The wiki claims Energy-O-Mats will trigger redstone wires connected to it while it's allowing power to pass, however as of v7.16 they don't.
Bug: Energy-O-Mats don't trigger redstone

i noticed yesterday that in ssp redstone was triggered 2 blocks away from it

I noticed it will never trigger redstone right next to the energy-O-Mat itself, however it will always provide power next to the cable entering and exiting the energy-o-mat. No matter what i try i can not get either location to toggle. I really would like this so I can use it with my pipes in BC to create a generator feeder.

Same as leftler, I want to build an automatic circuit using redstone and an energy-O-mat but it seems it doesn't work correctly.
In fact I'm searching for a "current captor", I mean something that power redstone only if a current is passing through it, but not if there is a potential but not moving. I think it's how the energy-O-mat is wanted to work but I never tried before so I'm not sure.
That's it.
(Sorry for my english but I'm not english. I love using IndustrialCraft so I wanted to report some bugs I could find, even if I don't speack correctly ^^")

I've found that it powers redstone around it and one block up, not next to it.
