Hello, I have a 12x8in flag that I would like to be able to move down to half staff and up to full staff and using a 12v motor.

Thanks.

To actuators = to the motor that will raise or lower your mast.

Alarm lock output needs to go to a momentary switch and the other side of that switch is to be grounded.

Same for Alarm unlock output.

I just noticed you said 8 inch by 12 inch. You may be able to get away with a toggle switch.

Look at my drawing on the first page of this topic.
