Kenny,

Hook the Switch Kat "track input" to the rails, do not go through the LGB 17100.. This should solve your problem..

Kenny,

Have to agree with Scott.. If there are diodes in the LGB 17100 it can be back feeding the switch input & tripping the Switch-Kat.. If you want to trip the Switch-Kat with a magnet then I would use just reed switches with no extra circuitry.. Hope this helps..

Kenny,

To use both 17100's you will have to hook the center terminal of one 17100 to the #1 input & the other center terminal of the other 17100 to the #2 input.. You will then have to hook wires from 1 of the outside terminals on the 17100 to the ground terminal, swipe with a magnet & see if the Switch-Kat works.. If not move the wire to the other terminal & try again with the magnet.. You will have to do this on both 17100's.. If this does not work, then you may have to bi-pass the diodes..
