Hello everyone :)
Any chances somebody can spare few minutes and look at a simple diagram i'm struggling with ?
Basically I would like to use two diffrent timer switches to power a 12v liniar actuator which will rotate a solar panel back and forth .
One switch will have the output polarity swapped so the actuator will move in aposit direction
the problem might accur if both timers will ( somehow ) be on at the same time - that will result in a short circuit , The diagram I have attached explains everything
If somebody can sugest a solution that will be much apreciatted !
I'm a newbie with very basic electronic knowledge
Thank you !
Thanks for your reply!
I will need to read a bit about relays as have a very little idea
Thanks again
Most relays can be connected in either of 2 configuration, NC (normally closed) or NO (normally open), so by wiring a relay in series with switch one in NC, power will only flow while the relay is energized, if power is cut, than the relay is de-energized cutting the circuit.....I think that may work, but I don't profess to be a pro, I found your post looking for help for my self.
Thinking it through, you probably want to wire it in a normally open config. If power is lost, the relay will default to the normal position of "open".

PermalinkMaybe connect a relay in series with switch one that is set to NC, or normally closed, if there is a short circuits, the relay will than be set to OPEN preventing the short?...Just bought 10 SDR-5V relays for $6-7...
