   Thanks for the reply. I was considering complete units (like eg url   
   below (*)), which differ in operation. They take a pulse on a single   
   logic-level input, and flip-flop between states: my query is how to   
   reset from a random state to the power-up state.   
      
   The one you reference uses either reverse polarity or a 2nd coil to flip   
   and flop.

   (No, I'd not pay that sort of price :-) )
