If you want help...Please join the forum & ask there...I'm happy to respond, and your answer can be more or less than a triac...There are triggers & a PC board too. Steve~ Sorry Larry~

Have 240Volts to the input side but zero out to the pump. Have wired the pump directly to the pump circuit breaker. I noticed in one of your comments that the relay, I assume its a TRIAC is a replaceable item. How do I order the item. I have a PR3X-2C in which the pump relay is not working.

There are a few things to check to determine what has failed...BTW if you have three 230 volt systems...It should be a PR3X-3C...3C being for three 230 volt triggers.

The pump does not run for any of the three A/C. Voltage to the pump relay is 240 for all three units. Output from the relay is zero. Have bypassed the pump relay and the pump runs so I can run it using the pump breaker. I understand the relay is a replaceable item but don't see it listed on your web page. Would appreciate info on how to order. Larry Roesler I have a PR3X-2C with three A/C units. The pump does not run for any of the three A/C. Voltage to the pump relay is 240 for all three units.

With shaded pole motors...They all have some hum when reducing the speed...It's just how much hum & where it occurs.... Sometimes replacing a fan or motor may change that noise...but it also may just show at a different RPM... One thing you can try (and you didn't say what control you have) is adjusting the fan speed in the control to see if you can't either set it above or below that hum...By this I mean, program around the noise in the control's program mode... Once the programming is changed the motor may drop or raise above the noisey RPM and you will not notice it because it does not ever stay at that noisy speed long enough to notice (it skips over it) This is a good topic for the forum & I'd appreciate it if you would post your questions for discussion over there...I don't have to approve each to get them to post, and we can better discuss your adjustments over there.

I found another unit last week but it's a 230v unit. Why are they so much less $, and can they be converted to 110 reasonably? Thanks again, Jeff Steve,
