Control Panel for Fairhaven, Lisbon and Barberton - District 2 on PM42 panel
Panel is white but picture color is distorted so that lighted L.E.D's show. See the mistake with the placement of one of the L.E.Ds?
Miniatronics 3mm Bi Polar L.E.D.'s 2 Colors Red/Green 2 legs with 470ohm limiting resistors for up to 15VDC..
Radio Shack AC Adapter Cat. No.273-1776: Output 12VDC 1000mA
Miniature DPDT (on - on) toggle switches - 6A/120VAC.
Wiring of the dpdt switch
Circuitron Tortoise Slow Motion Switch Machine 800-6000 with 8-pin connectors
European design style 8-position terminal strips connecting control panel to Tortoise # 1 & #8 tabs..
Back of panel with wiring so far.
Used Radio Shack 8-position Barrier strips to connect control panel to RS AC adapter for power.
Used 8-position Jumper strips to connect with the barrier strips.
Setup to test the L.E.D before placement that duplicates the wiring on the panel. I temporarily connected one of the wires to the Tortise, in this case yellow. Then I touched the legs of the L.E.D to the ends of the other wire to the Tortoise. See red arrow. This confirmed if the L.E.D is good and which color would display with the toggle in its present position.
