Unfortunately, my FM transmitter is flat out not working so I have scrapped the show totally and just running the lights on with no sequencing.
Everything looks good until day 2. Then two of my trees will not power off the lights. Even when my Ren32 is powered off and I know there is no data on the wire the lights stay on. I have to walk outside to the two trees and unplug the AC.
On day 3, the lights do not come on at all. I go check the Dirkcheap SSRs and both of them are fried. I mean FRIED.
While we have had rain my SSRs are protected inside of a sealed PVC pipe.
The other thing that is blowing my mind here is that I am using other SSRs on bushes and trees. Knock on wood they are doing fine.
Each of the light plugs on the two affected SSRs have only two strands of lights. I have 2-3 strands on the ones working fine.
So my question is:
Can Vixen be doing this? For these two affected trees I am using the "Set Level" under Basic Lighting. I have the Intensity set to 90%. These two trees are closet to the road so I only want them On.
On my working bushes and trees I am using Twinkle.
What really irritates me about this is that I did burn in tests for each of these SSRs for hours before I did my setup.
Luckily, I have extra SSRs so I will continue to replace them as I need to until the season is over.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
