When the receiver / relay is turn on and activated, what is the current drain not including any external relay?

I cannot say what the current draw is. I have no way to determine the power consumption. My train signal only draws a few amps... A relay and one 12 volt light bulb and a 12 volt bell with it's own relay.

Im not sure how much current the relay draws since i haven't measured it, but i have run the relay with a 5V standard GPIO directly without any adverse effects. This is with a Sanguinololu 1.3a PCB used in 3d printers. Essentially an Arduino.

Not sure. For me I have my home theater receiver connected to it and it turns off other devices. Check and see if there is a minimum load that has to be on the control socket. It is sensing the change in current

Here is a link to the DataSheet for the Relays themselves: http://www.oddwires.com/content/songlesrdrelay.pdf

Relays do not generate heat based on load (unlike as transistors or solid state relays, which do) so heat sinks would be ineffective. Overloaded relays fail due to electrical arcing at the contacts, which sometimes causes them to weld and get stuck - this is why the rating should never be exceeded. Also, keep in mind this is the rating for the relay component only - I personally would avoid putting a full 10 Amps through the small screw-terminals and PCB traces of this board.

Mine is plugged in all the time and seems to know when to stop and keep from overcharging. I have it attached to my receiver with velcro.

Happened to mine that is just over a month old. APC is sending a replacement at no charge. Hopefully there is a way to upgrade the relay if this happens after I'm out of the 5-year warranty period.

I have no idea. But I do no that when energized its just a one way switch. When no power is sent to it it defaults to its de energized position.

You might want to check the relay for proper connection. I had the same problem at first and that's what it was for me

It is normal, it's just telling you its receiving power. Mine does it too and nothing has gone wrong.

Plugged it into a regular wall outlet, which has other equipment on it, ie lights, fan and it has not been an issue. I use 20 amp breakers.

The ST01, ST01A and ST01K are battery operated timers. The relay is either 100% ON or OFF, no solid state switching that may `leak' current. Also, because of the battery, there is no power stealing.

I don't have an answer for you. My guess is your unit is "fried". I had two friends who had surge protector power strips, not Sidesocket, catch fire. I'm glad they were home!

No. None I can notice. This is the best ir relay, get it. I returned 2 before funding this gen and bought 3. Well worth the slight extra cost.

With US plug just plug into socket and it is on. Then when finished unplug from socket.

I didn't have any issue with the power, though I used a power condition unit to regulate the incoming AC power to provide constant good power in. I would hear some clicking sound from time to time, but the receiver working just fine. Hope this will help.

It has a reverse polarity prevention relay. If the battery being jumped is completely dead, it won't trip the relay to pass the current from the internal battery. It is a bad design
