    You will need to convert any sensors or contacts that need replacing by using 680 ohms resistors.
    I have sent you a link to the Astec manual. Hope it helps.
    If you have any questions come back to us.

    What link have you sent please


    Also please read my post. I asked you to post the link you sent not the PM, please don't blur the request.

    If you have linked to a copyright holders site then is it not an issue, if you appear as a conduit to other sources of material that might place boards.ie in hot water then it's best to avoid it.

    I thought this practice was not allowed as per the legal statement on manufacturers manuals

    I've asked KK to address his post differently.

    He has not, a very simple edit was suggested.

    The thread opened in feedback seems to be policy in KKs opinion.

    I disagree. I reviewed the boards.ie policy beforehand. I'm not happy that kk has posted again with a similar post.

    I can just edit his post but that's bad practice.

    I've pointed out what i believe this type of text could expose boards to, but it does not seem to be a concern

    The small edit has not been carried out.
    So we need to discuss the issue in a much larger context, IMO needlessly.

    So I'm going to go down this road.

    Note this is still under discussion and that KK is working away and completely aware of what I have asked him to do. Either of us could be correct at the end of the day but I don't think it had to go down this road.

    This is off PM now, that went absolutely nowhere but could have easily been resolved unknown to anyone but KK and I

    Hi all, just catching up on this now, and have reviewed the points on copyright manuals etc.

    Just to be clear, users are not to send manual links via PM. If you have a manual to send, put the link in thread. I'm not going to waste time asking users to share links after the fact and all that messing around. KK you are a long terms user, you know the score. The above could have been sorted in 2 minutes, so next time it happens and any user sends manuals via PM, that users is taking a holiday from the forum.

    QED
