Hooking Up Your PRSalpha
Powering the PRSalpha Control Box
The power to the PRSalpha Control Box should be wired into a fused disconnect by a
licensed electrician familiar with industrial equipment.
The Power Requirements for the PRSalpha Control Box and Router/Spindle vary according to
your configuration. The table below outlines some of the power requirements for different
configurations. A schematic for the power requirements for your specific configuration can
be found in the door of the PRSalpha Control Box
Since the power requirements for a Porter Cable router and for a Spindle are different, we
install different components in the PRSalpha Control Box depending on which you will be
using. This is not user configurable. You specified which you would be using at the time you
placed the order.
