    I would take and feed the 18v power that you have and use that for the switch machines and bypass anything else you have in-between. You can do this without fuses for the test. (you can go without fuses period but just understand the potential risk)
  14. Rayman4449
    Yes good idea, try the main power supply. If that works you have your answer and honestly you could just go with that (assuming the switch machines sound ok). If you end up using the main power supply, I would add something like a 3amp fuse inline from the power supply to the main wire to the switches just in case there is a failure or something.
  15. Rayman4449
    Is your power supply 12v(noted first) or 13.75v? If the power supply is labeled as 12v then figure it is 12v. If you are measuring 13.75v with a volt meter then that is likely under no-load. If 12v then I can see that being low enough to cause the switch machines to fire intermittently. The 1.75amp is plenty sufficient. Are you using an AC or DC power supply for the switches?
  16. Rayman4449
    Hi there, welcome My guess is the power supply either doesnt have enough voltage and/or not enough amperage output. I believe the recommended voltage range for the LGB switches is 15-18v. Consider trying a power supply with a bit more voltage and ensure it has say 1 to 2amps worth of power output. What is the amp rating of the power supply that you have? Raymond
