How can i use my Power control expansion?

[Amos Poh]

Dear all, i recently purchase a Power control expansion, need views on what i can control and how i can fully utilise it.
Perhaps it will be great if you can contribute by telling us what you will use to control if you have the module.

Cheers

Thanks Roberto. Besides Dosing pumps is there anything else i can use with it? Example can i use it on my ATO pump?

Yes, you should be able to handle one ATO pump at a time for ATO purposes and not continuous on.

You can also use it to power the buzzer
You would need to cut the dimming connector and splice a DC connector though.

What happens if the ATO pump and Dosing pump so happens to turn on at the same time?

You will be fine as long as you don't let them running for an extended period of time, like more than a few minutes.
If you start drawing too much juice, the chip will start heating up. If no colling is provided, it will heat up to a point of no return and it will damage the chip.
