I just started doing HVAC controls. We hook them up before our exhaust and supply fans. I know logically how it works but I can't draw a picture. I need to fully understand controls wiring drawings to be as good as I need to be.
I am trying to use an RIB01BDC to control my fireplace with a TP-Link smart switch on the other side of. I have my 120v going from wall to smart switch, then to RIB. Neutrals are connected. With nothing else connected, I get no LED indicator on the RIB. My hope was to use the yellow and orange wires on the RIB to switch the low voltage wires for the fireplace. The fireplace was on a switch before and worked fine. Not sure where I am going wrong. Smart switch is working perfectly. RIB has 7 wires, black, white, blue, yellow, orange, white/red, white/blue. Any thoughts? 😥
@@porterdna1101 The smart switch doesn't need a load to operate though, it just switches 120V to its socket. If it works with a lamp it should be able to drive the 120V relay coil, which is white/yellow and white/black. If it was connected to white/blue it may have damaged the relay.
Hmmm... Can I use this type of relay with a 24vdc motion sensor (PIR-8) to create a control system to switch on/off a 120VAC circuit? Hope this makes sense.
Thank you, that helped. Freaking out about adding two of these to control two separate lights and a common fan in a bathroom. I have an idea now how to make it work. The 6 wires threw me, both now i know its voltage.
Thank you for breaking it down so simply. I appreciate it.
Nice show, retired 5 years now. I used RIBs everywhere.
i really appreciate these vidoes. These tutorials and explanations are priceless
this is the best video you have done, this is how it is done thanks.keep it coming
Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
You are a real instructor!
Thanks for the video. Our apprenticeship class appreciates the helpful information.
Great video! I learned exactly what I came here to see thanks!!!
Thanks. I just installed a whole house fan, and this is just what I need to control it via the home thermostat that has "fan" or "heat" options.
Thanks .. you are a great teacher... I love your videos
Thanks for making these videos you do a great job explaining the concepts! I commend your hard work!
Thank you. This is exactly the explanation I was looking for.
Love it! Thanks a lot for the information.
Thanks for this. Really helpful.
Subscribed, liked, and shared. You really caught my attention when you mentioned Arduino. 😁
Love your videos.
Functional Devices has the best and ORIGINAL RIB units!

Wow you just explained that so well thank you
Good explanation. Thank you sir
Very well explained sir, thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Already subscribed and 👍.
I would like to see it in the practice .
With a motor fan and thermostat.

did you figure it out? I'm running into the same problem with my fireplace
The Coil is NOT enough load for your "Smart Switch" to operate.

The smart switch doesn't need a load to operate though, it just switches 120V to its socket.
If it works with a lamp it should be able to drive the 120V relay coil, which is white/yellow and white/black. If it was connected to white/blue it may have damaged the relay.
Sounds like you need to use wht/yellow and wht/black for coil in series with your smart sw if using 120v...
Great stuff.
If the relay has a N.O & N.C contact w/ a common it is a SPDT switch.
Nice video, thank you!

Hope this makes sense.
what does the rid light mean? is that telling me that the switch is activated? thanks
Very good Very Good explanation
Thanks great job
I relay like the way you made this video ! 😂
Gracias
Can this relay work without doide switch
Im using them to interlock 3 unit heaters off 1 stat.
Thank You So Much
It's a single pole double throw switch/ relay. Victory 100 SPDT Enclosed Relay.

Same thing, another brand.
