How do i fix this problem with my switch?

I bought a Turnigy Reciever controlled switch, and i wired my full robots system up. Thing is, whenever i test the failsafe, the switch goes to the on position and turns my solenoid on which in turn fires my ram and wont close until signal is returned. I played with the failsafe jumpers and it seems that it only failsafes the start. Ex: putting failsafe to off pos - reciever connecting to trans and dosent do anything. If I turned the trans off, the fires. I need help.

Heres the manual for the switch,

Prolly not much you can do. Buy a better switch.... You sure you got jumper set up correctly? I am assuming Mode II failsafe should be what it is.

Yeah mode 2 or 3 would do what you want depending on what solenoid your using (normally open or normally closed).

All fixed. Seems that it needed to be plugged into a port for a toggle switch. All failsafes now Smile

Oh yea, didnt think of that. Yea it was. Maybe i can disable the setting inside the system but i actually like it with a toggle.
