I apologize in advance, but I'm pretty ignorant on wiring. I've already fried one switch solenoid and would like to avoid messing up anything else.
I'd like to wire up some switch status indicators, and I've been searching, but every circuit out there either requires two separate switches or runs on DC power. Currently, I've got my Atlas switches wired to ~16V AC with each being activated by a SPDT momentary toggle. As you'd expect, they work fine.
Since most of the nifty logic-controlled momentary-switch activated indicator circuits run off 12V DC, can Atlas switches run off 12V DC power or will this fry them? I tried running the Atlas switches off 12V DC, and they appeared to work - weakly.
If anybody's got a way to run two lights off of the 16V AC momentary setup, I'd love to hear how it's wired.
Thanks for any help...
