55025 issue

Ok, I can't work this one out. I have a 55025 where one terminal just won't support two sets of points. It's a crossing so I want to operate both points from the same switch. No matter how I wire it, this particular port on the 55025 won't operate two at a time. It'll operate either one of the pair but as soon as I plug the second in it's like it doesn't have enough grunt to operate the pair. Occasionally one of the pair will switch but it's intermittent.

It's not a problem as I can use one of the other ports but I'm bemused why this one doesn't want to play.

Any thoughts?

As Mark says, you will need to increase the pulse time.

I have 2 point motors connected to each of the 4 channels on my LGB 55025 points(switch) decoder, as each pair of points is either a crossover, or need to operate together to set a route via a reversal chord. So I've set the duration of the pulse to 1 second with a value of 7 in the appropriate CVs, and this has worked well for me....
