| 2009-10-22 | Donald Parris | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thank You Very Much - That Instrument Looks Like Just What I need! |
| 2009-10-13 | Gautam | 9 | 9 | 9 | 10 | No | |
| 2009-10-08 | bimal | 10 | 8 | 10 | 10 | Yes | If it can be explain with the diagram, it would me more easier to understand. |
| 2009-07-01 | Ian | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Many Many Thanks for your help and quick response i'll have a look. Thanks Again, Ian |
| 2009-06-28 | Andy | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank You |
| 2009-05-19 | Mat | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Much appreciated Thanks Dave. |
| 2009-05-03 | Mic | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Hi thanks very much for your help it was really starting to bug me. Kind regards, Michael |
| 2009-02-06 | AJ | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thanx a lot for the info and the explanation is clear and understood. |
| 2009-01-26 | Edward Hamann | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thanks so much- your reply was more than helpful! |
| 2008-11-04 | Kyle | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thanks! |
| 2008-10-27 | sagar | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Never expected such a quick response! God bless Mr.Dave!! |
| 2008-10-27 | Kyle | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thanks for the answer, ill give it a go! |
| 2008-10-21 | Artemio | 8 | 6 | 10 | 10 | Yes | i would like to ask a follow up question regarding this matter. the supply voltage is 220V |
| 2008-08-04 | marc | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Wow, thanks Dave. I think that's just what the doctor ordered. |
| 2008-08-04 | Joe | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thanks Dave! This relay is for a power fail alarm circuit. I have an electrolytic cap across the coil to add a few seconds of delay to eliminate an alarm condition from momentary power hits. Will leave it powered and test it periodically to see if the relay core becomes permanently magnetized. |
| 2008-07-02 | rishabh | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | thank you very much sir |
| 2008-06-13 | Murray | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Dave, thanks for the quick reply. I will double up the diodes (2 in series with each other = 2KV breakdown), making the assumption that the series string of capacitors is somehow getting unbalanced and the voltage distribution is not equal. Best Rgds Murray |
| 2008-05-21 | Paul | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thanks Dave; very helpful. Much appreciated! |
| 2008-05-21 | Nikhil | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | |
| 2008-05-02 | Nikhil | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | |
| 2008-04-23 | shod | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Unusual problem/question, honest, short and to the point answer. Thanks for taking the time to consider my madness. |
| 2008-04-17 | Mike | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thanks so much! I was so confused trying to figure this out for myself: "How can I get a 0.5 ohm resistor rated for 288 watts? That CAN'T be right! I obviously don't understand something here!" You gave me just the right info; makes perfect sense. This is great! |
| 2008-04-10 | Nikhil | 10 | 10 | 10 | 8 | No | |
| 2008-04-07 | kathy | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thank you for taking the time to explain in laymans terms. Iunderstand completely now |
| 2008-03-28 | tom | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | really helpful cheers |
| 2008-03-21 | Dave | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thanks for the reply! Too bad my idea won't work. All these years I thought water was a pretty good conductor. But a quick test with a cup of water and my multi-meter confirms that water is a pretty lousy conductor after all (hair dryer warnings notwithstanding). Also, too bad the dialers don't allow you to configure what resistance thresholds to trigger your alarms with; that would be another low-cost solution. Interestingly, the Sensaphone does allow you to configure each input as either Dry Connect or Temperature, and the latter allows thresholds to be specified for the alarms. If that's nothing more than a variable resistor, perhaps my idea still has a little hope... Thanks again! Dave |
| 2008-03-11 | Hannah | 10 | 10 | 9 | 10 | Yes | Thanks! You were so polite and gave me an excellent response. Thanks again! |
| 2008-03-09 | ian | 9 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thanks Dave Your information not only confirmed what I knew, you gave a specific site to source the how to do it yourself link. Much appreciated |
| 2008-02-28 | Gábor | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thanks for a very fast reply! |
