Title: Wiring in a Smoke unit
Post by: Fred Ellis on July 08, 2017, 01:09:38 pm
Hi


O.k I just need some advice.


I have a Graupner 6 volt smoke unit, I am going to wire it in between the speed controller and the drive motor in parallel, now would I be right to say that when I stop the motor the smoke unit should also stop or will it still keep running?


Thanking you all for any help you offer.


Fred


P/S the battery is 6 volt.

Yes, if it works the same as my Harbor Models smoker.  No smoke at zero throttle, progressively more smoke as the throttle is advanced.
