Solid State Relay for 12 Volt switch cooked ??
(OP)
Hi
I am having a bit of trouble setting up an Opto22 DC60S5.
htt p://www.op to22.com/s ite/pr_rec ent.aspx?i tem=DC60S5
I simple want the relay to ground/connect a line(5V), when 12V is delivered to it.
The problem is I have assumed this to be simple,but something is wrong.
The specs are an input current of 3-32V and are rated at 5amp,the have an internal resistor of 1000ohms and do not need a diode.
I am using 2 12V 7ah(4amp) batteries to test the SSR.
The relay has 4 pin 1+,2,+3,4.
I have 1+ and 2 inline with 12 volt line that will turn on a light when current is flowing (so i can see if it is switching).
At pin 4,3+ (control as labeled on the relay)I momentarily apply 12 V.
Problem is applying 12V does nothing and it also appears that the connection between pin 1 and 2 is connected as the light comes on before i even apply 12V.
I really need some help here as this is the second brand new one I have taken out of the packet, and I cannot find a simple diagram for this use anywhere?
Cheers

If you connect other way, the internal free-wheeling diode will conduct and keep lamp lit. Regardless of control input. It isn't that simple? Is it?

I am sorry but I am finding your reply hard to understand.
RE: Solid State Relay for 12 Volt switch cooked ??
pin 2 connected to battery negative
Battery positive connected to light positive
light negative connected to 1+
control ground to 3+
control 12v to 4
I get nothing...
and if I reverse the light around the other way i get nothing
Do you have a simple diagram ??
I cannot find one on the net.
cheers

Try checking the polarity of both input and output with a DMM.
Try using a load (light bulb) with a greater current draw.
Reversing the lamp will do nothing (unless it is an LED). You may have to interchange the leads on either the input of the relay, the output of the relay or both.
Add a comma after "battery" in Gunnar's post.
respectfully

The relay was burnt out, your advice was good.
