Guest guest Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 So 5a...turn unit back on before testing...Lee..if I'm understanding your shorthand, the problem has moved to channel 11...did the issue with channel 2 clear?If so, I'd do two things:1. confirm with the seller it is a fully working controller he sold you2. give the board a good once over, especially all socketed chips, to ensure nothing popped out during shipping.

JBullard Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 If channel 2 and 11 stay on all the time, it sounds like the triacs are blown and will need to be replaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 leepad..I'd be realllly suspicious about whether you truly got a 100% working controller...if you do have bad (shorted) triacs, its not like they get damaged in shipping...unless they physically get busted due to some incredibly rough handling.But give the board a once over as mentioned...and for those of us who don't do text message speak (even when we text message), please write out your replies so we can help you as much as possible.

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 More importantly, whats the latest on your controller?Did you check the items we recommended, especially verifying the board looks ok as far as chips in sockets, no broken components?Most importantly, you need an honest answer from the seller re whether it was functioning 100%.

Max-Paul Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 If this board was mine. And the fact that I have been troubleshooting electronics all of my life. I would take a DVM and see if the gate is on or off of the two triacs (2 & 11). If not, then the traic has been popped (shorted) and will always be on. Replace triac if you dont have a DVM. This will more than likely fix the problem.If you have DVM and the gate is not on, then I would check if the opto-isolator is being turned on via the input. If it is getting a turn on / off at the input. Then is the output turning on and off. If it is always on, then replace the opto chip.If none of the above makes sense to you (aka I am speaking greek). Then send it to LOR for repair, or find someone in the UK that does know electronics.And mate, you need to work on your writing skills. Bloody hard to understand you, esp. when you start writing like your texting via a cell phone. That's fine for saying hi to your bloke, but does not bode well with technical stuff.
