I too tried a dummy run with V2's i got from Richard, and added an led i could be wrong but as the masterswitch has a resistor built in i kept the centre correct of course but wired either side as it came so to speak, it worked fine.

Slight problem with the solonoids on the motor, i have Seep PM2 ones and am using a laptop power supply wired as below ...... i have the power supply set to 18v with a SPDT sprung centre switch, the solonoids get very hot after a short while, i cant write in paint the letters on the pm2 but they are wired A .... red C .... green B ... black. is this wrongly wired for the PM2 motors ? suggestion has been made that maybe it needed a higher voltage going in to the V2.

QUOTE (Richard Johnson @ 29 Aug 2008, 04:15) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>***Upnick the schematic is basically correct but I cant say whether the actual wiring you've done is. There should be no heat generated at the coil if wired correctly and everything else OK .

If you recheck and it continues to get hot it is possible something is wrong, and we offer a fully goof proof warranty so no matter how that happened I am quite happy to send to you a new one no charge - just let me know off list if help is needed.

I'd like to use these with Seep PM2/4 motors but when i use the MS V2 with a laptop power supply after throwing the point either way the solonoids start getting very hot so if it cant be resolved or the problem found then i have 6 that are surplus to me gathering dust a waste.
