TW AC1 Raven speed control unit and static


I have the original TW Raven AC1. It has the original control unit (not the unit provided with the AC3).
Occasionally when static builds up in the room and around my TT the TW AC1 with shut down. I then have to shut off the control unit and then wait a minute and restart.
I heard the newer control unit does not have this problem and is more stable with static.
P.S. My TT is grounded.

Anyone else have this problem and is the solution to get the newer control unit?

Thanks

Hi Rick,

when I got my Raven AC three years ago it came with the first version of the motor control.
Although I never had the problems you're reporting, after a year of ownership my dealer said to me that static problems could occur with the original controller chip. TW was aware of that and provided a new chip without flaws.
For being save, I got a new chip from my dealer. It was plain service.

Ask HWS for that chip. Or request TW directly. You can change the part yourself within some minutes.

On the other hand: if you want to test two or three motors, go for the new controller unit.
