 		 #178597 - The Heaters are failing, electronics is OK.
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Four pulses, to ensure that the TRIAC is fired.

I do not want to take any chances, whether the TRIAC turns ON, or not ON.

The product is also used on heaters that might be "Not Resistive", hence the 4 pulses.
