Thanks for the info! I will check it.

It's possible it might exceed your function output. It's hard to say without knowing the resistance across the seuthe terminals.
If you have a volt meter, switch it to Ohms. Put a lead on each side of the smoke unit terminals. Write down the number. R= reading
14/R(eading) = Amps. If this exceeds .1 amps you're exceeding your function output most likely.
You can however use a transistor circuit to solve this problem if you have the room.

I am trying to work out an issue with one of these smoke generators and the generator is wired direct to the right & left hand pickups with a micro switch to turn it on & off. Could I use the green wire( F6) to power the smoke unit? Would that be too many amps for the decoder? Also the unit sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. I think it is shot. Any way to test these? I have a Bowser unit could I just switch them?
Thanks for the input!
