Default Looking for "how to" for nitrous activation & timing pull led light

I'd like to add small led lights in the guage pod that runs in conjuction with the HSW MicroEDGE & LNC-002 units. I want a light to come on when the MicroEDGE says "spray" & a light when the timing pull is activated. Anyone wire up a setup like this?

Not sure about using one light for both..... how about running the power supply wire for the "Spray" light from the power wire on the n2o solenoid?? when the solenoid gets power, so will the light. as far the timing, i just had my timing pull activate when i activated my kit. what method are you using to pull timing and how does it activate??

Here is how mine is wired for LED when Spraying, the timing pulling I use COS 5 so its just a rocker switch.

Marked Pillar LED far right under the purge Noid.




LEDs are right from Radio Shack.

With my Microedge+. When I connected my LED light to the solenoid power side(87) of the relay, the solenoid gets power as soon as I arm the system. Thus lighting up the LED. I just want it to light up when it actually sprays.

do you have the power supply for the relay running to pin 87 or pin 30. You want the light to be after the switched side... but from the way you posted the relay closes when you arm the system?

Im not exactly sure how the microedge is intended to operate but since you say your relay is closing when you arm the system im going to assume thats providing the 12+ volts and the microedge is switching the ground side of the circuit? If thats the case you just need to give the light positive side power then hook the ground up to the microedge if that is what is switching ground.

If this isnt right post up more details of your wiring so we can help more..

I second that notion. Looked at my diagrams an looks like micro edge switches the ground side. Seems like all you do is hook up light with ground side being switched by the micro edge.

Yep run the switch 12v from the arm switch panel and then splice into the Microedge wire that runs to the noid relay. THink I'll do this too.

I'm using the LNC-002 for timing pull. I'm thinking of running a wire off the orange activation wire from that device to an led light which is tapped into the power wire to the NOS selenoid.

That got my LED working now when I spray. This is with the Microedge +. Thanks
