Hello all. This is my first post here. I did a search and checked the suggested threads on this controller but none of them have the info I'm looking for.
I have an MC60 controller, choke and motor that were salvaged from a ProForm treadmill. I would like to use them for a feed system on a drum sander that I'm building. I don't have any other components from the machine.
My question is, how would I configure the components to be a variable speed setup?
In this diagram from the lower cowling, it shows the line voltage going thru a breaker, to the harness for the control panel and looping back to a thermal switch in the motor, then to a terminal on the controller where it's connected beside the neutral.
Can I run the line voltage straight from a breaker or fuse to the thermal switch? I don't have any of the components from the panel.
Since I don't have the control panel, can I use a linear pot as a control? If so, which of the three terminals on the right side of the controller would I connect it to?
Thanks in advance for any input.
Mark
