Hi, just setting up the lube pump on my lathe and have run across a small issue with connecting the lube pump sensor.Before i connect the sensor wire to terminal 9 i can measure 23v between common and the return sensor wire. When i connect to terminal 9 this drops to 4.3v . If i bring up the IO screen terminal 9 is green with a bar over it. If i press ctrl alt i to remove the bar the light turns red instead and everything shuts down. The lube pump reservoir is full so contact is closed. Can somebody tell me if i should be getting 23v at terminal 9 and if so why does it drop to 4.3 when the sensor wire reads 23v when disconnected from terminal 9. Report attached.
Many thanks
Chas

Re: Sensor issue with Lube pump
With both sensor wires disconnected from the control, how many Ohms resistance do you measure between them?

Re: Sensor issue with Lube pump
Hi, managed to resolve the issue. Removed the pump and found an iffy connection. 24v now when connected to terminal 9 and have been able to remove the bar in the IO screen.
Many thanks.
Many thanks.
