No TRIAC Output with Red TRIAC LED On:
1. Check that the TRIAC load is properly connected to the TRIAC
terminal block. (Wires must be stripped before insertion into the
terminal block and terminal block screws must be tight, clamping the
stripped wire firmly in the block.)
2. Check for AC power output between the TRIAC OUT and NEUTRAL
terminals of the TRIAC terminal block when the TRIAC LED is on.
3. Check the fuse in the F1 TRIAC fuse holder.
F1 TRIAC Fuse Open:
1. Review the section detailing the fuse installation procedure and
check the F1 TRIAC fuse for correct rating (10 or 6.3 Amps). Make
sure one of the F2 CONTROL fuses have not been installed in place
of the correct TRIAC fuse.
2. Check that the TRIAC load has been properly connected to the
TRIAC terminal block and does not draw current greater than the
rating of the F1 TRIAC fuse installed (10 Amp in USA or 6.3 Amp in
Europe/Asia).
3. Check that the TRIAC load does not draw an excessively large
surge or start up current that is beyond the capabilities of the MX001
fuse rating.
4. Check to make sure the TRIAC load is not or has not been
accidentally shorted. If a short is found, remove the short and check
for proper TRIAC operation after installing a new F1 TRIAC fuse.
(See item 5.)
5. Disconnect the normal TRIAC load and temporarily connect a 60W
light bulb in a wired test socket to the TRIAC output. If the bulb does
not light when the red LED TRIAC indicator is on after a new fuse
has been installed or if the bulb lights continuously with the red LED
TRIAC indicator off, then MX001 TRIAC circuit damage is indicated.
The Mx001 can be damaged if the TRIAC output is accidentally
shorted.
NOTE: TRIAC load refers to the device that is connected by the MX001 TRIAC.
