new question, old answers - sgtcarl1 - 02-15-2010
Well, I've looked carefully and closely, and can't find an answer....so...can anyone, (or everyone,) show/tell me how to wire an Atlas #215 controller, and an Atlas #220 connector? Sil vous pleasey?

I've only used the one with the 3 switches in line. It turns on and off 3 blocks.
2 wires come into the side from your power pack. 2 wires at the top go to each block. the switch turns off one of these wires. If you double gap your blocks, you need to wire this way. If you use common rail wiring with only a single rail gapped, you only need to run one of the wires. (I forget which one). More of these units can be bolted on the side with the bits supplied. So the unit is essentially 3 SPST switches with a common source.

I have the Atlas book on using these and there are several ways they can be wired into your system, depending on what specific tasks you're asking of them.

Okay, thanks, guys! I fnally found the CD from Atlas that has all the correct info in it! (I'm going to have to do some serious cleaning on my computer desk, one of these days...but probably won't!
