    PIC 16F1937 microchip

    Hi all. Hoping someone can help. There is an oil filled heater at work that is not running. The pump that fires the oil is not kicking in.

    I've taken the PCB out the panel and found a board that is marked IPD-0018-E

    It's receiving 230v ac and the output relay has 5v DC present. The various diodes and resistors etc all check out ok. The only thing seemingly left is the IC labelled as PIC 16F1937.

    My question would be. How would I know this is the component causing the issue/how do I test? And should I simply order one and replace it? Or does it need programming out the box or ready to run? My limited knowledge of IC's leads me to think this would have to be flashed with the old one?

    Any help appreciated.

    Gareth.

    so is the heater and pump in parallel if it only has one relay?
    does this thing have a display or any lights on it?
    it could be the relay or relay driver - hopefully.
    because the PIC has software in it.

      Apologies for the delay in getting back to you stj. I was working nights last weekend. On second inspection it does appear to be the relay as there’s no 5v DC output from it. A new one has been ordered and is on a slow boat from china as we speak! I’ll let you know the outcome.

        Vaillant 242 Gas Water heater. Shortcut in board anc compatibility with model 282
        by edugimeno
        Hi!!
        Yesterday I was installing a new Wifi thermostat for my domestic gas water heater model Vaillant 242/2-3, and accidentlly one wire from mains touched one wire from the thermostat output contacts. This shut off the heater so I finished installing the thermostat and then went out to check the heater

        I found one fuse blown (T2 250V). Replaced it with another equivalent fuse and it blew right away. I measured L-N in mains input and I sometimes got 4K but sometimes, not sure why, I got 100 Ohm...
        At a certain point, moving stuff around, I put all wires back in place and...

        Is it possible to test the relay without it being hooked up to the pump motor? It is the normal 5-1-2 configuration, as far as I understand it.








        Any tips for testing large start/run capacitors of this size and nature?...

        Diesel heater emergency power supply / poor man's UPS
        by madan1
        Hello everyone.

        Some background - I have one of those chinese diesel heaters, which I'm using to heat a garage. Probably most of you are familiar with that units, but here is some basic info - the main heater body is enclosed with the motherboard+sensors unit inside a plastic case. The heater has a glow plug, that works only when the unit is starting (start the fire in the burner) and stopping (make sure to completely burn the fuel inside the burner) and two fans on a single motor. One fan is used to push fresh air in the burner, the other is used to push cold air in the case and...

        9V relay temperature 40C
        by jm1234
        Hi, I'm seeing one 9V relay having temperature 40C on its 9V (primary) side. Does that seem right? I switched 2 relays on that board and the temperature was the same (on the same position), so I'm sure it's not a faulty relay. I measured voltage on that relay and it was 9.5V DC, so that looks good. I don't see any other relay on that board having that kind of temperature and they have 9V on them too.
        I thought maybe the transistor that is switching this relay keeps switching on/off, so I also checked for AC and there was almost none: 0.3V using mV range. No steady frequency was shown, but...

        Biomass Boiler not driving cleaner motor relay. ENERTRES BIOMASA BI-650
        by edugimeno
        Hi everyone!
        I have this board that suddenly stopped supplying power to an output that drives an interchanger cleaner motor.
        I checked while the board was in place with all wires attached and there's no AC voltage on the corresponding plug X5
        This X5 is driven by fuse F8 (tested OK) which comes from the second orange relay
        To make sure there are no charcoaled contacts inside the relay, I got a 24VDC power supply and got it ready to manually power up the coil side of these relays.
        I respected the polarity, positive to cathode of protecting diode
        So provided all...
