Relay check

Many electric chains incorporate the relay. If the consumer joins manually, the relay obtains the order to bring a food to the consumer. It is possible to bring a food to the consumer directly from the storage battery. At considerable consumed currents the chain joins the relay not to overload the switch. Along with the inclusion relay there are also functional relays, for example the relay of a cleaner-washer of a windscreen.

Check of the relay of inclusion

At inclusion of the corresponding consumer the signal on the relay is given. Thus a management electric current, influencing the electromagnetic coil, closes a contour of a working current, providing a consumer food.

Most easier to check up working capacity of the relay, having replaced it with another, serviceable. So for example, arrive on HUNDRED. In the absence of the spare relay it is recommended to make check as follows. Resulted below a designation of plugs can differ from the available.

 CHECK

1. Take out the relay from the holder.
2. Include ignition and the corresponding switch.
3. By means of the device for the pressure control check up, whether there is a pressure on the plug 30 (+) the holder of the relay. For this purpose attach the device to weight (-), and other tip of the device cautiously enter into the plug 30. If the device light-emitting diode lights up, pressure is. If the device shows absence of pressure, check up under the scheme, whether there is breakage on a way from a positive pole (+) no storage battery to the plug 30.
4. Prepare a crosspiece from the isolated wire with the smoothed out ends.
5. Connect a crosspiece the plug 30 in the holder of the relay (+ the storage battery, always submits pressure) with an exit of closing contact of the relay (the plug 37). Thereby work of the serviceable relay is simulated. Where there are plugs in the holder of the relay, is specified in the relay.
6. If at the included crosspiece the consumer works, it is possible to draw a conclusion on malfunction of the relay.
7. If the consumer does not work, find out, whether weight connection to the consumer is perfectly in order. Then check up connection from the plug 87 to the consumer. At breakage eliminate malfunction.
8. If it is necessary, insert the new relay.


If malfunction appears periodically the reason, as a rule, is the relay. In this case can take place слипание contacts. In this case slightly strike a finger on the relay case. If the relay thus works, replace it.
