Re: Router will not power on. Why?

I first want to truly thank everyone helping me on this. Here is what I have done so far. I open up the main control box, while running the program, I got about 1.5 vdc (if that) to the relay, which says it needs a min of 3vdc to trigger it. I scrapped or deleted the project and started from scratch...

Re: Router will not power on. Why?

I think did something wrong creating the latest project. I measured dc voltage/amp coming into the 110vac relay, nothing really, like 1volt, so I am going to start another project again and see if it is me.

Re: Router will not power on. Why?

You know, one other thing that's **possible** but not as likely, is that the solid-state relay inside the controller somehow got fried. They're not very expensive, maybe $10 on Amazon, but your warranty situation might determine your course of action. The problem is, if that IS the problem, there's...

Some Porter Cable's are not compatible with controller to turn on/off.

Re: Router will not power on. Why?

Plug into control panel is correct. You must turn switch on top of router. When run is activated return starts automatically. I always turn the router switch off when I change tool on router. Make sure you always turn router on before you activate run. I understand, and checked this out the router ...

Re: Router will not power on. Why?

Does the router start up when you plug it into a standard outlet, rather than the control panel? If not, you have a router problem, of course, and maybe need to replace the brushes. If it does start up in a standard outlet, you have either a control panel problem or a G-code problem. Open the .tap ...
