diggler Posted April 4, 2015 Posted April 4, 2015 I have the module installed. I can turn it on/off but the l1 does not power up all the time. It is hooked up to a exhaust fan for a bathroom. Is it a defective unit???????
paulbates Posted April 4, 2015 Posted April 4, 2015 (edited) Hi diggler Just to clarify, the led on the module responds all the time when you remotely activate the switch, but not always the fan motor? No problems turning it off, after it does turn on, it turns off every time? Paul Edited April 4, 2015 by paulbates
MustangChris04 Posted April 4, 2015 Posted April 4, 2015 Sounds like the power to your exhaust fan where the micro switch is located still has a switch connected, and when the switch is off, there is no power to the micro in/off. Make sure that the power to the micro on/off is always on by capping the line and load together in the junction box.
diggler Posted April 4, 2015 Author Posted April 4, 2015 If the fan goes on I can turn it off remotely. Led shows green when on, but if I put a test lead to the L! terminal it does not light up. The module has power and responds to commands, issue is where the fan lead connects to it does not power on.
paulbates Posted April 4, 2015 Posted April 4, 2015 Ok, thanks. It sounds defective. Where there any issues installing it electrically, it went in ok?
diggler Posted April 4, 2015 Author Posted April 4, 2015 No issues. Powered up and isy saw it right away
Teken Posted April 4, 2015 Posted April 4, 2015 (edited) I'm sorry but I had to read this like ten times and it didn't make any sense to me. 1. If you turn the fan at the (switch) does it turn on & off, Yes / No? 2. If you turn the fan from the Admin Console (ISY) does it turn on & off, Yes / No? 3. When the the exhaust fan is not on is the Micro Relay LED always lit? Yes / No? 4. Which sense wire have you used to connect to the exhaust fan? 5. Can you provide the make and model of the exhaust fan for our review. 6. Have you hard reset the Micro Relay? If not please do so and report success / failure. Edited April 4, 2015 by Teken
stusviews Posted April 4, 2015 Posted April 4, 2015 if I put a test lead to the L! terminal it does not light up. What does not light up?

diggler Posted April 5, 2015 Author Posted April 5, 2015 if I put a test lead to the L! terminal it does not light up. What does not light up?<br/> I take a 110v tester to test for voltage. Nothing lights up on tester but isy is showing on

This single device has to be the most complicated hard reset process Smartlabs has ever released! Ideals are peaceful - History is violent Edited April 5, 2015 by Teken
diggler Posted April 5, 2015 Author Posted April 5, 2015 Yeah wanted to not have a switch for the fan. Wanted it automated to go on when wife puts lights on in bathroom then stay on for 15 minutes after lights r off.
diggler Posted April 7, 2015 Author Posted April 7, 2015 Dont know what changed but it now works lol. Go figure, only issue is a loud click when it turns on. Is that the fan or module? Module is located in switch box.
Teken Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 Dont know what changed but it now works lol. Go figure, only issue is a loud click when it turns on. Is that the fan or module? Module is located in switch box. The Micro Relay makes a click but I certainly would not call it loud by any stretch of the imagination. Glad its working now even if we don't know why! I worked on a combination microwave / IR sensor for about nine hours over the week end. System indicated it was tampered and the fault would not clear. Performed a continuity check on the length of wire and all was good. Measured the EOL resistors and all values were in spec. Checked the tamper switch at the sensor was fully operational and with in spec. Went back to the distribution board and all connections, voltages, signals were solid. Replaced the sensor, board, etc yet the panel still indicated a tamper WTF?? Put back all the original sensor parts and after rebooting the alarm panel in what seemed like 9999999999999 times. It came up clear with no faults, no tamper, nothing! Sometimes its like magic and things just work / don't work.
Brian H Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 (edited) If you think that is a loud click. You have never experienced the ratchet On Off switch in an X10 module. That was one of the reasons I switched to the earlier Smarthome X10 compatible On Off modules. Edited April 7, 2015 by Brian H
B.A. Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 If you think that is a loud click. You have never experienced the ratchet On Off switch in an X10 module. That was one of the reasons I switched to the earlier Smarthome X10 compatible On Off modules. I used to be afraid to open my pantry door early in the morning out of fear that "CLUNK!" would wake everyone in the house!
