I have a C7030 PB Pro with simple H power board and 22A power supply.

When I turn on the lane changers click and I get an 8A overload. Normally when I reset all is fine and I can carry on.

Just recently however, I purchased another straight lane changer and now it takes more than one press of the reset button to reset itself.
Also I seem to be needing to reset during the course of a race.

This is a nuisance because it interupts the racing.

I have 5 straight lane changers, 5 curved lane changers amd a pit lane on approx 80m of track.

All the lane changers are powered by the track.

Am I overloading the system?

Should I:
1) Just increase the overload value?
2) power the lane changers on their own circuit from the power supply,not going through the PB?
3) Something else?

Any advice would be appreciated.

I think I am going down the route of providing each lane changer with power from the power supply rather than through the track.

Do I have to be careful with the polarity on the changer? Can the wires go either way round (providing I disconnect the wires from the track?)

Thanks Rich, I'll give it a try.

Any comment re the polarity of the changers?

So I'll need another power supply then?
I run the pb at 14.8V

NIce one Rich

Changing to 100ms seems to have done the job.

Thanks
