RE: AM12U and Low Energy Bulbs

["Ian B" <Ian@xxxxxxx>]

Brian Reynolds and myself looked at this with Brian doing the surgery. The
essence of this was that the diagrams we had were for the US model units
and
bore little resemblance to the ones we had. Neither of us felt like tracing
the unit and producing a circuit diagram to find the current sense section.

We gave up. As far as I know Brian took it no further

Hi guys, my second on topic post.

I been though the archive to try and resolve this and have come unstuck.

I have several of the home base Appliance Modules (AM12U). What is
confusing me is that with low energy bulbs plugged into them they
sometimes flash dimly when the relay is off.

Having seen a thread about a led that stayed on I followed it and have
cut the leg of D5. Which I think is the correct diode to remove local
current sense. However having done this the bulb still flashes and the
unit still operators correctly.

Can anyone give me an idea as to what is going on. I did cut the return
lead going to the output of the relay, but that stopped the unit from
operating correctly.


Thanks In advance for your support.

I love reading this group it has had me on the floor on more than one
occasion.

Regards,

Paul
