Just setup our new Elite Foreman, totally new to CNC but learning fast.
Router will not power on, have checked fuses, confirmed MO3 Gcode, and tried supplied file from 1F, and one I created from Carveco Maker.
If I plug router directly into wall and it will run and cut properly.
Any thoughts?
Did you not search and find this video? Took me less then 1 min to search and find this.
Yes, I’ve watched it numerous times, as I said the gcode is confirmed, and fuses are good, not sure what other solutions the video offers to the problem.
Did you test it under manual control? Like the video tells you This would tell you if your system is working or not. No G code just manual control from the masso touch screen
Yes, the SPINDLE CW button illuminated when pressed manually, and also illuminated when running the gcode automatically. But no actual power to router.
Then you should reach out to OF support. Also remember you do need to keep the router on/off switch in the on position.
Do you hear an audible ‘click’ from inside the power supply when touching cw button?
If not, change the fuse to a new one
Checked the fuse again, looks good, replaced it anyways though. No clicking sound from power supply.
Plugged the router into the vacuum outlet on power supply, no click sound, no power on that side either.
Dumb question but did you run the power cord into the box, it gets power from there not the Masso power supply,
Are you asking if I plugged the router into the power supply? yes.
I might be confused here but I had to also plug in a 110 Cord into the back of the power supply to power the VAC and I thought Router, maybe it is only for the Vacuum.
Sorry to confuse things.

I believe the router and masso both run off the one 120 input, the vac does need to run on a second circuit/power cord though.
We still have no solution to our problem can you help further or should we open some sort of official support request? Thanks!
I just ran into the same problem, I set mine up over the past 2 days and the both the router and vac were not powering on, checking wiring, power, fuses etc. did not help. What solved the problem was to address the issue with the connectors between the Masso controller and the power supply, what was happening was that not all connections were being made, or not being made continuously. To see what was happening, I opened the power supply (not recommended of course) and watched what was happening. The relays were triggering randomly it seemed. I used a dental tool and closed in the female pins on the connector labeled “A” and that solved the problem, the connections are now solid, either vibration or just a loose fit with the connections was the cause of this problem. I’ll likely post a video on my Channel in the coming weeks to show that the solution is very simple with the right 2 dollar tool. Let me know if that helps.
Good morning. Did you end up posting this video? My elite is out of warranty, and randomly the Spindle CW nor vac functions work. It happened Tuesday during my second cut of the day. Everything was fine first cut, second broke a tool. Everything functions fine, just lost spindle cw and vac. Router will function when plugged directly into power.
Hey,
I never did post the video as it didn’t seem like a common problem.
This is a problem with the connectors, there was a problem with contact between the male and female pins inside of the plastic connectors. What I ended up doing is taking a pair of tweezers and making sure that each male pin was correctly centered inside of the plastic housing. Next I took a dental Pik and then carefully adjusted the female pins as well by lightly bringing them inwards (There are effectively 4 sides) so they’d have better contact on the male pins when connected. I don’t know why, but mine had poor contact and with just a bit of vibration, they’d lose contact momentarily and then I’d have an issue like what you’ve been experiencing.
I only fixed mine once, and since then I haven’t had a problem, so hopefully it works well for you!
Let me know how it goes.
Have you tried changing out the fuses for the router power port?
