Re: EDP footpedal failure queery
Hi Rick,
The footpedal is very simple inside. Each switch connects the conductor
wire
of your connecting lead to the earth conductor through a resistor.
(straight
to earth for RECORD button)
The EDP "scans" the resistor value and executes the appropriate function.
Commonest problem is a dirty switch which gives misfires or the wrong
command. I use switch cleaner and then with a pencil and blu-tack rotate
the
switch while pressing lightly. Works for a bit.
The other problem is a wire can have fallen off inside. Have a look and
resolder anything that looks loose.
Which buttons are not working?
Best wishes
jeremy
