7905/6000 install question

[jnb]

I just installed the first of two 6000 streams using the 7095 multicontroller - up till this point I was scared that the flow would be too much for my relatively new sandbed. NO! And so far, this setup rocks.

BUT - I do have an important question - on the driver, there is a mechanical adjustment to take power anywhere from 30 to 100 percent. So, If I set this at 50 percent and adjust the power at the multicontroller to 30 percent - am I ultimately getting 50 of 30 = 15 percent?

with the controller connected you should have the driver at 100%

the controller then drives the desired % of output.

yes, but if i wanted less power is this a possibility?

i'll let Roger make a comment but in my included instructions they do nor recommend anything less then 100% on the driver unit when a controller is employed.

It is my understanding that you could damage the driver if you manually decrease it from 100%. Just let the controller do the work!

Actually the driver was redone about 9 months ago so the multicontroller automatically overrides any driver setting so it isn't possible to cause any damage this way.

what about on older setups???

On older ones the driver should be set to full power.
