For 80M or 20M Provers the Controller power requirements and large blower power requirements are
different and separate. 80M Provers will require special fixed wiring for the Blower relay box. The 20M
Prover will come with a special power cord for the large blower. In some cases a different plug may be
needed for the 20M large blower power cord than what shipped from the factory. In any case all wiring
connections should be made by a qualified electrician.

If using an Instrument Drive (ID) Pulser as a test control mode, perform this step then skip
to step 21.
As the drive dog travels around the interior hole of the adapter plate during testing, it is critical that
continuous contact is maintained between it and the follow pin. The best way to ensure that this happens is
to perform the following steps a - e carefully before finally securing the ID Pulser to the adapter plate:
Improper alignment and engagement of the instrument drive dog can lead to equipment damage.
a.
Place the ID Pulser over the center hole of the adapter plate. Decide which set of
mounting holes in the adapter plate to use to get the ID Pulser shaft most closely
centered over the adapter plate and drive dog.
b.
Fasten the ID Pulser to the adapter plate using the two mounting clamps provided. You
will need to make fine adjustments to the position of the ID Pulser, so do not tighten the
mounting clamps all the way down.
