+olaggie01 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Hi,I have an RO/DI solenoid tied into my RO/DI unit which opens (NC solenoid) when the lower switch is activated and closes when the upper switch is activated. I am having trouble with the installation and I'm wondering if I have my wires crossed. Any help is appreciated.SolenoidSwitchesRelay inside power boxWires into the solenoid are as follows: Red coming into box on bottom is from the lower switch, Green coming into box is upper switch. Then there is a power (black, white, green). And white/black leading to the solenoid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Capt. Obvious Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 sure ...I get off here in a few in the meantime: how many pins does the relay have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+olaggie01 Posted April 18, 2013 Author Share Posted April 18, 2013 4 pins. Wires are plugged into 1, 4, 5, and 6. Here is what is connected to the relay: pin 1: Black from 12v source / Green from top switch pin 4: White from solenoid / Red from bottom switch pin 5: Green from top switch / Red from bottom switch pin 6: Black from solenoid / Red from 12v source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+olaggie01 Posted April 18, 2013 Author Share Posted April 18, 2013 It has 6 pins, but pins 2 and 3 have been cut off. Here is the relay: OMRON G4W-11123A-US-TV8 12VDC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
