Controller box:
The controller box encloses the control electronics, and provides a safe environment. There are many ways to determine which controller your machine employs.
Note that this list is not exhaustive. Older and less common controllers are not listed here. If you do not see your controller here, obtain any part numbers or markings before contacting support.
*If possible, take a picture of the controller and email it to tech support.
