1019641 Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 Have you assigned areas to the output, Are you using Wintex or from Keypad Dean Wholey NCC Dean.Wholey@Ntlworld.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whibbs Posted June 5, 2006 Author Share Posted June 5, 2006 Find out how much the relays draw to fire the coil by using a multimeter, if its over 100ma then they can't be used on the expander, only way round it is to get a smaller relay to control the main relay i will check it out and will let yuo know how i get on Have you assigned areas to the output, Are you using Wintex or from Keypad using wintex and have assigned areas?
