With two HAM-4/HAM-5/T2X controllers, remove the meter
fuse from one unit (this is the "slave"). Connect
the unmodified ("master") controller to the rotor as
usual. Connect the "slave" in parallel with the
"master" terminals 1-1, 2-2, 3-3, 5-5, 6-6, 7-7.
Terminals 4 and 8 are the motor capacitor ... only the
master capacitor should be connected.
If you are not using T2X control boxes with the LEDs
for brake and rotate, you need some way to make sure
that the two controls are not operated at the same
time. The easiest solution is a 24V lamp or LED
connected across terminals 1 & 2. It will illuminate
whenever the brake is engaged from either location.
