Hello,
Bear with me since I am fairly new to anything electronics related so forgive my ignorance to easy answers.
I currently have a sensor connected to a solenoid. After some struggle, I found a way to successfully connect an 8-pin delay relay in series. However, I now need two different delay relay functions performed after the sensor receives the ON signal.
I figured it would be as easy as to repeat the pin connection process one more time but it has not proved as simple. I currently have the sensor's signal going into pin 7, and ground to pin 2. I have pin 7 looped to pin 8. As far as the output, I connected it back to the solenoid using pin-6 and another wire from pin-2.
If I repeat the process, I can get the voltage output to come out of pin-5 of the 2nd delay relay, which does perform the first function. However, it does not perform the 2nd delay relay's function. For example, I want to add an on-delay relay then a on-interval relay to shut the signal off after a preset time.
I can get it to work fine with one but not both, is there something Im missing or skipping over? Any advice helps, thank you. (if possible to explain solution in less complicated terms it would be very much appreciated lol)
