That was it! I hooked up a button to the S_Off, and it worked wonderfully! 

The documentation doesn't make that point very clear, and it may help to make that point more clear.

Just to confirm, I only have the switch hooked up to S_Off not S_On. Does it matter?

Yes, I can see the voltage drop after the switch is thrown. When putting a steel plate below the magnet, and activating it, I have an audible "click", but no holding force.

Hey buddy,

So I'm seeing the voltage increase across the cap when I depress the button. However, when I do the < 1s push of the button to activate the magnet it does not turn on.
