Well here I go again ,with help from Inertia I now have working bow/stern thrusters(cheers Dave). But now on to my next set back ,I can not get any of the switched outlets to work . The decoder has a 12v supply, and the thrusters work with the knobs on the TX. There is a 12v output from the decoder when the RX is switched on ,but when I try the switches on the TX it will not turn of the supply.
The instructions for the decoder has this information:- the circuit board of the decoder has two wire links A and B
A closed for Robbe Futaba system
open for Graupner Nautic-Expert systems
B normally closed (memory function for latching switch positions) . You can disable the memory by disconnecting the bridge, in which case all the switch positions are momentary in action ,and the memory effect is eliminated.
Because of my limited intelligence understanding the written word ,I do not know what the statement at B means .
Do I cut the wire to get the decoder to switch or not ,or is there a fault on the decoder because there power at all the outlets.
thanks for the help
David
