Hi, im trying to power a 12v case fan from the receiver. I have COM bridged to neg for the case fan's black lead and red lead connected to NO. The relays "click" and stay latched, but i dont read any voltage difference across the relay or going to ground. There is continuity from com to ground. Im used to 5v trigger, AC relays from arduino projects. Does the relay remain open or simply allow a pulse? I cant figure this out... i thought the led strip, or the case fan etc, would at least power up momentarily. Battery is charged to 13.8V. Thanks in advance!
Hi Benjamin. From the information that you have provided, it seems as though you've wired up the fan into a closed loop with no voltage source. So when the relay latches and holds (and when it closes momentarily during a pulse) the fan is connected to a loop that starts at NO(red fan lead) and ends at neg/com? Might I suggest connecting the positive terminal of the battery to the red lead of the fan and the black lead of the fan to NO. The negative terminal of the battery should then be connected to com/neg. In the suggested setup I've mentioned, you're switching negative and powering the fan in a closed loop with the battery only when the latch of the relay is held. This will allow you to turn the fan on and off with a Sentry Remote or any compatible transmitter. Use the jumper to toggle between latch and pulse modes on the receiver and note that in order to switch between these modes you need to remove power from the receiver for 5 seconds (add or remove jumper) and then reconnect. When encountering no voltage in your circuits, it usually points to an open circuit somewhere, or in your case I believe there is a loop somewhere that's isolated your voltage source. I hope that this solves your issue!! Please let us know if you require any further assistance. Thank you for using our products!! Kind regards, Sentry Team.
@@sentrymartinelectronics888 hi, that was 💯 what it was! I now have it operating over multiple voltage sources for various tools and components. This was very clear and 100% the problem I had. Thanks very much for the response! Have a good one :-)
