Wiring a battle switch

*whistles innocently*

Sorry about that Alex, at the time I genuinely thought it could be used to control an actuator in an FWD-OFF-BACK arrangement but it was only a few days ago I realised that the relay of a battleswitch was just an on-off type.

Paul at Technobots might take it back, or if not, put it up in the For Sale section if you have no other need for it and someone might take it off your hands.

Again, sorry about the wrong info

Your quote posted by me includes that in RED .....where you rightly say I think youd need two.... and you could manage to control the actuator with two relay switches that worked in opposition off the same stick.
So ....It would really appear that its not your wrong info

Ahh, thank you Woody for bringing that to my attention - I didnt even notice the red! (better get my eyes checked)

In that case then, me saying I gave Alex the wrong info is incorrect, but its safe to say my information could have been interpreted as being misleading
(hope you manage to return/sell/make use of your battleswitch though)

well seems i got the wrong end of the stick there, luckily jonno says he will swap it for an electronize switcher WILL THIS WORK?????? can someone just give me a yes or no answer so there isnt any confusion.

thanks alex

An electronize electronic switch will work fine and it has a built in failsafe too. Depending on how much current you are pulling you might need to make a relay H bridge for it (which is easy - two SPCO relays and some wire) but you can probably get away with wiring your crusher direct to the electronic switch - it depends on how much current you draw.

thanks for that, if i get the actuaor i am currently thinking of it will draw 7a a full speed, so will the electronize need SPCO relays?

Electronise dual switcher should handle 10 amps.

The 48B-2Way switcher is up to 10A, the 4Way is 3A per relay. So assuming you get the 2 way switch from Jonno you will be fine.
