DCC System Command Station only checks out 0.05V at power outlet.

[Dahlen30]

Hi, I  have just taken a E-Z Command System out of storage ( 3 years, with no betteries left in ), and am unable to get any power through the Command Station.
The centre light on the console is the only one which lights up. When I press stop on the handset, this light will flicker until stop is pressed again.
Handset speed control LED works OK, as do other handset controls, as best I can find out.
The User manual does not give me any joy, so can any-one out there please help me ?

Twist to unlock and then twist to lock the appropriate mains pins for the wall transformer.

Thanks for the response.
My wall transformer is just a commercial 16v. DC model, without any provision
for adjustment.
It seems the problem is beyond the transformer, as the exit lead tests out at 16.6v on my meter.
Any further suggestions would be appreciated.

Have you tried each output to track connector -  the 3.5mm jack and plug with screw terminal?

[Dahlen30]

Yes, I have put a meter accross both outlets.
Unfortunately result is the same 0.05V.
Thanks for the reply

Time to contact Bachmann Service Dept.

Thank you, I have done that and am awaiting a reply.

Do a factory reset of the Dynamis system.  (page 27, Dynamis User Guide).  Again check AC voltage of both outputs to track (DCC output to track is PWM DC, which is a square AC waveform)

I carried ot the factory reset, without any joy.
The green light is solid on the reciever, but no other sign of life.
