Problem I have is that the receiver is always looking for the signal, and, therefore, always draining the battery. I'm using the smallest 12V I can find (MN21/23), similar to what you use in a garage door opener.
I'm using the remote to open and close a Firgelli PQ12-S actuator. Problem I have is that the receiver is always looking for the signal, and, therefore, always draining the battery. I'm using the smallest 12V I can find (MN21/23), similar to what you use in a garage door opener.How do I prevent the battery from being drained? I'm new to this, so this is causing me problems. I'm wondering, is there another type of remote I should be using?
My goal is to be able to press a button on a remote and cause an actuator to open and close without running through a million batteries every five minutes. Is this so much to ask?
