Wiring up a pci relay card

Enko · 04-March-05, 05:11 PM

I bought a Xoxide PCI relay card awhile ago but am just now using it. http://www.xoxide.com/pcirelay.html
I got a Hydor L30 pump.
Can anyone tell me which color wire goes in which slot? the three slots are labeled N, G, and L

I am guessing Negative and Ground are the N and G. Dont hold me to that though. Not sure about the L though.

do you know what color wire will go to the negative and ground?

i got black, white, and green wires coming off of the hydor l30

edit: did a look for color of the wires and found this: http://www.misterfixit.com/gfi.htm

this site says that the green is the ground, white is the neutral, and black is the hot wire. is this correct?

Not always true. I would look at the spec sheet for the pump. Im looking for the manufactures website. Found the site no product spec sheet. I think what you found might be right since it is meant to be plugged into a wall.

Here are some links for a similar relay card...

Just try to look at what the wires used to connect to on the power cord...

How's that PCI relay card working out?

i went by the link that i found and its been working as its supposed to be. only thing i don't like about it is that xoxide put a buzzer on it. when you turn your computer on it emits a high pitch noise for about half a second. supposedly this will sound continuously if your computer goes on and the pump does not but i would rather turn off the beep when it goes on . ..

its also kind of annoying with this relay card that the backing isn't on correctly. it interferes with the pci or agp card that's above it. this could easily be remedied by just cutting the holes on the pci slot cover a little lower. since it is removable from the slot cover, i'll probably just cut another pci slot cover to remedy this.
