Hello folks,
Working on a remote igniter. I'm using the following parts.
32 gauge nichrome wire (as the igniter element)
12 volt DC 6 amps on/off remote relay kit
9 volt battery
copper wire 22g
I have constructed the project for the purpose of igniting flash paper. The nichrome wire gets red hot and is able to light the paper, however the remote kit does not shut off. The remote kit has been tested and works with different load (small light bulb). The kit sticks in the on position when the nichrome wire is being used as the load/igniter element.
Can anyone advise me on this and/or offer a solution? I need to be able to shut it off with the remote but for some reason the relay sticks. This is one of my first projects. Any direction would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ted
