Though advertised as working on 12 volts, my remote seemed DOA until I changed power supplies to give it a higher peak voltage. The internal relay only pulls in starting at 12.8v, and is reliable at >13v. So don't count on a tightly regulated supply such as a switching supply or a stand-alone 12v battery. Unfortunately this makes it hardly useful for my project.
I have a crap-for DSL that requires the modem be cold reset from time to time. It's a gigantic pain and the teleco is NO HELP. I wired this little guy in and now I can reset the modem from two different locations in the house. Thanks a Ton AE!
I had this in an automobile 12v 7amp application working for about two weeks. I probably activated and deactivated it about 25 times before it would no longer turn off.
It seems when a load is on it doesn't want to turn off. If there is no load it works fine. I tried a load as small as 100mA and even that caused a delay issue in going off.
Maybe I just got a bad one, don't know. But I recommend using a relay with this item to reduce the load. I tried a relay with mine but the damage is done and unit still does the same thing.
Read an article on a garden train web site. I immediately contacted All Electronics who were very helpful in sending me 2. I have used 1 to control an auto relay, which in turn carries the power to my tracks. I can switch off
the system from any where around my lay out in an emergency ( a derailment etc) The second unit is still in its box. I am hoping to use it to assist in controlling a 1/24 scale vehicle I am trying fit with a small motor
The unit it a great accessory to my railway
