relay switch cuts out frequently: Does anyone else have the problem that the relay switch overheats and cuts out quite frequently?

Yes mine does the same. I don't know what to do. I charge the battery and the light is green and all but it trips out after a few seconds and does so after that very quickly.

it has an overheat protection circuit built in inside regulator box. when there is a surge which causes heat, it cut off power automatically. after the problem is removed, temp is down, it will be back on working.

I've taken mine apart to install new switch. The wiring is pretty basic so if it's not starting there must be a bad connection. I'd suggest taking it apart and making sure there's no hair or something else causing the problem.

I have not noticed any loss using this switch. I have no actual scientific data to back up my claim, however. It is not a splitter, but a switch so the degradation should be limited to whatever is lost in the actual circuitry inside the switch.

Thats weird, i'm not sure, I have had a few different issues that might be cable related... just flickering out and back in. Also sometimes after being on too long... it will cut out then I have to leave it off for a bit and turn it back on maybe overheating. I have not seen this issue yet, I would change the cable, if not that probably RMA.

I never had that problem, it worked well for me. There might be a problem with the switch.

This should not happen and has not occurred with my heater at all. In addition, my daughter has the same exact unit at her home and this has never occurred with hers either. Something must be wrong with the cord itself on your unit. Either that or something is wrong with the circuit you have it plugged into. I am not, however, an electrician. All I do know is that your circuit breaker should not be tripping.

I had the same problem and was told by their customer service that a bad batch of thermostats was installed in some units. They are sending me a new thermostat, which i guess i will install myself. I also have had two issues now with the on/off switch not working properly. I am sorry I bought this unit.

Yes, I have the same problem. I have learned to work around it. I make sure that I turn the main switch off, when I am not using the fan. I will check the channel switch, as suggested by other users. It is a very good fan, I would not replace it.

May just be overheating like mine was. After I blew dust out of the fan and back compartment of tv, I taped blue switch that is inside lamp compartment cover down and haven't had any problems since. There is a you tube video showing this process

I had the same problem. The insulation on the wiring did not keep it cool causing it to melt then the wiring melted together. I cut out the connector and hard wired the positive to positive and negative to negative seperately and insulated them very heavily. I am now keeping "ALL" the wiring away from eachother to make sure that never happens again. I hand-made a bracket to keep the controler away from the battery to eliminate some of the heat problem and it seems to be working. Good luck.

Juan, I haven't had any problems with mine except on occasion it has indicated two circuit breakers as noted in the comment from E. Allen. This hasn't been a problem for me as I am not doing commercial work any more but friends/family/ volunteer type work. I would most likely buy this tester again. It beats the one I used when I was in business but that one was old technology. I think you will be satisfied with it.

I have the same issue with one of my switches, it is ON all the time, have seen similar comments, it appears to be a common failure with these units. With that said I view it as an inconvenience not a safety issue. The output is only 12V and as long as each individual output is protected (as described) then each one should trip if it gets shorted or overloaded. However to be safe I would unplug the whole unit anytime you mess with the output wiring.

I have not come across that problem yet. we have had no reason to shut it down, and have had no loss of power due to outages. when this was installed for me in a large walk-in cooler, wine cooler, it took one month with the manufacturer to be up and running. Your best bet is to just email to the manufacturer. I worked with them on and off for a month making adjustments and they were absolutely phenomenal to work with.I think the coolbot was an excellent investment. you just need the right system to pair it with. again manufacture of was key with that.

William, First I would check the ground connection, if you still have a problem I think I would temporarily by-pass the switch.I have not had any problem with the one we purchased , really pleased with it. I have had a fuse that looks good visually have a loose connection inside and cause a problem. Good Luck .

Sorry, I've never had THAT problem. Do have the problem of the unit working about only 80% of the time.
