I have attached two photos of the board that came with the motor and the wiring diagram for it as well. The speed pot has a MIN and MAX as well as a RESET position. When turned through the min and max you can feel detents but once you get past min going to reset there is nothing.
When the kill switch is closed:
1. If the pot is set to RESET, only the D11 light comes on.
2. If the pot is set between min and max, the D11 and D7 light but no movement.
3. If the pot is then moved to reset, the D7 goes off and if the pot is then moved to something other than reset the D7 and D6 light and the motor begins movement.
What I gather from this is that the reset position is simply moving the pot to a point where the wiper wire is not connected and therefore I need to put one of the relays on the white pot wire. Am I anywhere close to correct? If so, can you point me to an appropriate relay for this?
For the other relay I assume (and we all know what that means) that I need a DPDT(?) relay between the motor MC-68 card, red and black wires, that can handle 95v. Again, can you point me to a relay that would do this and would I need a separate power supply or can it be powered by ?
Thanks for taking time to ‘edicate’ me.
