Hi Dave,

If the switch has jumpers there is no reason to move them. The switch is designed for the purpose you are using it for, we just need to modify the advice to fit the facts.

Hi Dan,

I'll try to post some pictures tonight of the switch....

Dave

 

[steamer]

Here ya go...Thankyou for your efforts everyone!.....I'm glad we're all working together to get this accomplished.

Hi Dave,
It not quite as easy to tell what terminals are jumpered in the photos because I can not rotate the dang things. If you can verify that the jumpers are the same as the ACI diagram you posted there should be a solution.

As this is a brand new switch if it needs to be modifyed to meet the specs listed in the MSC catalog there should have been documentation with the switch to explain this fact.

Remove Jumper from L2 - 7

Line 1 to Terminal L1
Line 2 to Terminal L2
Wire T1 to Term T1
Wire T4 to Term T2
Wire T5 to Term 6
Wire T8 to Term 10
Wire T2 to Term 7
Wire T3 to Term 11

Dave,
Just list the sets of terminals that connected metal strips or jumpers.

I have a hard time with it being a factory defect straight out of the box but it does happen.

Maybe everone has better eyes than me but i can not say for certian that the strips of metal that run vertically from drum to drum are jumpers or not. They might have another purpose and not comnnect the terminals.

I will send my answer tomorrow when the beer fog clears.

I'll ohm it out

Ohm Schome, Turn it on you sissy!!! Hahhahahaha!

I can almost hear Bob Farr's voice right now!!

I don't think that will be necessary. Just remove the jumper, hook every thing up, look at it again to be sure, and then try it.

 

[steamer]

;D

Ohh don't even go there.... Rof}

It checks out Steve....However, I was wondering

If I tied T8 and T2 together at the peckerhead and route them to 10

I can save a wire and more importantly use the 12/6 cable I already have ;D

( l love using that word in a sentence...Peckerhead....a noun, a verb...Uhummm I digress)

My meter says everything is open with the scheme with the switch in the off position.

I get
L1 to L1
L2 to L2
T1 to T1
T3 to 7
T8/T2 to 10
T5 to 6
T4 to T2

I'm learning new stuff all time!

Dave

Thanks again Guys and a special one to Steve!

You are da man!

Hi Pat,

third post this thread...in the picture on the motor housing, for high voltage


What am I missing here...???.....Damn just when I thought I understood.


Ohh everything above the top line is the motor....by the way.and it should say T8 not just 8...sorry Mechanical guys shouldn't do wiring....

Dave

T5 and T8 have to be isolated because they get swapped to go in reverse. Follow Pat and tie T2 and T3 together in the pecker head and take them to 7 or 11.

 

[steamer]

I have a closed circuit between switch terminal 7 and 10 with the selector in forward.....These two are open in "OFF" and "REVERSE".

I think I'm right.........

Dave

Nevermind I got your post......mmmmmm....some noodling to understand is required.....

So Am I just reading the motor incorrectly? Is the nomenclature refering to the switch terminals and not the motor terminals?

Take a peek at my second drawing in reply #34 and you can see that T2 and T3 are permanently connected on the switch and T8 is off by itself.

Doooh!!

Got it..
