*** Hi
Yes, its simple. The Seep point motor has a coil impedance of 3.75 ohms. That means at 15 volts, it needs a momentary peak of 4 amps.
The uncontrolled output of an H&M 2000 is simply not powerful enough to do the job properly.
Two simple suggestions.
Find an unused laptop computer power supply and use that. It will give appx 18 volts DC at about 5 amps. It should work perfectly (cut off the plug that usually goes into the Laptop, the two wires can then be used for the point motor)
Buy a Capacitor discharge unit. This stores power and releases it as a burst when needed. It can be connected to the H&M
A third possibility: If you want added functionality and added panel lights, use MASTERswitch. If you so a search, you will find several MRF threads explaining it and its advantages/uses (You will still need a good solid power supply as per the laptop etc). Many of the list members use this product.
