You probably have a spare V+ DC terminal that could be used to power some inexpensive ground effect LED's.



This is about the simplest switch for your transformer, nothing fancy, but we seem to have difficulty explaining the more pleasant applications.

Thank you!

It worked...

And now for the pictures so far




Please excuse me for I have not yet rediscovered my drawing skills, please bare with me... but this is a drawing of somewhat how I want to set up my FFU, on the housing I build it I will set up a control panel
The top left switch would be a 120v switch that energies the ac to dc power supply then the rest is self explanatory from there. Well some what, I have to use a como of ac and dc switches or some with dual comparability.

How would you guys do this, would you do it a similar way as I plan on doing it, what do you guys think?

So these others are the pictures of the process and the last couple are showing with the red lines everywhere I cut or disconnected wire.

Then I threw away all that spare trash wire(cheap aluminum wire)

I could not for the life of me loosen by hand (I don’t have my power tools with me) the 2 screws on the far right holding the wires on the strip at the bottom of the unit, the ones for the wires attached to the 2 failure positions so instead I just trimmed them real short and put some wire nuts on them, later tucking them into the unit before closing it back up.

At the very top I decided to recycle to same pin connector that came on the board so I trimmed its wires very short, I bundled up all the unstripped and taped wires that I did not need and I put an orange wire nut on them then. I stripped the tip of the brown wire that connects to Pin1 on CN2 and the tip of the pink wire that connects to Pin5 on CN2, I attached them together with a grey wire nut and then I reconnected the pin connector to CN2...



Crossed my fingers, held breath, plugged in the unit and...

🎶

Music to my ears!!!

Opinion time once more Pham...

As far as the housing I plan on building for my FFU, should I build it the way the traditional flow cabinets we’ve all grown to know and love with the filter blowing from the back of the unit toward the worker in a forward motion

Or...

Should I build it so the the filter sits on top of the unit facing down towards the table the unit sits on?

Hello again Brother!

So you showed me how to turn on my FFU but how do I wire it to high or low ?

I want to put one switch to energize the unit and another for low setting and one for high setting (maybe I’ll just use one double throw switch)

For now I have this 16amp 125vac/10a 250vac radio shack illuminated round rocker switch number 275-0028 but it did not come with a wiring diagram.

I did however find this on line... lol did not help me any



I want to wire this switch at the incoming ac power right before the ac to dc converter basically energizing the converter with the led light on while in the in position only.

Would you be so kind as to assist me again?

Please

Brown/Red for Low speed OR Orange/Red for High speed

I burnt out the led before I was instructed on how to install this old switch lol

So now I am replacing that old rocker switch I had laying around for this new and much nicer Latching
Push button.



This one is also rated for 120vac/250vac but when doing this I have to put a 75k 1/4 w resistor in series with the positive pin (+)

I already have the resistors in hand and I’m ready to do this...

Can anyone guide me just to make sure I’m doing this right

Lol I would really be bummed if I burn out another led

Looks to me like you might need to keep the relationship of the wires in the diagram in mind when hooking it up in order to connect the right wire to the positive:



Other than that it seems to me that if the switch was wired into the circuit before the transformer then you wouldn't need the resistor:

The vendor says if connected to 110-120vac to put the resistor in series with the positive pin, keep in mind this switch a really heavy duty dc switch that can also handle/is rated for 120vac/240vac so I guess the resistor pinches off just enough for the 120vac does not burn out the tiny LED

Oh, Ok. Is it an LED light that you want to wire? What voltage and wattage does it require?

No the switch has an led in it.
This switch is to energize the ac to dc converter that will power the FFU

Seems to me if this switch is rated 250v that it wouldn't need a resistor, and the first switch burned out because it was rated for a 12volt circuit. But I could be mistaken.

Never mind!!!!

I did know what I was doing...

I just accidentally did not do what I had planned originally without noticing until now

Ignore the failure wires, you don't need them. Can't really tell you what each of the rest of the cut wires are for unless you can give a detailed drawing of where they go. It's not important either way, all you need to know is if you put power to it and it doesn't turn on connect the brown and pink wires together on CN2 and it should turn on. The brown, red and orange wires on CN2 could be connected to a potentiometer and would most likely control the fan speed but shouldn't be necessary for it to work.




These instructions you gave me worked but I was just wondering if I wanted to hook this up in the high setting would I instead of connecting the Brown and Pink wire I disconnect them and then connect the Red and Orange ?

The on switch should be independent of the speed control so if you don't have the brown and pink connected it most likely won't turn on. I would just add a 10k potentiometer to the brown, red and orange wires so you have variable speed rather than just high and low.

Updates!





I actually forgot to take a picture of the switch already installed on the unit...
L
But I’ll just do that next time I’m in the workshop and I’ll upload it soon.

Right now as it stands I’m only using it on the speed that it turns onto just by connecting the switch.

Before you responded I found out/verified that the brown and pink have to be connected to be on and that the speed controls where used separately...

The only thing is when I connect the red and orange it goes way way way faster... lol to the point where I think it might burn out working at that speed for too long, so I think your most recent suggestion should work much better.

Soo for the mean time I will use it at is and I’ll make some adjustments when I’m ready

Im almost done, I still have to add a potentiometer to be able to regulate the fans speeds since the pre filters added too much sp.

But how exactly?

The brown has to be connected to the pink for it to run, now once it’s running with the brown and pink together if I touch the red and orange it speeds up to pretty much max capacity... lol not good...

I don’t want to burn the motors out, so how do I connect the potentiometer and which potentiometer is good? There are many options under 10k potentiometer
