Relay not resetting

Dienstag, 17. Juni 2014, 17:34

AQ6 Pro with pc power switch wired thru the 3 pin relay connector. I'm experiencing a problem with the relay not resetting and I need to power down the PSU for about 60 seconds for the relay to reset. Very similar to what this older AQ5 review experienced.

"We have simulated an Alarm situation on our benchtable to find even more
obvious difference between these two operation modes. So, in first case
(“controlled from data source”), we have selected “Two-point
controller” mode and choose relay as control object as well as set the
temperature to turn relay on and off. When temperature reaches “turn on
at” mark, relay activates and system shuts down immediately. However,
when temperature drops below “turn off at” value the relay does not
switch back and the system can’t be started. The solution was found
accidentally: if you turn off the power of your PC completely (switch
off the Power Supply Unit) the relay automatically switches back to its
initial state. In case you set relay through front panel you will have a
opportunity of switching it for 2 or 10 seconds whereupon it will
automatically switches back."

What can I do to get the relay to reset without needing to power down the PSU?

For your use can you set the relay to switch for 2 seconds? If so you can select that option. This is the one I use to shutdown my pc on low flow alarm. Depending on your psu this may work.
