Hi VE1BLL, Thank you for your thread.
I don't think the wire tension variations will be a problem since the wire will pass through a loop at the end of the switch lever. The only possible way to trigger the circuit should be by wire breakage.
The key-operated bypass I think it's absolutely...
Hello,
Thank you all for your answers. Attached is the circuit diagram I came up with. As a I told you before I don't know much about electric circuits, but my idea it to have everything ready for the electrician to come in and hook things up.
The relay and the lever micro switch (to work as...
Wow, thank you so much for all you inputs. I certainly like the idea of the tension sensor using a micro switch, a relay and an AC adapter plugged to the wall. It will ease the electrical connections too.
I'll go from here for now...thx
Hello, I'm a wire-knitting machine operator with very little knowledge on circuits. I want to install a system on each one of the machines so that when one of the wires feeding the machine breaks the machine shuts down.
My idea is to install a low voltage circuit that is closed with the wire...
