I do agree with Don FL that probably 95% of the time it is a triac. I think I have seen only a couple of the optoisolators that have gone bad including one a month ago. Also in my original post I made a mistake saying continuity between the center pin of the MOC and resistor is normal and the right pin should not have continuity to the resistor. I have them backwards, sorry.

ok, so i tried a reset on my controller, and i dont think its resetting. when i remove the jumper from j0, (looks like its on the second set of pins) and then power up the controller, the red led flashes really fast, and never stops. so i then powered off the controller, and put the jumper back on, and immediately my stuck channel came back on (around 5% to 10% power) , and the unit id is still 0C, so it didnt reset to 01... that means the entire controller DID NOT reset, correct?

No, not correct. The fast flash is normal. Unit ID will stay as is. Is the channel on without any connection to the network? Acts that way with an incandescent string attached (want to eliminate a LED/snubber issue)? Sounds like you had a bad triac...

i have tried a snubber with 47K resistor, but have not tried incan lights. so i will try a string of those tomorrow on the next reboot/test. (hopefully i will have some time to swap out the controller and i will work on it inside.  thanks for your help in troubleshooting. edit: and yes, on with NO connection to the LOR network.

ok, I got my Triac removed. Not I'm trying to get the new one in the three holes, and its almost like the three pins on the triac are too large in diameter. and will not fit in the holes. Do you make a filing tool, to either file down the pins? Or open up the holes a little more on the board?

Sounds like you need to clean up the excess solder from the triac removal. Do you have either solder wick or a "solder sucker" tool?

Same issue here one channel stuck in the on position with a new controller I bought this year. Channel was dim for some time then eventually shut off....I'll have to watch it tonight and see what happens. Is there any issue with Disabling a show immediately

no, disable immediately does just that... stops right now... gracefully allows the song to finish and then shutsdown. Last edited on Thursday December 22nd, 2011 01:58 pm by fxdwg ____________________ If I have to explain it, you wouldn't understand! |
