The Xetron power supply is a single phase unit as denoted by the "X1" part of the model number. Sometimes Xetron had several different model power supply schematics/parts lists inserted with lamphouse manuals. The Xetron power supplies are made by IREM in Italy. IREM/Xetron power supplies were also distributed with Cinemeccanica lamphouses which were distributed in the USA by Xetron!  |  IP: Logged Will Kutler Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1506 From: Tucson, AZ, USA Registered: Feb 2001 posted 10-29-2001 02:37 PM                     Contact Bob Maar (Joke-A-Thon) at Neumade. They are a distributor for IREM. He may be able to get your needed book.  |  IP: Logged Aaron Sisemore Flaming Ribs beat Reeses Peanut Butter Cups any day!

However they do not always supply enough no-load voltage to properly make Strong (and some other) lamps ignite, and modifications have to be made to the igniter boards in the lamphouse. I believe Gordon has the info you seek in that regard. -Aaron  |  IP: Logged
