I have a V-box II driving a Jager SMR1224.
When we tried to use it the other day, it failed with ER-2
The box clicks (both directions) but comes back with ER-2
Today we looked at it, it appears it moves with no issue and the reed switch is operating correctly.
When closed the switch is 3.0/3.1 ohm (at the V-box – quite a long cable which measures 3.0ohm in itself as a loop) and >100Mohm when open.
If I connect a ~9v battery to the switch with a LED and resistor it pulses as expected and gives the following pulses as measured via an oscilloscope
This appears totally right to me, however the Vbox when connected doesn’t register the switching.
When the switch is open/not connected I measure 0.3vdc - is this the correct expected value?
It looks to me like the V-box is faulty – anyone any experience here in this area who can help?
