Good afternoon fellow model railroaders.
My DCS51 is flashing the letter H and it's also running from left to right, I haven't turned it on in several days,this started to happen as soon as I connected it today. Please anyone who knows could you please explain what is causing this and what can I do.

Input overvoltage: A walking "H" occurs when the input power to the DCS51 causes the internal voltage level to exceed about 16.9V DC. The DCS51 is designed to operate with DC input power only, off a 12V battery or with a PS314 power supply. These are configured to be below this upper voltage limit. Note if you use an AC input supply such as a PS315 or PS515 you will likely see this error message, and the DCS51 will not allow track power to be turned on to protect equipment on the layout

Sounds like the power supply is faulty, or if you're using an adjustable one maybe it's in the wrong setting. |
