LaserUser.com Forum (formerly RDWorksLab)

Jeffery you comments sparked a thought....This has certainly become a charged discussion! Just keep a positive attitude and don’t let any negativity slow progress.

David,

Sorry for not getting back sooner. I stopped checking for responses because I wasn't really getting anywhere (no offense to those who tried to help). I have tried two different solenoids with the same results, one from the UAA and one I purchased after reviewing several other forums. The switch we installed to control the pump itself is working fine, controlling whether the pump is on all the time or only runs when the laser is on.

As with everyone I imagine, we have work to do with this laser so we've put this behind us for now as it is not a show-stopper, just annoying. If it becomes more of an issue I'll look at it again.

Thanks,

Chris

Part of my UAA modification is two on/off switches and a indicator light [lit when the higher pressure is energized], one switch turns off the high air pressure if you have accidentally enabled it on a layer and the other turns on the UAA in case you [me] forgot to click the button on the layer to enable it. It would work for you until you sort this out?
