voltage draw on dosing pumps

[Art13]

Anyone know what the voltage draw is on the brs 1.1ml dosers and also the drews doser? I'm trying to figure out if my dosing pumps would be ok on the TRIAC relays on the EB8 or if i'm going to have to put them on the mechanical relays.

Use the mechanical one. I learned from experience on my old DA.

You can use 4 and 8 on an EB8 or 1-4 on an EB4.

Alright, i have three dosing pumps and was trying to get away with one eb8 for now, though it looks like i'll be needing that second eb8 sooner than i thought.

Most of the time adding one of these will give you the extra amperage / draw needed to reliably run a dosing pump on a Triac outlet, and the light is nice for trouble shooting.

Good idea

Actually already ordered the other eb8 so too late for that but i really like the idea for those wires, would be great for testing things out and probably good for one or two of my pump wires with the bulky ends.

Or get an EB4 ... they're all mechanical relays.

I only need three total and i figured i'd spend a few extra to have more outlets for down the road.
