Electrical power and electronics how-to videos (AM training / support)
Product: AM.CO.ZA power and electronics parts used around AM machines: AG-VOLTAGE servo voltage regulators (AVR) and their circuit breakers, power supply trimmer potentiometers, bridge rectifier diode modules for IGBT plasma cutters, cable terminations, and the REX-C100 temperature controller used on roller heat presses and DTF powder shakers. This index collects 7 videos from the AM tools channel that were not yet listed in another AM how-to index. Other C100 videos are in the heat press how-to index and another diode module check is in the CNC plasma cutting how-to index. Deduplicated by watch ID across all AM how-to index pages (channel indexes alone do not count as how-to coverage).
Source: local AM YouTube dump youtube.jsonl (tools channel; refreshed 2026-10-18 00:25 SAST). First written 2026-10-18 17:07 SAST with 7 videos. YouTube was not crawled. Titles and watch URLs below are taken from the dump as written. Videos were not watched. Where the dump has a usable spoken transcript, the summary is paraphrased from it only. Videos without a transcript (or with an unreadable one) are listed by title only. Nothing was invented to fill gaps.

Voltage regulators (AVR): connecting the AG-VOLTAGE 3 kVA and 40 kVA stabilisers
How to connect AM's AG-VOLTAGE servo voltage regulators between the mains supply and a machine. The 3 kVA single-phase video has no transcript in the dump, so only its title is listed; the am.im product JSON for AG-VOLTAGE/3KVA lists it as the installation video. The 40 kVA three-phase video has a short transcript. Paraphrased: the supply goes into the top of the circuit breaker, which is its input; the bottom of the breaker is its output; and the output side then goes out to your device. The transcript is brief and partly unclear, so follow the regulator's wiring label or manual, and have a qualified electrician do three-phase connections.

Power supply and electronics checks: trimming a switch-mode supply and testing a bridge rectifier module
Two bench checks on power electronics.
- Adjusting a switch-mode power supply output (2023, paraphrased from the dump transcript): first measure the output with a multimeter. The supply in the video reads a little high at about 15 V. Turn the small adjustment trimmer on the supply with a screwdriver until the reading is right. Under load you may set it slightly higher, but by no more than about one percent.
- Checking a bridge rectifier fast diode module (2025): no transcript in the dump. The title says the module is checked by measuring the diode voltage drop with a multimeter.

Cables and wire terminations: star crimping and protecting direct-to-board cables
Two videos on keeping cables and wires connected.
- Star crimping pliers for threaded wire (2025): the dump transcript is not readable English, so only the title is listed: using star crimping pliers to terminate threaded wire for signal or power connections.
- Preventing damage to direct-to-board cables (2025, paraphrased from the dump transcript): many machines, for example A3 DTF printers, UV DTF printers and many vinyl cutters, have cables such as USB and network that plug straight into the mainboard. A cable pulled at an angle damages the port, and a network plug's hook means any pull can break it; this damage is very hard or impossible to fix. AM's method is to bend the cable through about three turns so it is hard to pull out, and to fix it with cable ties set across the cable's natural direction so a pull is stopped before it reaches the port. Bright yellow tape makes it easy to see when a cable has come out. Customers can ask AM for the stickers and cable ties.

REX-C100 temperature controller: settings, lock levels and factory reset
How to change settings on the REX-C100 temperature controller and return it to factory defaults (2025, paraphrased from the dump transcript; the presenter says the manual is on cncu.co.za):
- Target temperature: press SET, change the digits (the shift key moves between digits for faster changes) and press SET again. With no sensor connected the display shows out of range.
- Other settings: press and hold SET to step through the settings (for example A1, the first alarm). Change a value and press SET; the list loops back to A1. Read the manual for what each code means.
- Lock levels (LCK): the lock setting controls which values can be changed. The presenter says setting LCK to 1000 opens a hidden level that the manual does not mention.
- Code (guard) mode: after setting LCK, wait for the display to time out, then press and hold SET together with the shift (left) key for about three seconds to enter the code screen. Code 0000 opens one group of settings and 0001 another, for example SH, the upper limit of the setting range.
- Factory reset: there is no single reset button. Look up the factory default for every setting in the manual and change each one back to that value.
Settings and codes can differ between controller versions; check the manual for your unit before changing protected values.

Product names come from the Buythis product dump (buythis.jsonl; not crawled) and am.im product JSON. Prices and stock are not stored on this index.
