    Below is a picture of the board - everything looks ok, except for the LNK302DN chip (such a voltage converter), which seems slightly smeared at the DRAIN leg:

    Close-up of an electronic board with the marked LNK302DN component, which appears slightly scorched. Image of the electronic board of the ZAMEL RNP-01 transmitter with a scorched LNK302DN component.

    Subsequent questions - is it worth messing around with replacing the LNK302DN? Anyone encountered such problems with ZAMEL transmitters?
    I can order a new one, but I'm afraid a differential will pop up again at some point and I'll have to play with pulling it out of the box again :/

    PS, if the post should land somewhere else, I apologise - I tried to choose as close to thematically as possible.

    If it's going to be replaced "on the spur of the moment" it's definitely not worth it....

    Power it from the power supply, then you can debate.

    Burnout at the input. The circuit works on a voltage contact. If nothing else has gone then replace. The advice with the power supply as correct as possible. And you may have a faulty RCD. It is dropping zero before phase.

    This is what I wanted to do, the question is what voltage to supply? Well and I wanted to pin minus to ground (N) and plus to S (Source) on this LNK302DN, any other ideas?

    I hadn't thought of that! Is there any way to cottage-check this? I don't have an oscilloscope :/

    @pitt66 Power supply to main circuit. See from 5V, but should be >12V.

    I don't quite catch which is the main circuit - but I plugged in with about 8V under the LDO (LE33) for input, and then by shorting on the Opto contacts I was able to control the lamp (the status LED flashed and the receiver received the command). Pictures for posterity, maybe it will make it easier for someone:

    So I conclude, that you could try to replace the LNK already a little less on the stick? The diodes on the input look ok (checked with a 30 zeta meter, one conducts the other not).

    Profactorily, and having this suspicion, I ordered a type A RCD from a normal company i.e. Eaton, until now there was some Chinese LC Tec.

    If by "on contact" you mean that on the click of a switch then no - it is powered all the time, and passing a phase to these switch ones causes a signal to be transmitted (that's what this opto is for).


    To sum up, I fixed it and it works. I replaced the LNK302DN and the 47ohm resistor (it had no external signs of damage, but it was burned out - not conducting at all). The total cost of the repair was LNK for about 4PLN at a local shop + resistor + some fun soldering = worth it :)

    Closing. Thanks for your help!

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around the malfunction of a ZAMEL RNP-01 in-box transmitter, which failed after the differential circuit breaker was triggered. The user experienced a previous failure and had the device replaced under warranty. After five years of use, the transmitter stopped sending signals to the receiver following a power interruption. Responses suggest that the burnout may be due to voltage surges when the differential is reset. Recommendations include testing the device with a power supply, replacing the LNK302DN component, and checking the RCD for faults. The user successfully repaired the device by replacing the LNK302DN and a burned-out resistor, confirming its functionality afterward.
