    Potential problem with 201 wiring.

    I have run across an issue here and I don't want to blow it literally or otherwise.

    My motor diagram shows windings A and C are connected and then B and D are. I did verify with the ohm meter.

    The PDF from Gecko states this.

    (TERM. 3) PHASE A Connect one motor winding to this terminal
    (TERM. 4) PHASE B Connect the other end of the winding to this terminal
    (TERM. 5) PHASE C Connect the other motor winding to this terminal
    (TERM. 6) PHASE D Connect the other end of the winding to this terminal
    Connect one motor winding to terminals 3 and 4. Connect the other winding to terminals 5 and 6.

    There is a labeling conflict here. Shouldn't I wire them AC BD? This would jive with the motor phases in my case and the last statement in the PDF. Thanks for any help on this. Getting this wrong could cost me.


    Here is the link to the schematic.

    The Keling wiring diagram has windings B and C reversed according to normal wiring diagrams.

    Normally the A&B are shown togather (Keling is A&C) and then C&D (Keling B&D). Check with Keling. Could be a typo. Also could be Chinese reverse engineering, or maybe reversed engineering.

    Thanks Jerry.
    I looked at the diagrams for some other motors at Keling. There is little consistency even between their own motors.

    It is clear that Gecko wants one phase on A and B and the other phase on C and D.
    If I had no diagram, I would connect them according to the windings and letters become mute. In my case, A and C are swappable to reverse the motor and so are B and D. The Gecko's even have a little drawing on the cover, so a picture is worth 1000 words still applies here.
    Thanks again, Jerry.
