Hey, all-- I could use your help.
I'm running a Shop Fox 1HP Dust collector on 240v. 60 Hz; only 1HP. Runs l ike a dream.
I picked up the PSI Long Ranger III DC Remote system. 220V. It's rated fo r 2&1/2 HP; 220V, 60 Hz. I'm running 240V; 60 Hz; only 1HP. I programme d the remote, plugged the Remote switch into the Outlet, and the DC into th e switch. I turned my paddle switch on.
I hit the power button on my remote, I heard a click inside the box...
... but nothing from the Collector.
Click on, Click off. No air movement. Paddle is ON.
I unplugged the DC, and plugged it direct into my outlet; ran like a dream , as usual.
I figured the switch was bad. I grabbed my voltage pen tester, turned ever ything on, and it reads hot all the way to the DC Motor. I hit the remote off; tester went off. remote off, no current. remote on, there's current .
The switch is working, the paddle is on, it's hot, and the remote works, b ut it's not firing the DC. What in heck is going on here?
Is it possible that the rating between the 220V of my switch and the 240v o f the DC is really stopping this thing from going? My ignorant understandi ng is that 220v & 240v are widely interchangable.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
