Re: AD10 problem

["Tim Hawes" <timsyahoo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Rob.

I did open the back of the module up and while I was heartened to see
it wasn't full of surface mount components, it was pretty tightly
packed and firmly located within the plastic case. I didn't pull too
hard in case it's still serviceable...

I'd originally installed this in an enclosure but brought it out onto
a bench as I couldn't get it to work. I was testing it alongside an
LD11 I was having trouble with, although that does respond. But yes,
the load is ok. There's also no voltage present between the outgoing
live and neutral  when "on"

The front LED doesn't light-up when the module is forced on, should it
be lit if the module is on, regardlesss of whether a load is present
or not?

Yup, it clicks when sent an "off" signal, and/or when the slider
on
the front is moved to "0". There's no apparent response to an
"on"
though :-(

Many thanks - all comments welcome :)

Cheers,

Tim.
