Hi there wondering if anybody owns the good old Martin 700, Just bought one from ebay £23 pefect nick, just missing the controller. Ive made my own controllers for it, Made a very simple keyring version too really like it, (5pin din plug with 2 led's red and blue "heat & Ready" And shorted fire pins) works a treat plug literally plug and go. If anybody does own one I have a way to bypass the anoying but smart pump reverse on the unit, If u would like to know how PM me and I will send u the pic off how to do it. Joe

I have one of these, but the wires are ripped out of the controller. Don't know which wires go where.

I'd love to have a picture of what you've done.
THANKS

Rather than keeping the info secret and only giving it out to people who ask, how about posting it here for the greater good of the community...

good point, its very simple, there are two ways off doing it first one which ive done on mine soo far which just envolve cutting part off the pcb , the other will use a resistor aswell dont know what size as ive not tried it yet. I've got the pcb drawing in the house will up load it when I get home, at work working on the nasty VR8 at the mo, as for the remote the pins on the back are as follows from first pin at the top "+v , speed , GND , ready , heat" too make the fog fire on full u just have too short "Speed and GND" switch on wait 90secs an out comes the smoke Joe


sorry but site wont let me up load pictures , click on the link and it will take you too the pichttp://www.bebo.com/PhotoAlbumBig.jsp?Memb...umId=5714387157

I've had a Martin 700 for a while now that I also picked up on eBay, this has no controller either. Would you be able to provide me with the details of how to knock one together? I'm particularly interested in pin connection details as I don't wish to ruin the fogger or cause any other harm. :-)

many thanks for the smart pump bypass, I had one given, but it kept on getting an air lock, done te mod, works a treat, Im thinking of putting a variable resistor on it, so I can trim it to give a bit of backwards to clear the block, but not too much to get air in the pump.

next point, it what happens if you run out of fluid? is it supposed to self prime? to get mine primed I have to use a syringe, and force fluid through till it comes out of the nozzle

Ive wondered bout that I am having a think about it, it may end up requiring an aditional bypass on the fluid pipe in which u have to siringe fluid into the pipe or just watch that u dont run out off fluid :P , im going to up load pics off my home made remote soon very simple but works a treat and looks good, im really happy that somebody understood my drawing with success, thanks Joe

pins on plug are as follows

Pin 1 = +vcc I think is 12vdc

Pin 2 = Gnd

Pin 3 = Ready ( Connect desired Led And resistor to here and return to Gnd) LED will illuminate when ready

Pin 4 = Speed ( For full output place switch here to GND or put a variable pot "22K is fine" in-line with the switch then too GND)

Pin 5 = Heat ( Connect desired Led and resistor to here and return to Gnd) LED will be illuminated whenever heater is on

I have a spare remote.
And I am also after so help info please.
Just started my 700 to give it a clean to find the pump makes a noise , the heater element works and a little smoke comes out of the end.
Nothing compared to what it used to do, as I said the pump is making lots of noise but doesnt seem to be creating a vacuam to lift the fluid through.
Would it be the pump leaking air ? I also gave the small hoses a clean .
Can I get a replacement pump easily ?
Thanks for any help
Stu

I appreciate this is an old thread but I didn't want to start a new one. A few posts ago there was a pinout posted for the remote - I wondered if anyone knew what +volts does? I have managed to make the machine work without +volts in the circuit... :S

The +V is there incase you wish to power something in my case it was only a power LED, But in other circumstances it could be used for powering a timer circuit or Wireless controller.
