JEM ZR22

[goodforthesoul]

I am using a JEM ZR22 that has worked well for me, I would like to build a simple on/off type switch for the smoke rather than use the multifuntion remote control... has anyone any experience of doing this?

 

found this as information and it uses a 3 pin XLR:

 

"Use remote XLR socket Pin 1 GND and Pin 2, 0-10v input. This pin needs 1.5v to heat the machine and 2-10v to run the pump when up to working temperature"

 

Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

From the best of my knowledge someone local to me tried it and failed.

 

Although I could be wrong, but I dont think this is possible to do.

I will work it out for you, are you wanting it to go full power when you hit the button or do you need some form off control, I know exactly how to do it

cheers! I want it to just go full power until the switched is turned off, quite simple.

 

I have since found out by pressing the stand by button this sends a low voltage to the heater telling it to warm and then the second signal a 2-10V is for the output, I can only assume that the 2-10V is the vary in output? and if it just got a 10V then the output would be full.

 

On a second note, I have just been discussing the same unit with a friend who has a problem with the unit not heating up to full temp, I thought the unit uses a thermocouple temperature sensor to tell the electronics when it hits temp and allowing the pump to work, but I notice that the unit also has a thermostat on the cast alloy heater block... this switches the live to the heater, so I was wondering if this switch is to control the temperature of the block OR if it was just an over temp protector? I know that this piece could fail over time as it is a simple bi-metal device that would only be rated for a number of cycles.
