This is the second one that I have bricked, in the same location over about 3 years. At this point no LED, can't control it with UPB or the paddle. They oddly don't seem to die during usage, but at some later time.
I am using the HAI UPB Relay switch to control my fireplace. I have it hooked up to a functional devices Relay in a Box. I just need to close the contact for the fireplace to turn on and open it for the fireplace to turn off. The relay in a box I am using is the RIBU1C - wiring diagram is https://www.functionaldevices.com/downloads/datasheets/RIBU1C.pdf
I have it wired like this:
From UPB Relay switch -> RIBU1C:
Red (Load) -> White/Black (120v)
White (Neutral) -> House Neutral + White/Yellow (Common)
Ground -> House ground + Screw on plastic box in the basement where RIBU1C is. RIBU1C doesn't appear to have a ground?
RIBUIC -> Fireplace
Yellow -> One conductor of fireplace wire
Orange -> Other conductor of fireplace wire
I don't see anything wrong w/ that wiring? A little concerned about a lack of ground - but RIBU1C doesn't have a ground. RIBUIC is 10amp, my UPB relay is 15 amp. I am not sure how exactly relays like this work - but I can't imagine its drawing 15 or 10 amps of power to just close the contact? Is my relay potentially bad?
