Need some help building a circuit involving switchs and relays

<< < (9/14) > >>

Shaydzmi:
 Oh no no no... Please see the picture:

Renate:
There's some confusion here.

I updated the graphic above to show a second bulb.
If this is not 100% correct, please correct it.

The cable on the feeder ring is two conductors.
Both conductors are already being used.
Both conductors already go to the board.

We're talking in circles here and the problem is not language.

Shaydzmi:
There you go :


There is no thing such an alarm wire.

Shaydzmi:
And there are some photos from inside the feeder, showing the swiches and the resistors across the lamps: (You can tell me how ohms they have)

Renate:
Those are 1.2 k ohm resistors.
If the full 24 VAC was across them it would be 1/2 Watt dissipation.
Since those are 1/4 Watt, that's not what is happening here.

Tell me, from your experience, or actually testing now:
Stick a finger on a switch and make a bulb go on.
Stick a finger in another feeder switch and make another bulb go on.
Did the bulbs get dimmer when you put another switch on?

See, if there are no more resistors anywhere then all the bulb current goes through that 3.3 k ohm resistor on the board.
That would mean that the bulb is running on much less than 24 VAC.
Do you have a replacement bulb number?
Do you have the service manual for this beast?

Note: I've updated again the drawing above.
