Hey Budman,
The relay you are trying to use,should be a contactor and not a relay switch. The contactor you need has a built in coil.The relay you were wired too,had to much current.Not sure about the digital timer. I know the Intermatic would handle the job!If your power went out you would have reset it.The digtal is the whole reason for this,I know.We can get your lights on! I had a contactor and left it on the shop table. I was gonna post some pics of it for ya.. Sorry! Dawg... I did get the info you needed.
GaGrown Reviewed by GaGrown on . DIY four light controller relay question? So I saw a link that MEDIVAX put up to build a four light controller. It sounds like a good project I'm having trouble with the relay. I've bought two now and they don't switch like they're supposed to. Has anyone built one of these and what relay did you use. Anybody, anybody? Rating: 5
