Well after playing with it for a couple of hours on the bench, the fan would start reliably on power on. I let it sit for a couple of hours and it still started on power on. So, I bolted it back in to the cabinet. When I powered it on silence except for that click now and then. Lightbulb on. Maybe tightening it into the cabinet is doing something. So, I loosened up the bolts holding it in place and voila it would spin up on power on. Making a long story even longer, it seems the bolts near the fan are just a hair too long and block the fan from turning. So, I need to find a couple shorter 3mm cap screws.
Thanks for everybody trying to help me solve the problem. > From: Alan Condit <condit.a...@gmail.com> > Subject: Re: [Emc-users] Meanwell SE600-48 Power Supply > Date: July 19, 2021 at 8:47:00 AM CDT > To: "Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net" <emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net> > > > Gene, Chris, Milosz and everybody who has tried to help, > > I am reposting this because I screwed up earlier and failed to change the > Subject line. > > I took the power supply out of the controller cabinet and set it up on the > bench.
