RMweb Premium Stevie Posted August 25, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 25, 2020 Hi all, having just recently acquired the aforementioned, can you have two MP1's on one channel on the 4018. ie two opposite points on a junction? I know the current draw on the MP1 but can't find a quoted figure for the 4018? this would save me having to buy another 4018 . Steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIMorrison Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 In theory, yes, in practice the draw on the DR4018 is 3A total with any one channel at 2A IIRC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingEdwardII Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Steve, Yes, a single channel on the DR4018 can drive two MP1s. I have done this for several pairs of points on my layout that must be switched together, like crossovers. It works perfectly, well within the current draw of a single channel. Mike.
