[QUOTE="ArloG, post: 1164867, member: 418555"] A mechanical, hard contact relay will eventually glitch. And faster than a reed switch because they aren't in an inert gas/vaccum. SSR is the way to go. I worked in industrial electronics for a long, long time. And the only time one failed was when a motor seized or shorted out. But hey, rock on. For the optical switches you have. Could you link to them or state the IC used on it? One thing you do not want to do is inject a voltage on the vbox sensor terminals because those lead to the internal optocoupler. Same as the ASC1. A buffer interface is needed to provide switch closure on the terminals. If you lived this side of the pond I'd just extract a few from the pc boards I have and fling them to you. One like this would work perfect. 3-32 VDC input, up to 60 VDC output rating. [/QUOTE]
