SSR operation seems backwards...

Sorry if this has come up before but I've just wired up two SSR (Mager) and they seem to be operating in revers. I.e As soon as I turn the BSC on the SSRs switch to open the circuit and in manual mode when I go to turn the outputs on they turn off... Am I missing somethig here?

For the wiring I have the following:
1) Live in
2) Live to device
3) 5V+ from BCS
4) Output from BCS



And don't laugh at my lunch box enclosure, this is a proof of concept for the wiring before I go hacking away at my proper enclosure.


I'm scratching my head on this one and it's driving me batty...

Ahaha - I'm a self proclaimed idiot... When I was making notes for the wiring I've messed up the DIN and OUT so I was in effect creating a loop by using the 5V+ connector as + and the OUT as the - on the control side... all fixed now, let the trial run of my RIMS tube begin tomorrow =)

Yeah, you had them wired up for a sinking output configuration. The BCS has sourcing outputs (ON = 5v),

You want pin3=BCSOut, pin4=BCSgnd. That is a good way to create a NC ssr though, lol
