6. Setting up Your Spindle

The Apollo I spindle control consists of a 0-10V analog signal for spindle speed and two relays (CW and CCW) for
spindle direction. Below the spindle terminals on TB2 there are two LEDs for spindle forward (FWD) and reverse (REV).
If these LEDs turn on correctly, then your spindle is set up.
