RE: Thermostat with RS232

["Julian Stuhler" <julian.stuhler@xxxxxxx>]

Er...I think we've just reached the boundaries of my electrical
knowledge! I'd assumed that some of the on-board electronics on the
control units were converting the 12vDC to the 24vAC used by the relays?

Sorry I can't be more help.

Thanks for trying though!

Yes. I understand that.

This is the bit that's confusing me. What generates the 24vAC?
