Using ALP Radio Mute and Control Functions

[ApexOnYou]

I take it the outputs have been revised on V2 to allow direct connection (negative trigger) with a standard 12v relay?

Please note the following wiring for using the Relay switch on V2 CPU's. Do not try this on the original V1 CPU's.

We discussed this before ;

The relay I have is switched by +5V TTL logic on the green wire, and draws no more than 20 mA. Works fine on a V1 CPU, although the external load I'm driving is small

Update: Midex relay is unavailable. Digi-Key has suggested this relay PB682-ND

WARNING #2
If you forgot the stand alone diode you will MELT/FRY/BLOW your CPU. Or worse if you purchase the diode and install it backward you will fry your CPU ver2. And finally if your solder breaks on your correctly installed diode mths/years later you will fry you CPU....
Bottom line for me I am using the blue wire. Good riddance to the green wire for now. Hopefully down the road ALP makes the green wire simpler/more robust to use.

or you purchase one of these

i have tried and tested this unit to switch things on and off on allert they work a treat

deano,
yes that is what I will be doing on the BLUE wire (radio mute).
Here is a Hong Kong vendor with nice chart at the bottom of the ad explaining all the connections.
I like this one better because it has screw terminals for the wires too.

Tman has found the china version 1/2 the price of the Hong Kong version, maybe the Hong Kong ships faster...

I ordered both !

deano,
on further reflection, your version has nice indicator lights....red & blue for power and switching probably.
Question, where do I get those three veritcal post PIN connectors (female) for incoming power....?

[Redmoto]

deano, yours does NOT include a timer, so I am back to Tman and my version.
