Re: Help with weird problem.

make sure your belt isn't too tight. you may be stalling out the cim right away by haveing a belt that is either too tight or doesn't move freely. This could cause your cim to stall and draw its stall current (100 amps about).

Then depending on your electrical set up you could be tripping a breaker that controls the electricity to your control system. This then could cause a reset of your entire control system.

to check this just put a multimeter on the cim and make sure your not drawing to many amps
