The throttle is set to operate in WiThrottle Protocol mode. In this mode the Throttle is not
communicating directly with the TCS command station, and thus can not view or modify any
settings.
