    The "source unit" is always the unit address...
    The "device number" is NOT the always same as the unit address.

    Are you 100% sure that unit address 151 is the DTSI, because if it's saying the source unit is 0 then that's unit address 0.

    100% sure it is/was Address 151... It scans as that in Toolkit even though I can't actually open it to edit as it gives a network error.

    As I said using Diagnostics I turned on Local SAL on and it started sending the correct source unit again.

    You should only have 1 burden turned on and only on the unit address 001.
    I don't think toolkit should even let you turn the burden on at another unit address.
    Also at least one clock on the network, 3 recommended for redundancy.
    My apologies if you already knew that.
    I wonder what Toolkit diagnostic says about the number of burdens when run?

    This is a bit confusing, I had to reread this thread a few times.

    But as per AshleyW's post these settings are being changed via Dignostics - "Set Mode of other PCI", not toolkit.

    See screenshot.

    Yes I'm across the burden and clock requirements.

    Pretty sure Toolkit diagnostics was not reporting these burdens, but my tinkering seems to busted things. Toolkit won't scan. Although everything else seems to be operating fine.:mad:

    Just to let you know these 5104 input units can become faulty. I was told by C-BUS distributor that they have 2 layers of logic in them and it is a known issue that one of the layers just stops working and while you can do some diagnostics and see the unit with toolkit, the temperature readings will not be coming. I have 3 of these faulty units in my hand they are out of warranty and Clipsal should replace them free of charge because it is just a perfect example of poor engineering.
