Ok. Problem
I'm going to cry if I have done a stupid mistake.
Today I tried to just wire up a test setup. Using a desk fan as a replacement still.
When everything was connected the fan didn't turn on!
I bought the SSR as recommended by fandtm666's post in the 1st page, and wired it up as per Onefella's diagram, 2nd page.
The SSR seems to be in a NO state.
I'm using a copper 9vDC @ 300ma PS for the Input source.
The SSR when the DC source is connected shows a Red LED. The Liquid Sensor lights up when my finger passes over it.
I reversed the Input side and no red LED an no Sensor Light.
I know that the 240v input is AC - so I reversed the A to the N - just to see if I wasn't going mad. Made no difference - of course!
I replaced the fan with the actual Still (thinking it might be the draw), that the SSR needs - but nothing…
Don't tell me that I should have bought (even if they exist - as I haven't even checked!), NC SSR's..?
One of those 'Why do I bother' times in my life....
I'm hoping that after buying three of these SSR's I have made real stupid mistake..
