55025 issue

[NigelP]

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?

Have you tried increasing the duration of the switch pulse on that output....

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....
