If I connected an LED to the screw block, shouldn't it light when the PE Cell's Green LED turned on? (In other words, PEC triggers a closed circuit)

You should be able to tell exactly what is going on with your voltmeter, either measuring voltage or resistance. Evidently you tried that, so it is not obvious what is wrong. I assume that you have applied a voltage properly to the unit. I doubt that the unit is at fault.

it depends on how it's wired. The NO and NC contacts connect to the common. When it senses light it will switch the common from the NC to NO. The LED tells you when it's switched. If want your LED on when light connect the battery and LED through the Com and NO.

I'm not sure. Usually, the light is orange, then turns green once the battery is charged. The contacts are particular, but if they're lined up, and you're still having the same issue, I would think there was a problem with either the battery or the charger.

When the magnets are next to each other the circuit is open. Take the magnets away and the circuit closes. So this paired with a power supply and a light would be sufficient.

The label must have changed. Mine had +/- Load. I hooked up the +from the P/S to the +, the - from P/S and LED light (load) both connect to the - on the switch. The + from the LED to the Load. My assumption would be Line/Negative/Load. You should contact the seller to be sure. Good luck!

my 4 in 1 heater stopped working every time I did not see the light in front of heater on that mean power switch on the back disconnect.but after i change the new led switch .Now I turn it on light on turn it off light off and about the pco cell i don not know.

I have this accessory connected to a cigarette lighter socket and the CITEK MUS 4.3 charging the battery. After 10 days on "float" the MUS 4.3 goes into "pulse" to maintain the the battery at 95-100% capacity, according to the manual. During the "float" step the LED indicator is blinking all the time green. When the charger is in "pulse" the LED changes from green to yellow and back to green. I have not measured the frequency of this alternation. My interpretation of these observations is that the LED is yellow when battery capacity drops below 95% and green when it is above 95%. Bottom line: it works beautifully. My van started normally after more than 5 months inactive in the garage.

I don't know---my unit when taken apart is a simple DC power supply connected to +/_ terminals not very complicated. LED shows conductivity of liquid so try across electrodes and see if led stays same brightness. It would be an experiment but may work.

My light (green) stay's on when charging. It goes off when complete. Mine only blinks when the battery is low. It sounds as if your battery might be faulty. I never use tech support on anything. They usually know less about their products than we do!

It does have one green LED that turns on when the device is turned on. We taped a piece of dark construction paper over it, which did the trick. Hope this helps.

It's a bit late to answer this but I had that problem too. I plugged the wrong end of the strip into the wire that comes out of the control module. try unplugging the strip from the wire and plugging in the wire to the other end of the LED strip. fixed it for me.

I am going to guess here, because the problem sounds electronic in nature. I would say inside the timing light is a circuit board with one or more IC chips on it. When you press on the advance/retard button a pulse goes to a IC counter chip. Then an output from the chip goes to the digital display where a numeric value is shown for you to see. Seems like if the advance of the pulsing light is working, but no digital read out on the LCD screen, you either have a bad connection on the pc board or a bad LCD or a connection there of. Good luck

you need to add one on the positive lead. the diodes are polar so make sure the white line is on the load side.

I used mine connected to the cigarette lighter and my understanding is that the blue LED illuminates when the solar panel is exposed to the sun and therefore producing power...that is indeed the way it worked for me...until the entire unit failed within a year and too late to return for a refund. Maybe I got a bad one, maybe it's a poorly-made unit. I have not since tried to find a replacement but probably should.

The way to check it with a meter, is for continuity, not voltage. Put your meter on OHMS and check between the battery neg post and where the cable attached. You will see it reads "Open" when the knob is turned clockwise to loosen it. When tightened the connection is completed and you will have continuity "0". Proven that no electricity will flow with the knob loosened.

You have one lug for power in, one lug for a ground to ground the switch and the third for power out to accessory. If ungrounded then the led on the switch won't be illuminated .

i'm working out of town at the momemt and don't recall, the LED lights are hard to see. mine woirks consistent with the instruction/scheme printed on the device. hopes this helps

You have to charge the battery first before you can use it. I believe that:The green LED should turn ON when you charge the battery and turn OFF when the battery is full.
