See attached image.


New PS was installed on Friday.

Tuesday, February 20, 2024, 08:01: Check Coil  not responding.

Coil set to 15 A, did not adjust.

Tuesday, February 20, 2024, 12:04: Coil PS SW1-7 switch in was in an "Off" position & wouldn't allow the voltage signal through to the PS. Switched to "on". Coil tapped to 7 A manually & back to 0 A ok.
