I have a 12v power supply operating two solenoids going through a g540. After about two months the solenoids stopped working. Sent it to Gecko and there was a power surge that blew the board. So now I am wondering what can I put between the power supply and the g540 to ensure I do not blow it again? I am looking for a recommendation. Thanks in advance. Dan  |

| Do you have reverse EMF diodes across the coils? If not this could be the cause. Al.
