Soft Start Module Power Up

[hongrn]

All,

This is the power soft start module I'm using for my Sure 250W amp. The module works fine, but comes with a tact switch, so basically, after I power up the main line, I have to hit the tact switch to trigger the module and start the current flow. I don't want to have a second switch, so I tried to connect the tact switch pins together to see if it will turn the module on on power up, but it didn't. So the sequence is power switch, tact switch, and amp goes on. Anyway to automate this whole thing with just one switch? Thanks.

I'm guessing (by seeing two relays) the "tact" switch is the front panel ON/Standby switch.

The other switch is the main ON/OFF and could be permanently ON and fitted to the back panel.

I described, in another Thread, such an arrangement some hours before you posted

The problem is that I've already cut into the faceplate and installed the main power switch. Replacing it with the tact switch will leave ugly gaps. So no way to trigger the module without a physical device? Thanks Andrew.

Rewire the fitted switch as the Standby/ON
Fit another permanently ON switch on the back panel.
or
Don't fit a main ON/OFF switch and just pull the IEC plug whenever you want to power down.
