I tested the solenoid with my laptop's power cable, which is 15 volts, 3.5 amps and it works. I hooked up a meter and the solenoid pulls about 1.15 amps. Since, I don't have a 24V power supply and my cab already has a 14V power supply for lighting that has plenty of amps, I'm thinking I might be able to get by with 14 volts. |
