Description
We’ve re-designed our controller test board to make it cheaper and easier to use. The CTB-002 model will work with all PRO and DNO models, and the CTB-003 is for the Porter range. They work by temporarily taking the place of the normal control wiring, and help to identify and isolate problems. It gives a basic forward and reverse operation, with a single speed setting when the “Run” button is pressed. Best used together with our troubleshooting page.
