D/H Controller

[Bubbles Galore]

My bays use a D/H 8 option controller. I want to add triple foam and possibly one other option. I am just curious if it is possible to modify the controller to do this. If it can be done, what is the best way to get it done? I know this is about as big a noob question as you can get, but I need some direction.

Thanks!

What functions do you currently have? If you do not have any extra room for additional functions, you could replace the eight position with a ten position rotary switch.

That is kind of what my question is. Is it just as simple as putting in a new switch with more options or do I need to modify my controller? I have room for one more option (I can combine tire cleaner with the engine cleaner), but I would like to have the option to expand past that.

Is it a push-button controller or a rotary switch? You can't add more functions beyond the number of buttons you have now, but if you have an 8-position switch it's just a matter of replacing the switch and decal.

I have room for one more option (I can combine tire cleaner with the engine cleaner), but I would like to have the option to expand past that.

I have some bays with 12 position rotary switches. One thing you may run into is that you may need to run more wires to your meter boxes.

So I don't need to run those options through my controller, just straight to the meter box? This is where I am confused.

I don't have any problems running more wires.

I currently have push button, but I am getting new boxes from Etowah Valley that will have 10 position rotary.

Thanks for the help!

The controller's main function is to delay the motor start/stop. Those wires can remain hooked to it, but nothing else extra needs to go through it.

That would be great then. I just have to run wires to the meterbox from wherever the controller is for my new option? Do I have it about right?

You don't need the controller in play at all. Just go straight from the rotary switch to the new feature.

Thanks! That will make upgrades alot easier than I thought they would be.
