Lynx SSR4 / Re: SSR4 and 120V Solinoid
« on: August 03, 2012, 12:40:13 am »
Wow thanks for all the replies!

I understand the difference between an inductive and resistive load (even though I am not an engineer).

I am trying to compare the SSR4 with some of the commercial dimmers that have a switch to use each channel as arelay instead if dimming. (see attached)

All said I think I will give this a go. I will add  a couple light bulbs (never a bad idea when your ghoul pops up from behind a tombstone...;)

I will use them for a couple mini trees (wish I had room for a mega) in the winter season...

Thanks all!!!!

Lynx SSR4 / SSR4 and 120V Solinoid
« on: August 01, 2012, 12:00:54 am »
I am trying to acquire some hardware that will work for Halloween applications and Christmas...

Has anyone used an SSR4 (DMX version) to acivate a solinoid to drive a pneumatic cylinder?

I have read on a varity of forums about "dimmers" that do not properly activate a solinoid.

Has anyone done this with the SSR4? I think these look like a very good piece of hardware and the price per channel is very good.

I don't want to go to the trouble building some if they will not work for this application.
