Jan 8, 2020 at 21:22 comment added A.M.S Update: the problem seems to be the snubber circuit, without it every thing is working correctly. the only question is : when triac is off is it normal to measure around 17 volt ac at its output terminal with and without load connected ? and will absence of snubber circuit cause problem ?
Jan 8, 2020 at 20:24 comment added A.M.S @Andyaka and yes with other circuit without snubber it didn't blink.
Jan 8, 2020 at 20:23 comment added A.M.S @Andyaka Yes it was an led lamp

Split text (mostly where intended by OP, but where only 1 x Enter had been used) to prevent "wall of text". Some grammar changes to improve readability.
Jan 8, 2020 at 20:22 comment added A.M.S Update : there is another bta12 driver circuit in board exactly like this one but without snubber circuit (it is for heater). this one seems to work correctly with lamp and pump but only problem is when turn it off, a very small spark with a very small sound happen between triac (bta12) pin number 1 and 2, and also i think very few times when turn lamp off after a very short time (miliseconds) lamp does a blink. and also it works with pump but what is that spark for ? and can snubber circuit in the other circuit be the cause of problem ?
Jan 8, 2020 at 20:21 comment added Andy aka Was it an LED lamp? If so, that sounds normal because the snubber lets thru enough current.
Jan 8, 2020 at 19:51 comment added A.M.S @Andyaka When logic pin is low with lamp and multimeter connected in parallel to J4 terminal it cause the lamp to blink as fast as it is visible to human eye, like turn it on and of with a mechanical switch and multimeter read around 37 vac. When logic pin becume high the lamp turn on constantly (i think the blink of it may not be visible to human eye ) and multimeter read around 220 vac and a gane at low logic level the lamp blink.
Jan 8, 2020 at 19:43 comment added Spehro 'speff' Pefhany Try shorting 4 to 6 on U5 and see if the triac turns on. If there's something wrong R9 might burn up so be careful of that, and potential shock. If it does, then your wiring may be wrong or U5 may be bad.
Jan 8, 2020 at 19:41 comment added A.M.S @SpehroPefhany Yes it is 1.235 vdc.
Jan 8, 2020 at 19:38 comment added A.M.S @VillageTech i tried both and read around 220v, no difference.
Jan 8, 2020 at 16:27 comment added Spehro 'speff' Pefhany The circuit appears correct. The 220VAC multimeter measurement when 'off' is expected with the pump not connected because of the snubber network R3/C7. Carefully measure the voltage from pin 1 to 2 of U5 with the logic input high. It should be approximately 1.2VDC. You don't need VAC for the measurement.
Jan 8, 2020 at 16:14 comment added Andy aka Have you tried using a lamp as the load?
Jan 8, 2020 at 16:13 comment added VillageTech Are you measuring the voltage with pump and multimeter connected to J4 in parallel, or only multimeter? BTW: D5 is not needed here.
