Walker570 Posted November 7, 2020 Report Share Posted November 7, 2020 .... I have one of those variable units for a whirly which I wish to fix to a motor driving the tail on a squirrel decoy. 12v motor and would like to have it run through a switch. Anyone here ..... i'm sure there is ,.... who could give me a wiring diagram. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walker570 Posted November 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2020 Thanks but I have a switch fitted. I need to know the wiring from battery through switch , through the variable unit to the motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been teaching myself most of it is simple stuff. The main thing I've learned on 12 volt is fit the appropriate inline fuse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had a look if you've already got the motor doing what you want then you Could tape one of these to the top of the battery connect it in line and just switch it on and off remotely from your hide. There pretty good up to 30 yds. Loads on the bay not much money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted November 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2020 Brilliant. That looks the tool to do the job. I rang Dave G because he is my normal source of this sort of information but he had not used such but that in the photo looks like it is what I'm looking for. Many thanks for the help.

Shufti Posted November 8, 2020 Report Share Posted November 8, 2020 Thats the kiddy! I rigged up a rockin magpie using the remote in the past. Stopped using it after the general license debacle! Good luck with your invention ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted November 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2020 Just ordered one. Not the cheapest but the only one I could find which guaranteed a 25m range. Might get it by next weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might get it by next weekend. Don't worry about the distance. A two core extension lead to bring it closer will sort that out. I've got one on 30 meter extension lead with an ff6 on my lofting poles. The unit is only 10 metres away and runs on and off on timer all day on a 5 amp 12 volt battery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Good shot? Posted November 9, 2020 Report Share Posted November 9, 2020 I have a length of electric fence wire tied to the Arial of the remote, draped over the hide if I want to extend the range.🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
