| Jul 23, 2018 at 17:20 | comment | added | D.A.S. | What goes up and down as the motor rotates CW and CCW? Is there gravity load to force rotation? gear reduction, or some brake? Just asking in case you need to reconsider this design. Surge currents need to be considered. | |
| Jul 23, 2018 at 17:16 | comment | added | Maple | "I then placed a diode between the two motor leads." Now, that would blow either a fuse or a diode. What does "to actuators" mean? I thought you have only one motor. How do you use rocker switch? Is it to simulate those "alarm outputs"? Because outputs marked with (-) and you connect rocker switch to 12V. Also rocker switch is definitely not "momentary". It would really help if you show more of your circuit. | |

| Jul 23, 2018 at 15:44 | comment | added | Andy aka | Maybe you need something like this: electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/149885/…. Your relay pin diagrams are pretty confusing, try simpler representative contact symbols. | |
| Jul 23, 2018 at 15:43 | comment | added | Simon B | Your diagrams just show the pin numbers on the relays, but we can't tell from that which pin is which. | |
| Jul 23, 2018 at 15:43 | comment | added | Peter Bennett | Your circuit would be much easier to understand if you used normal relay symbols that clearly show the relay coil and contact arrangement, rather than those boxes with cryptic numbers for the terminals. Also, show the motor and diode connections. | |
