The Festos, in addition to needing 12 Volts, need 30 PSI to kick over as they are pneumatically controlled.
Thus, if you are trying to start with the Festos active and no pressure in your tanks (plumbed to keep your cylinder retracted when the festos are active) then you will get that reaction.
My suggestion is to charge the tanks first (before starting the RC).
