Hi Bob,
Tracy will have to weigh in on this, but here is what I see. When the
EC2 (20B version) was using the electromechanical relay: when the signal
from the controller was off, the relay would conduct to the secondaries because
it was wired to the NC (normally closed) contacts. The MOSFET SSR (solid
state relay) is considered to be NO (normally open), so without energizing the
relay it will not conduct to the secondaries. Unless I am missing
something, Tracy will have had to change the logic in his program to reverse the
state of the signal line so it would function properly with the SSR rather than
the electromechanical relay. If I have this correct that means that one
can not switch from one relay type to the other without have the program
updated. In all EC2 matters, Tracy is of course the final authority.
That said, the relay would only effect the secondaries and you should still
have all primaries firing.

My setup came with the little mechanical relay...Bob White changed it to
the electronic relay system. So I guess Im not sure exactly what I have
now.
