Please take a look at the attached diagram. The manual rocker switch was hooked up and worked fine. When I added the dual relay circuit (for remote control) the fuse at the switch would blow when I pressed up or down on the switch.

I can have either remote control or manual control, but not both at the same time. Looking at the diagram, why is this happening and how can I fix it so both methods can get along?

The pulse stretcher is not actually hooked up yet.

Thanks,

Daren

Hi eloshdesign, the fix is simple, you need to cut each lead from the switch to the actuator and connect 87a to the switch side of the respective actuator lead and connect 30 to the motor side of the respective actuator lead.

BTW, if you need me to draw a diagram of the workling circuit, just let me know.

I would love a diagram. Could you please do one up for me?

Thanks,

I read it again today…it's much clearer now.

Note to self: Do not try to figure out electronic circuits AFTER the neighbors come over for drinks.

Thanks!

Thanks for the diagram.

I wired it just like you have it in the above diagram, but the actuators don't move via the alarm remote. The manual switch works and the 30's light up my test light via the alarm remote (when the test light is grounded to the chassis). Are the actuators not getting ground somehow when activated vis the remote?

Thanks

Hi eloshddesign, measure resistance to ground on each actuator lead at the actuators. If they are not resting at ground with nothing activated, then I'd suggest rewiring your switch so the actuators do rest at ground or even wire the switch to activate the coils of the relays to control the actuators.

Would it be possible to do another diagram that shows the above options? It's a little unclear to me about "resting at ground". Does that mean the switch needs to grounded all the time?

Thanks

Here's a diagram showing the switch activatiing the coils of the relays to control the actuators.
