Unless you are implying that powering the tool on and off caused the trigger, not the power supply. Same follows suit, remove the battery then power off the supply. If the voltage droops low and quickly, I could see this being an issue. The omission to this is how bad the voltage droop is while in operation. This is all good information! Some questions, why are you powering on and off the power supply? Turning on the power supply, then attaching it to the tool I would think resolve the power on issue you describe. Any interruption in the supply power stands a chance of causing problems on the tool side. This whole setup does in fact work if you use the power switch on the tool, but I'd be careful even then. It was about this point in my experimentation that the tool I was using to test completely died, and I decided that burning up tools was going to cost me more than I wanted to deal with for this project so I gave up.Įdit: I should note that my plan was to use this with a porta-band and to switch the power on the supply side to turn the tool on and off, as I have a portaband table and reaching around for the power switch was a little dicey. My general theory there is that the tool has something like capacitance where the voltage doesn't cut off quickly even if you cut the source and I could see the effect clearly on a scope. OK, so can't rely on the PSU to cleanly apply and cutoff power with a fast ramp, so how about a relay? That worked reliably on power-on, but still had problems with low voltage cutout on power off. That then would leave you back in the position where you need to remove the battery. If the power-on ramp time was fast enough, the tool would power up, but then power off ramp is also slow and that would trigger the low volt when you released power. That ramp was slow enough for the tool to frequently trigger the low voltage cutoff which completely disables the tool until you remove the battery and re-seat. When you apply AC power to the PSU, the DC output ramps up over some short amount of time. The power-on from a normal DC PSU (Mean Well is a good example) is not an instant-on affair. What I eventually sorted out was that this was due to the tool's low voltage cutoff.

It would either not work at all, or work once and then not work. The low battery cutoff in the tool causes a handful of issues that aren't obvious. I started chasing this down a while back and ran up against a few problems that I couldn't ever quite resolve.
