Peter,
You don't need the Protel Schematic software to open my published circuit diagrams! They are ALL in PDF format. (I never published them anywhere in their original Protel format because virtually nobody would be able to open them!)
As for diode D7 (5404), I ALWAYS omit the “1N...” in front of the numbers (for example: 4148, everyone knows what the '4148' diode is!) in both the circuit diagrams as well as the pcb silk screenings! D7, 1N5404, is an ordinary, 400V, 3A power diode used across the solenoid/pump motor winding to protect the driver MOSFETs. OK?
By the way, for ALL readers here: You will NOT find the circuit diagrams for the 'IR Receiver' or the 'IR Transmitter'! Those circuits are combined under the name “leveldet.sch.pdf “. The same goes for their circuit descriptions: “Re-fill control electronics circuit dscription.doc”.
Needless to say, those who have studied my WFGP design files would already know all that – and much more.
Peter, your post prompted me to publish my replies to Alex (kampen72) about his parts list “problem” and the reasons I flatly refused his request.

Alex,
Sorry to be harsh and blunt but your request is totally unrealistic and downright ridiculous!
It is also a clear admission that you have virtually ZERO knowledge of electronic components (and I am NOT referring to electronics theory here!)
In my writings, I made a very clear WARNING to all those who intended to replicate: you need at least some BASIC knowledge of electronics, or, the assistance of someone who does have such knowledge. Period.
IF I were about to almost literally 'spoon-feed' you (and others) with details like you requested, I would NOT have any bloody time left to do anything else!
To be more specific: When a person who knows electronic components picks up an empty circuit board, he can instantly see what kind of components go where! THAT is what the 'silk-screening' is for - a guide for assembly!
He would also know that ALL components are STANDARD, UNLESS specified otherwise on the circuit diagram and/or the circuit description for that particular circuit!
Further, he would/should also know that if the board is powered by, say, 12V, ALL capacitors (for example) would be no more than about 25V ratings. Even the capacitor TYPE is indicated by its 'foot-print' (pattern)! So are the resistors, diodes, transistors, ICs, etc. And so on. It is nothing more than simple common sense!
When you see "Pattern" on the parts lists, they will NOT mean anything to you (or the company you are trying to order from!), simply because they are component foot-prints (patterns) I created (within the Protel software) for my own design purposes!
The same goes for connectors (plugs/sockets). They are NOT specified by manufacturers. Whatever brand fits the hole spacing (pin spacing) can be used.
However, since Altronics is my MAIN supplier of standard parts, if it is of any help, I suggest you download their catalogue. (altronics.com.au)
As an example, you may have to order relays from Altronics (if all else fails). Catalogue no.: S 4206A (on page 309)
Cheers, Les Banki
Alex,
First of all, there was NO need for your explanations. I knew all that already.
I repeat: your approach to parts ordering is WRONG. Get someone with at least some knowledge of electronics to assist you and let him read my previous reply/explanations and both of you will quickly find that there are no problems whatsoever!
I also repeat: there is NO WAY I am going though your list of several hundred lines!
Further, your expectations of the people working for RS (or similar companies) shows that you have NOT understood what I wrote about component foot-prints (patterns) and how or why they are used!
Perhaps I should add that every designer has his/her own 'coding' methods - so don't expect 'outsiders' to know them! (there is NO NEED for them to know - and they don't!)
I firmly believe that I have supplied more than enough information for replications but I feel that you are expecting TOO much from me!
Cheers, Les Banki
Alex,
With all due respect - and for the last time - I keep telling you things and you are NOT paying attention but continue to 'pester' me (and I am now sick of it!) with questions which NO-ONE ELSE asks!
That in itself should tell you something!
I will put my comments between yours - in red.
Cheers, Les Banki

I have a some component questions, need more specs. details, to order the correct type. Can you please help me out.
AUTORPM0 PCB: IC7 C-555 is this a CMOS NE555 or the regular NE555 version?
I have specified that you need a "C" version which everyone knows stands for CMOS!
CDIMODU2 PCB: What Voltage are these? C-12 CA, B,C, 0.33u CAP20X10-2
Alex, again and again, anyone with even mediocre knowledge of electronics looking at the CDI circuit diagram will see that capacitor C12 is 1uF and it is connected to the +300V line!! Therefore, even "blind Freddy" can see that its voltage rating should be 400V or more! The circuit board itself also clearly indicates that you can use either a single 1uF capacitor OR 3 x 0.33uF (like I am using, simply because I have at least 2000 of them!)
C-10 CAP 11S630V
Look again, it states CAP11S630V
Res-10 990K R21
Again, just look WHERE it is connected!? To the +300 - 330V line. So WHAT do you want to know!?? I don't think you have actually read the CDI circuit description or even looked at the diagram! By the way, there is no such standard value as a 990K resistor. You simply grab a handful of 1M resistors and select one which has an approx. value of 990k. It is called "tolerance" (+/- 5%) and electronics people do this regularly!
Sorry, Alex, it is NOT my role here to teach regular electronics to absolute beginners!
TYN816 Thyristor SCR1
What is the problem??? A TYN816 is a TYN816!! That is the part number! OK?
TF1 = CFL transformer. Can You supply these?
I have ALREADY supplied it. It is on that round CFL driver board and you are supposed to transfer its components to the CDI board but again, you are NOT paying attention!!
Timer (Dick-Smith) from my place I can NOT order D&S does not ship to NL. Can You supply these?
These timers (as are most other things) are made in China. I used to buy them from another company here before Dick Smith. Use your imagination and track down the supplier or manufacturer. I simply REFUSE to waste my time to pack parcels for you, fill out custom declarations and running to the Post Office to send them to you!
Control Box Casing. Can You supply these?
Same answer as above, plus, have you actually downloaded the Altronics Catalogue as I suggested!?? (Both the control box and cabinet is supplied by Altronics.)
CONTRPAN PCB: What type are these? LCD-Meter M-1 SW-DPDT Switch SW-PB-SPDT
Again, all the above are supplied by Altronics. Look through their Catalogue and you will find them!
For your information: I have been abel to order almost all of the required components. Noticed that: VCA (IC3) must be the singel OPAMP Package. Mosfet MPT-3055E must be with inn-built diode.
Again, you don't understand! The MPT3055E already HAS a diode! IF you use another type of MOSFET you need to make sure it has a built-in diode. Nowadays, most of them have.
C1 must meet local AC-Voltage and can NOT be Electrolytic.
You have some more reading to do! With a self-regulating electrolyser, you don't need C1. (It is 'replaced' by a shorting link on the pcb.) Period.
Looking forward to your reply. Thanks in advance. Alex
So, ALL readers, make of it what you will.....
Cheers, Les Banki
