Hey the12volt,

I just wanted to say thank you very much for the diagrams! The last one worked perfect for controlling the actuators from the remote and the switch.

The only problem now is the extended pulse module did not activate the actuators on arm. The LED in the module and my test light turn on when I arm, but the actuators did nothing. Also, each time I moved the actuators down, I had to wait the 5 second delay until I could go up. No big deal for now. It's a luxury I will address later.

Thanks again!

Daren

Hi Daren, do you have a positive or negative output from the extended pulse module? In my diagram, I'm assuming you have a negative output. If you have a positive output, you can simply add another relay to solve your problem.

BTW, you're welcome, glad I could help.

You're right. The test light was grounded, so it's a positive output. Any chance I could see that in picture format?

Thanks,

Daren

Thanks!

Will I still have to wait for 5 seconds (extended pulse setting) after pressing down before I can go back up? If so, is there a workaround?

Hi Daren, you're welcome. Please explain exactly when you get this 5 second delay and does it exist when you use the switch, door lock output, or channel 4 and/or 5?

The delay is the Extended Pulse Module's output. It is set to hold it's ouput on for about 5 seconds. This is so when I arm the alarm, the module will lower the actuators (for about 5 seconds).

I noticed when I had it hooked up the other day, I had to wait for the 5 second duration (after I moved them down) before I could push them back up. During this 5 second wait, the extended pulse module's LED was lit up. So, the ext pulse module is kinda interfering with the switch and remote operation. Does that make more sense?

Hi Daren, yes, I see what's happening. The only work around would be to add another relay activated by the switch and channel 5 to interupt the extended pulse module's output to allow you to raise the actuators immediately after you've activated the module.

I hate to ask...

Diagram?

Am I a pain or what? I owe you!
