need EE help - again
 
trying to test a pump but am confused as to how to connect it

http://www.thermal-management-testin...r%20pinout.gif

pin 1 is +12VDC
pin 2 is the tach output

which is the -12VDC leg, pin 6 "+12V DC RETURN" ?

what is pin 4 ?
the text is Hungarian

pins 3 and 5 are open (none) = "semmi" ?

Pin 6 looks to be the ground pin, no idea what pin 4 is. :p

A quick translator check on pin 4 reveals it says motor (variable) feed, I'm not entirely sure what that means for a pump - maybe it has some sort of speed varying circuitry on-board?

according to this http://www.freedict.com/onldict/hun.html

"semmi" translates to english as "zero"

nice link, Thanks

guess I need to avoid the variable feed lead

Hmmm...hun--ga--ri--an pump :D

The return is indeed the ground. Semmi is not connected.

Comair-Rotron fans have similar connections, FWIW.

tach AND speed control ?
link ?

Maybe #4 is a lower speed start winding. My AC tablesaw motor has that, with a capacitor, but the "tacho" is just a centrifugal DP switch. You could google pump control circuits - see what they can do. You're missing the controller.

For sure the best use of speed control in a pump is at startup torque.

Yes, that's right.

Digging...
