Think I have a problem with 2 M83s.
Both have been set to DCC (no 10 Dip switch on) when power is applied the indicator lights on the power connection flash on both units. The only information i can find is that if lights flash on both units the Red and Brown are reversed, No so in this case. checked and did a physical change over. Clues troops clues.

Unsure

and a hose pipe on the aorta

Did you connected(plugged) two m83 together and feed digital in both?
In case don´t!
Just only one m83 needs digital feed if you did connected two m83 plug into.

Try to connect just one m83 and check if there is default.

Tip...no power on allowed when you change dip switch or connect the wires!

I uncoupled the M83s and connected one unit the light flashed. connected power to the other unit the light flashed.

I coupled the units together but in the reverse order, light flashed on both units. I think they have had it,

If the red lighting is flashes normal you did connect right.
If both check lighting flashes the wires has been swapped.

I enclose an picture.
You see the wires?
It´s correct connect to the m84.
So that means the left LED flash normal.
if the wires was swapped both LED on the m84 flashes.

The wires are connected correctly, the lights on BOTH units are flashing when they should not.
