[QUOTE="Blondegirl, post: 1104431, member: 416293"] 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[ATTACH type="full" alt="switchsatellite.jpg"]134311[/ATTACH] 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? [/QUOTE]
