Wiring Question

Post by Scott Swartz »

I just received an Armortek smoke unit and have put it together. However, I don’t have a power or speed control unit so I’m not sure how to wire it up. The black is obviously ground and the red is power but I’m not sure if it should be +12v or +24v. The blue and yellow are for the speed control. If I had to guess the yellow is ground and the blue is the PWM signal.

I’m also not sure how to wire up the track inputs on the Amplifier Module. They have three wires, Red, Green and Blue. I could probably figure it out by unbolting the circuit board and looking at the traces, but I’m sure someone knows. I assume red is +5v, Green is Ground and Blue is Signal. I also assume that the +5v doesn’t need to be connected if my receiver has its own power.

Any insights would be appreciated. Thanks, Scott

Hello Scott

The voltage is 24vdc. The black is Negitive and red is positive. The blue and yellow go to the ESP.
The Rc leads plugs into the reciever . the leads go from the ESP to the amp then reciever. As per photos in the manual.
