There is nothing about that part in SuperPID manual. The only thing they talk about is the speed controller which is not installed in my router. My router is fixed speed.
Can you post a picture?

I will as soon as I get home. Also I check every parts diagram on the internet and none of them mention that part.
I look online and I think it might be a capacitor.
Quite possible.
If so it would be ~ a .1µf for noise reduction, if so it will check open on a meter.
You could remove it and place it on the AC input to the SuperPID.

I will check that. Thanks for the tip on placing on the AC inputOriginally Posted by Al_The_Man
Toss it in the garbage, it wont do much on the input side of the super pid.
I disagree!
It will help on any noise on the supply, the input to the SuperPID is direct on to the TRIAC which produces a lot of switching noise.
In any case there is nothing detrimental to including it!.
The original purpose was to decrease the brush arc switching noise.

Okay I was able to take a picture. Funny thing is I took it with my regular camera and I do not have a memory card in. So it saved directly in camera memory. But now I do not have a cable that connects camera to my PC so I have to take a picture of a picture with my cell phone :-).
Here it is:
I looked online and here is a similar thing Two-Pole Suppression Capacitor on page 39. But I still don't know if I should use it or not.

What I see so far is that my router does not need any modification with electronics. White cable goes directly to one side of the coil and black cable goes directly to the on/off switch and then to other side of the coil. Basically I will leave on/off switch on all the time and connect everything as per SuperPID manual pg.19. Of course I need to add sensor which will be mounted on the top of the router.
Is that right? Can someone confirm that?
It may not be necessary to move or remove the suppressor, but I would tend to move it to the input side of the PID, it can only help in that position.
It is just a suppressor for the high frequency spikes, originally for the brush arc suppression.
As to the rest of the connections there should not be anything to change.

Okay. I will move the suppressor to the input. Can I connect it next to the board so it will be enclosed in the case?
Preferably as close to the power input terminals as possible.

Will do. Thank You
Okay guys I burned the SuperPID chip. I connect 5V from Hard disk power supply and burn it. I never before have seen any electronics catching on fire till today
I already contacted SuperPID and will see what they will tell me. And because of my stupidity I will have to pay more money to ship it to back to them and then back to me. And repair cost.
Thats gonna be a lot of time and money wasted.
What did you do exactly, the HD 5v source should not have done it?

There are 4 wires. 2 black ,white and red. I connect ground from SuperPID to white wire from the connector and +5V from SuperPID to one of the black wires. I just checked that couple minutes ago and realized that in PC black is neutral and white is the one that carry 12V. I should check that before I connect it. Humans make stupid decisions when they in the hurry :-(
Also I'm kind of surprised there is no fuse to protect these components. I know it's my fault that it happened but if there was a simple fuse in there I will be able to replace it and use SuperPID. Now I have to send the whole thing back to Australia :-(
