the speed controllers need to go between the motor and power supply .. its as easy as + and - in and + and - out though..

Hi Augie,

I bought a couple of these PWM speed controllers for 2 Topsflo TD5 pumps. I am wiring them up, though, and realize I need to translate the Chinese to distinguish "in" from "out." Would you happen to know which is which?

Also, which is the correct order?

1. Power Supply-DC Converter-PWM-On/OFF-Pump
2. Power Supply-DC Converter-On/OFF-PWM-Pump

Much appreciated as always!

I am not home to check but doesn't only one set of inputs have the + and -? If so I believe that is the power in. It looks like yours are both labeled the same..
I would suggest looking g at them on eBay where some sellers will have a wiring diagram pic on the sale page.

Also Im sure you already know this but many of the TD5 and ts5 pumps have the mppt controllers in them which will counteract the effect of these somewhat.
