shut down controller behaviour?

Jamez_Warner · 11-26-2003, 02:31 PM

just got my mpegbox shutdown controller and it doesn't seem to be working right

soon as i give the unit 12v ( which in a car would be constant ) even if the ignition wire is low it gives power to computer ( should'nt do untill ignition goes high ) on shutting down it works fine - but then if i make ignition high again it doesn't turn back on...

i realise it needs a complete cycle to start working - but it won't turn back on after 1 cycle ( need to disconnect power and start again )

is this normal - or am I doing something wrong...

ok just tried again - this time relay came on with power, turnt of ignition wire - shutdown waited alloted time and killed relay - fine. turned ignition power back on - but this time the unit came back on after about 10 seconds, but cannot replicate this again... any ideas whats going on?

its ok working now - must have been a dodgy variable resistor
