Stu August 12, 2008 Share August 12, 2008 I got 2 float switches from aquahub. com, and wired them to a relay and a 12v dc transformer according to the directions. The directions/pics were good and detailed, but mine is not working. When I plug in the transformer, I am getting the click from the relay, but the relay also buzzes loudly and it does not turn on my powerhead to fill the water. Anyone have a wiring diagram or any pics of their DIY top off as a point of reference, and any idea what I may be doing wrong? I got a 12v DPDT relay from Radio Shack, and it looks like the one people usually use for these projects. Thanks. -Stu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu August 12, 2008 Author Share August 12, 2008 The link to RC is coming up as an "invalid thread." Does it work on your computer? Your setup looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YBeNormal August 14, 2008 Share August 14, 2008 Hmmm... They must have reindexed or removed the thread for some reason. I had a copy of the thread saved in MS Word though so I emailed a copy to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
