Vacuum won't start automatically

[Lawrence (Lawrence "Lars" Thurman)]

Thomas,

I do not know if there was supposed to be one. But you can just go to a local computer store and pick up a computer power cord.

Hey Lawrence,

@Lawrence

Do you have a Onefinity controller? I do, mine has a sticker on the back of it.

Your photo does not show a controller. It shows a power supply (the proprietary power supply for Elite/MASSO controller in this case).

Did you watch this?

Apparently such a cord is NOT provided by Onefinity (seems like it should be). I’ll pick one up and come back if I have further questions. This issue really should be in the Manual.

[tnknsnj (Thomas McLaughlin)]

No, I missed it. Why isn’t this provided by Onefinity?

[Lawrence (Lawrence "Lars" Thurman)]

Thaks for the correction in terminology. I beleive this is what Thomas is asking about.

[OnefinityCNC (Onefinity Support)]

It is. It’s on our official YouTube channel and faq section of these forums. We also just provided it directly to you

Hey all,

This issue really should be in the Manual.

Issue? You mean the issue of making sure the power cord is plugged in? Pretty sure it says to plug everything in.

Elite Manual, page 13

It’s not that they explicitly say it. This machine also works without attaching or using a vacuum.

But they label it “Vacuum Power Cord Plug”. So I think I would first plug exactly that into this socket.

Hey Espressomatic,

Exactly. It also doesn’t tell you to plug in the router in the manual or how to wire and connect a spindle. SMH

Elite Manual, page 42

They say it explicitly for the router. And they warn it’s not for a spindle.

I think the difference is, this machine also works without attaching or using a vacuum (but hardly without a router).

Also Router On/Off will work automatically since everybody has M3/M5 in their g-code programs.

But Vacuum On/Off will only work if you tweak a CAD/CAM post processer to include M8 which originally is for Workpiece Flood Coolant On/Off and has to be diverted this way. So that would have been the next “issue” from the original poster (that was already vastly elaborated above).

Hey Thomas,

@tnknsnj

This is from the Onefinity Elite literature:
Built in Auto on/off router outlet
Built in Auto on/off Vacuum outlet
How is this possible if the vacuum is plugged into a separate circuit?

because internally the vacuum relay is wired into the vacuum circuit (unlike the router relay which is wired into the router circuit)

There are TWO cords in the box. Unless they’ve been planning since the summer to get you like this and only provided me with two cords in the box. I have a hard time believing they have that kind of ESP.

I’ll pick one up and come back if I have further questions.

@anon93936469

This thread reads like a bit of a troll now that we’re all caught up.

We’ll see what happens when the original poster comes back from aquiring the missing (or lost after unpacking) vacuum power cable. In this case, I think the “Solution” flag should then be diverted from “most likely the fuse is blown” answer to his new post for future readers.
