S/S Relays and Variable Speed Routers

[InventIt]

Anyone ever have problems getting a Porter Cable Variable Speed router to power on using a Solid State Relay?

I'm having a problem getting the router to power on using the relay. Sometimes it works then after 1-2 times it won't power up anymore. Seems like it has something to do with the speed controller in the router not liking being turned on by the relay? I did wire a resistor across the relay (10K) the Crydom specs say the relay needs a min of 40ma to latch. Everything seems OK on the relay side. It seems like the problem is in the router.

Anyone have this problem before?

OK, just tried loading the relay with a light bulb AND the router. Works fine that way. Guess I need more resistance/load on the relay?

Whats the best way to get a 40ma load on the relay????? I don't want a bright light hooked to it all the time.
