I just made the multi function relay switch and am trying to use it’s random timer to activate a motor.
The problem I’m having is that the load lights up but the motor doesn’t activate (https://i.imgur.com/rNP7zsN.jpg).
I’ve tried wiring it up like the low voltage diagram (https://www.vellemanusa.com/downloads/0/infosheet_k8015_lowvoltage.pdf), but that just has the same effect.
I’m very new to all of this and I would like to have this working by the end of March, can anyone please help?
The picture of your setup isn’t the same as shown in the diagram.
The output of this kit doesn’t produce a voltage. it only opens and closes a wire. just like a regular switch in your house.
You’ll have a wire from your power supply running to the motor. Then the other wire coming from the motor you connect to the NO or NC contact (depends on your application) of the kit and then another wire coming from the kit (COM) goes to the power supply. As shown in the diagram.
Sorry I formatted that strangely, I had meant that I had tried the diagram in a separate attempt with no luck. (https://i.imgur.com/ezVqP1d.jpg)
Also I’m not sure if this matters or not but what you said and what the diagram shows is slightly different. The diagram shows that you connect the motors 2nd wire running to the COM and a wire from the NO/NC contact over to the power supply.
I’ve tried both with no results.
Let say the positive from the battery is going to the light bulb and the negative is going to COM (Common) the Negative from the light bulb is connected to NO (Normally Open) when the relay is engaged the light bulb will turn on.
The other positive and negative from the battery to the other side of the board are just to power the circuit. see below.
Just tried with the polarity in mind, still no luck.
Maybe you should post some pictures of the top and bottom of the board and your setup
Here’s an image of the setup, top, and bottom of the board https://imgur.com/a/mGM2t.
I think the issue might be with the relay because the magnet doesn’t seem to be activating.
I fixed the relay by removing the casing and very slightly bending the plate that the magnet attracts.
Thanks for all the help!
Glad to hear it’s working
