hi everyone,

what relay arrangement and/or other components do I need in order to convert a 500ma negative/ground auxillary output to a 500ma or higher positive constant output.


my goal is to turn on and off a cargo light with my remote. the programable output is timed and the longest duration of output is 2 minutes and I need full control on and off instead of a timed.

thanks

Pin 85 to constant
Pin 86 to (-) out
Pin 30 to constant
Pin 87 is your + output

Use standard Bosch style relay

thanks but that only converts the output from neg to pos right?

I also need something that changes a pulsed/timed output to constant otherwise the light keeps turning of after 2 minutes.

Id like to be able to turn it on for as long as needed and then turn it off all by remote.

thanks again

The green wire that connects to the switch in the above link connects to the negative output of your alarm.  Set your pulse to the shortest possible time.

1n400X  X= any number from 1 to 7  Radio Shack should have something.  Tell them you need some 1 amp diodes.
