The new solenoids are just as god as I could hope for. They use approximate 200 mA at 12 VDC and can be activated for over 30 minutes without meltdown 🙂 The old ones destroyed themselves after just 20 sekunds!
Normally the solenoids are activated way below 1 sekund, only when a car is deslotted before one of the two reset optical switches, it can be activated for a longer periode. I my world deslotting happens so… 🙂
