Hi, i have had an ideal 160 been given to me but the contactor is missing. I bought a new one but the wiring is the question. I don't have a diagram, can anyone please help?
Cheers
You will need to trace the wires back to where they come from then cross ref with diagrams.
There should be the mains cable GOING INTO the machine these should connect to L1 and L2.
Then coming OUT of the contactor on T1 and T2 these go TO the power selector switch.
Then there should be a pair of INPUTS to the contactor (for the coil inside the contactor) CONNECTING TO A1 and A2 one will come FROM the small transformer and the other FROM the multi connector plug that plugs into the electronic box.
NOTE the colours I have used on diagram may not be same as in your machine!
