Actually, the Tortoise does NOT need constant power. Since I had 30+ momentary toggle switches from my cap. discharge system, I decided to give them a try. I have had very little problems. One or two machines had to be moved slightly or add a very small bend to the throw wire, but that was it. Without constant power, you can hear some of my Tortoises being pulled back from full throw position due to spring in closure rails. It is a small amount and power routing through the internal microswitch is maintained. Over 95% of my Tortoises have been installed without any subsequent problems. <br /> <br />Lou
