How to drop voltage from a solid state output that leaks current?
Hello Everyone!
So I am trying to hook up a data logger to monitor the status of a solid state 24v output.
The problem is that my leakage current is giving me an input voltage to the logger of about .7-.9V and the logger requires a voltage under .4V to acknowledge a state change. I thought I could add a mechanical relay to open the circuit, but it won't acknowledge that either, it is looking for feedback across the input for an actual voltage below .4V.
Does anyone know an easy way to reduce the voltage present at the logger input to a sub .4V level? On the high side, I only need a signal at the logger above 2.8V, but it can be all the way up to 30V as well.
Any help is appreciated!
THANKS!!
