Pneumatic Problems

[Spiders]

So we have all the pnuematics set up correctly running 60 on the regulater and 115 (?) on the pressure switch before it stops, but the pneumatic wont extend, the double solenoid is connected to the spikes with fwd and rev on each but is not working?? not even the manual buttons work! whats wrong?

[seanl]

did you wire the solenoid by putting the
2 black together which goes into the breaker panel
wiring the 2 red wires with diodes going to the relay?

...? um no lemme try

[Spiders]

so the black go to the 20 amp breaker and the red each have there own spike?

[seanl]

2 blacks go to ground on the breaker panel. and the 2 reds go to the spike with a diode to the m+ and m- on the spike.

[Spiders]

we dont have any diodes, do we have to have them?

[seanl]

im not sure on this but... i think you can have the black and red going to 2 different spikes or.. if you have any extra led u can use those(light emitting DIODE )

[Spiders]

its like this atm

[Spiders]

nvm it corrupted

[seanl]

i cant really tell anything from that pic

[Spiders]

is the magnetic switch have to be on there also?

[Spiders]

here is another, the red are coming from the dble soliniod

Diodes have not been required on Spikes for several years. You should have the two blacks running to the ground on your circuit breaker, a red to M+, and a red to M-. Of bigger concern here, though, is that your solenoids aren't even switching manually... hopefully someone with more pneumatics expertise than I can offer some insight.

[Spiders]

so the two reds are goin to one spike then?

[Spiders]

dang we are really confused on these lol
