I also require a schematic to follow a circuit. I can’t follow a verbal description.
Schematics are the language of electronics.

It is very worthwhile the effort required to learn to use a CAD schematic program.

 

This one is for my shop. OK, let's stay on topic.

How is a picture of your cabinet-making tools staying "on topic"?

 

Version #2 using a CPC1706Y SSR.
Does not isolate the 6 volt trigger signal from the receiver.

IT'S NOT! So let's stay ON TOPIC! It was a picture of a cabinet I built that morning. The point of the picture was that it's easy enough to upload a picture. Even if it's a picture of a schematic on a paper napkin, one should be able to put a picture of a schematic up to support any description given. I, too, have difficulty following a verbal description. Especially when it concerns something I'm unfamiliar with. We could talk about a switch and how it's wired. But simply describing the connections to a 40 pin microcontroller is a whole other story. At least a schematic allows me to follow the dots.

I had a lot of respect for you. Lately I'm questioning that. Now, can we stay on the topic of "Solid State Latching Relay"?

Have I said something that offends you?
Sorry that I misunderstood the purpose of your picture post.

 

Being well able to visualize based on a description has served very well in several jobs, allowing a rapid understanding of the requirements for industrial machines in a shorter time and more accurately than many others, resulting in technical proposals that would satisfy all of the requirements for performance. So visualizing and describing in words is first nature with me. And a description in words is what must go into a sales letter, much more than a drawing.
So it seems I must obtain a new cad program and become skilled at using it. The program I had been using is still trapped in that computer damaged by the lightning hit a while back. THAT one was rather expensive.

Not saying you were showing disrespect, it just felt derogatory to me. Maybe I'm the one who had a misunderstanding. Either way, your willingness to apologize restores my respect. Perhaps it's because it has seemed to me that you've been aggressive toward others as well.

 

Evidently at least two folks have understood my description adequately, so that two different versions using different solid state devices, which look like they will work very well, have been posted.
So it appears that at least a few folks are able to understand, and visualize, text descriptions quite well. Not verbal, but words in actual text.

Let's not get too hasty here.
Don't take this the wrong way but the two circuits I posted had nothing to do with your description in post #6.
In fact I just read that post for the first time about 30 minutes ago.
They were designed on paper with a drawn out schematic.
It's true they are similar with respect to how they function with your described circuit.

 

All I can say is thank you for your help and the enjoyment of this thread. I don't know how much of it was tongue in cheek sarcasm, but I did laugh a little. Sorry about the schematic, sometimes we have to make do with our limitations, and in this arena I have plenty.
I will try to build both of them, as much for the learning experience as anything else. Hopefully I will be able to make one work for my project. Any pitfalls I should be concerned with? I don't know what I don't know, but I am teachable.

I guess I sometimes act a little too much like my self-assigned title.

Not if you use the components as listed.
Obviously circuit #2 in post 23 is simpler if the receiver does not need to be isolated.
Speaking of, what type of receiver is this trigger signal coming from?

I am using a
Garmin PRO Control 2 Remote Launch System. It works well with the setup I have so far but I am trying to learn and understand a little more about electronics, and for whatever reason I am obsessed with finding a way to do this "simple" circuit.
So I really appreciate the help.
Is there a need to isolate the the trigger signal? What might be a cause if I don't?

 

Not sure right now, let me look into this receiver

 

Evolution of my attemps.

 

If I wanted to add a simple push button override for the times when the receiver is out of battery life, what would you suggest?
Currently I just jump power from the outlet side of the fuse to the coil on the holding relay.

 

That last one is definitely more professional looking.
I don't see a need for isolation after checking out that receiver.

Several ways but I would connect the switch like this:

You make this stuff seem so easy, thank you.

That's certainly no surprise.
