I have a MC-80 treadmill motor controller that I am trying to hook up.. There are not too many connections on the board and they are clearly labeled, but I have a couple questions. The connections are as follows.
In the picture, on the left side of the board is a 3 pole connector labeled L W H which is where I have a 5K pot hooked up. W to the center terminal of the pot, and the L and H to the others. No problem here.
On the right side of the board are 6 spade lug connections, 2 for AC input, 2 for the DC motor connection, and 2 for the choke connection. The AC inputs are labeled hot and neutral and I am sure I have those correct. The DC motor connections are labeled + and -, but that won't matter except the motor might run backward. No problem there. So that brings us to the choke connections and the questions.
I don't have a choke for this controller but have read elsewhere that you don't really need one. Is this true?
If so, what do I have to do to run without a choke?
Do I run a jumper between the 2 choke lugs, or leave them not connected?
Haven't plugged it in yet. Don't want to fry it if I do it wrong.
Thanks in advance
