There isn't a shortage of S-levers if you order direct from DCC Concepts in the UK (I know they have plenty in stock)

 

Cheers,

I was at their Settle showroom on Sunday to pick up the other parts and they were awaiting new stock so they must have had a run!

The plan is to use a good quality plug in power supply bought from the likes of Maplins. The key word to look for is regulated. I have done my initial tests using a power supply rated at 13.8v (a typical laptop supply)

 

The new unit will be set to 15vDC, it will also power the Alpha switch boards. They are marked at 12v, but will quite happily work with 15v

 

I'm hoping that the end of the week will see me doing some test connections between the various bits of kit, that I can photograph. Hopefully, it will show some of  the "building blocks" of the Alpha system.

 

Cheers,

Mick

I am hoping to have my rig together his weekend, I picked up a 15v power source from Marlin yesterday. The set up will be sniffer to accessory bus with four ip digitals and the cobalt Alpha board using four S-levers. There seems to be a bit of a shortage on S-levers at the moment so I only have the one for moment but it will get it up and running!

Hi Mick

Can I ask what you're using as the power source for your Alpha Sniffer please, I've just picked up the latter with an Alpha main unit to make up my own accessory bus, initially controlling four ip digitals through S-switches.
