Relay issues?

Post by Kungpaoshizi »

So I've got the following setup:
Main Relay 1
Expansion Relay 1
Expansion hub
RLD
Buzzer


Controller head unit is PWM.
I can't exactly find clear instructions on how to add the 2nd outlet box. It's plugged into the expansion hub, which is plugged into the main outlet box.
I tried opening it up, I saw the jumpers were set to analog and 1<>2 for the 1-3 jumpers. I changed to pwm, reassembled, can't get any outlets to turn on/off. Set jumper to 2<>3, doesn't work. Take jumper off, doesn't work.

Ideas? :(

Thanks very much!!

Check out the manual in the downloads section if you haven't already.

The analog/pwm switch doesn't matter, since the dimming ports on the expansion relay boxes don't work.

Where's the dip switches? I only see a jumper.. I've verified it works by switching everything over the to the main, but I still can't get communication to the 2nd relay... So I'm guessing I grabbed the wrong usb cable, or I need to set the jumpers, but I've already tried 1<>2 for the main and 2<>3 for the secondary.. (I guess I can try removing the jumper but I've already opened and close the darn relay box about 6 times lol)

I think when all of this is done I'm going to start making my own manuals too. That manual applies to something that's no longer made :( (I get confused easily lol)

You don't need to open the relay box. The dip switches on on the relay expansion module. If you got the new universal relay box, the dip switches are on the side of the relay box, close to the USB connector.
