TMCC PowerMaster Not Powering Down
Posted by ToyTrainsFTW on Sunday, July 12, 2020 5:38 PM

Hello everyone!

   This is my first post on this new account! Anyways I'm having an issue with running my conventional trains with my TMCC set up.  I was able to run them before with the PowerMaster and PowerHouse set up but recently something has went wrong.  I can't power down the brick enough to cycle the E-unit on the trains. It's like the voltage wont go below 8v or so.  I tried resetting it and that didnt work, I made sure it was set to conventional mode and still no change. It seems like an electrical component on the inside has gone bad or something. With some research I found a thread from a few years ago that just said to do the stuff I mentioned above. I tested the system with a TMCC engine and when I try to power it down it still hast power going to it and I am unable to power down the track.  Any help would be appreciated, I spent a decent amount of money on the set up and would like to use it lol.

tl;dr Tmcc powermaster wont power down enough to cycle conventional trains even after resetting.

Read the manual & reset / set the "stall" voltage of your PM-1 to 0 volts using the buttons under the bottom sliding cover of the CAB-1.
