My electrical skills are basically trail n' error until something works :-). With that in mind, I was wondering if anyone could help me figure out why this isn't working. I'm trying to connect a 3/8" solenoid valve up to my co2 scrubber. I bought one of the DV24 to Bare Wire accessories and was planning on powering it through one of the 24VDC Accesory ports on my Energy Bar.
When I turn on the port that powers the solenoid I here a 'click' on the solenoid but then the whole Apex system shuts off and restarts. Not sure what I'm doing wrong, or maybe the solenoid isn't going to work. Any suggestions?
I purchased the 12VDC version of this solenoid...https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B013LM4RE8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The solenoid has a blue and yellow wires, while the Apex cable has red and black. I tried both direction. One didn't work at all. But the other direction activate
d the solenoid for a milisceond before shutting of the Apex. So I'm wondering if the solenoid just isn't compatible?
