The normal board in the SLX looks for >120VDC to fire, and the IREM develops at best 80-90. Pat  |  IP: Logged Ken Layton Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1452 From: Olympia, Wash. USA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 01-17-2002 11:07 PM                     Super Lume-x's usually have part number 39981 igniter circuit board (100 vdc "No Load") installed. You can either buy part number 39966 igniter circuit board (85 vdc "No Load") or you can convert your existing igniter board into the 39966 by simply changing Zener Diode number VR201 from a 1N5374A (75 volt) to a 1N5369A (51 volt) then mark the board that it has been converted. Also, Strong makes a wiring harness kit to connect the Super Lume-x to Irem power supplies -- # 39879 Wiring kit & cable assembly, Irem power supply to Super Lume-x.  |  IP: Logged
