| Subject: | XDP-210EQ Relay on Remote problem... |
--> XDP4000X-List message posted by: "Roland M" <mdx400@hotmail.com>
Recently I was doing some rewiring in my car, replacing my old alarm with a
new one and doing a few other things since the weather is nice now :)
Anyway I was always running my remote from my head unit using a relay on the
remote wire since I'm running two amplifiers and an active electronic
crossover (for bi-amping my components) and I thought using the relay is
just cheap insurance plus it allows me to add other amps without any worry.
Well I decided to do away with the wire going from the HU to the back and
simply run the remote from the XDP unit's remote terminal. Again I decided
that a relay would be a good idea on the remote line, just-in-case. But I
had something very strange occur when I tried to use the relay on the XDP's
remote terminal.
Connecting one side of the coil to ground and the other side to the remote
terminal would instantly cause the green POWER indicator light on the XDP to
come on, and stay on, at about half its normal brightness. It's as if it
were giving me a "signal" that I wired something incorrectly. Removing the
relay and simply connecting the remote wire directly did not cause this.
I find this to be very strange behaviour since I don't think there is any
reason to be doing this. I even tried using a diode across the coil of the
relay as is sometimes required but it still did the same thing, the light on
the XDP comes on.
Has anyone else encountered this on either a 210EQ or a 4000X or know what's
going on (or what I'm doing wrong)? It seems to be holding up without the
relay as of right now but with a 300mA limit on the remote output on the XDP
I'm guessing if I add anything else I'm going to have to go off the HU's
remote line, to be safe?
For reference, all I'm doing is connecting a regular SPDT relay with one
side of the coil (85) to the remote terminal on the XDP, the other side (86)
to ground, the output pin (30) to the amps&xover, and finally pin (87) to
+12V. It doesn't matter if I wire the whole thing up or not; as soon as I
connect one side of the coil to ground and the other side to the remote
terminal the power light turns on...
