The project i have been working needs help. What i have is a proximity switch controlling a set of infrared beam sensors,12 volt relay, and an actuator.
The proximity switch is to shut off the power to the whole system when it does not detect metal. The infrared beam sensors controls the coil of the relay. The relay supposed to turn on the actuator. Now the problem i having is the 12v relay chatters when the beam is broken but the relay does not come in to activate the actuator. Did put a diode across the coil of the relay and also across the actuator leads. Any suggestion to correct the problem. Thanks
