Hi,
I have installed an extraction fan in my bathroom with a humidistat. It is also possible to trigger the fan for which I have installed a separate (from the ceiling light) ceiling pull switch with a neon.
When pulled once the neon goes on and connects the trigger circuit which starts the fan. As long as the neon is on, the fan will continue running. If the switch is pulled once again the neon will go off and the trigger circuit is disconnected and the fan will shut off after the timer period has elapsed.
Now that is how it is supposed to work the only problem is that the neon which is connected across the pull switch actually lets through a small current which is enough to trigger the fan. The result is that the fan is running all the time regardless if the ceiling switch is connected or not.
If I remove the neon from the switch everything works fine!
But I do want the neon in order to know which state the switch is in.
Does anyone know if there is a solution to this or not? (I am not interested in a mechanical indicator!).
Thanks,
Anders.
