Author Topic: ORC rectifier Info Bill Mantz Film Handler Posts: 91 From: Plano, TX Registered: Feb 2001 posted 06-17-2003 01:17 AM                     Dose anyone have a manual or wiring diagram for this rectifier. The rectifier is an ORC Model# RPS-X1000 Input 120v, 20A, 60Hz Output 20VDC, 18-42 Amps Thanks  |  IP: Logged Paul G.

Here are some pictures. [ 06-17-2003, 08:37 PM: Message edited by: Bill Mantz ]  |  IP: Logged Paul G.

You might want to do some comparison between the M-1000 and what you have, and do some reverse engineering. It may give you enough info to go on.  |  IP: Logged John Anastasio Master Film Handler Posts: 325 From: Trenton, NJ, USA Registered: Sep 2000 posted 06-18-2003 04:52 AM                        Paul's right. It looks like if you took the exhaust fan off and replaced it with a reflector, you'd have the integrated unit.  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 06-18-2003 09:01 PM                     It is the M1000 rectifier section in a seperate box and is probably better capable of working longer because of the reduced heat effect of not having the lamp beside it  |  IP: Logged Bill Mantz Film Handler Posts: 91 From: Plano, TX Registered: Feb 2001 posted 06-19-2003 01:08 AM                     Thanks guy I downloaded the manual and was able to get it work. It took some time to figure it out the person that had it before me had it wired for a special automation he made up for himself.

All that stuff was de-rated by ORC fomr 1kw to .7kw a long time ago.... Don't worry, the .7kw lamp puts out the same amount of lumens as the 1kw lamp does. Partly due to the fact that the .7 kw lamp envelope is much smaller.
