I have about twenty points on the main part of my layout & will probably have another ten or so on my terminus. They are fitted with both Peco & Seep motors.I will be using the Masterswitch as it will be very suitable for what I want. Richard is very kindly helping me with my wiring diagrams.
The reason I brought up about using the provided diodes was because the information on their use comes on an extra instruction sheet. I used a couple of Masterswitches Plus that came from a friend & did not contain the extra instructions. I wanted to change two point motors at once.I blew two switches before I opened a new pack & discovered the diode instructions. Using the provided diodes my test panel worked very well.

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.

Hi all
Just had a delivery of the V2 Masterswitch,
so impressed with it that it has given me a problem. I have already wired one part of the layout and the fact that it took me nearly a week to do it, do I scupper all that work
and fit it out with masterswitches or leave it and regret it later.

Have you contacted Richard ? He might be able to throw some light on the problem.

Only you know how hard you're going to kick yourself later if you don't do it.

*** if the coils are getting hot, then the processor has been damaged. it could be caused by a couple of reasons.

The goof proof warranty is good though - I am happy to replace any units that exhibit this problem. PM me or even better email me directly please and I can arrange it.

regards

Richard
