Yet another topic about Cobalt point motors

[Neil90]

Hello, after a few years away from the hobby-

 

Despite my best efforts to understand what other advice has been offered on this forum, I am having problems with my Cobalt IP analogue point motors. I have wired it and I am not getting a tap of a response out of the motor. I've tried it in various configurations and still nothing.

 

I am powering the motors by a 12v supply/wall plug and using DC control for the points. I have a DPDT switch.

 

These same parts worked three years ago reliably and they've been stored in dry/mild conditions.

 

Looking at the switch side, what wire needs to go in which port?

Where does the switch fit into the wiring?

 

Thank you.

Success, well with one point so far. I'll scale it up tomorrow when I have time. I have seen that sheet before and for some reason I couldn't make head nor tail of it.

 

Thank you. I may be back tomorrow if I run into further electrical problems!

 

I'll have a beer to celebrate.
