Author Topic: Strong switcher with Xenex II Jeff Else Expert Film Handler Posts: 125 From: Detroit, MI, USA Registered: Nov 2006 posted 09-22-2009 10:05 PM                     how do i connect a strong switcher to a kneisley xenex II properly? i know the switcher usually provides the 110 for a strong lamphouse, but the kniesley has its own 110. thanks!  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 09-22-2009 10:30 PM                     BAsically the same way you'd hook up a Super Lum-Ex. The isolation tranny in the switcher can supply the 120 volts to the Xenex and the return legs from the Xenex switch the contactor(or SSR) on in the switcher. Doesn't get any simpler than this!!  |  IP: Logged Jeff Else Expert Film Handler Posts: 125 From: Detroit, MI, USA Registered: Nov 2006 posted 09-23-2009 07:59 PM                     the terminals in the switcher are simply labeled "2,4,5,6,3" so i guess my question is which are the 110 supply and which correspond to the xenex's relay wires?  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 09-23-2009 08:34 PM                     the strong switcher manual is on line here and has the schematic of the teminals  |  IP: Logged Jeff Else Expert Film Handler Posts: 125 From: Detroit, MI, USA Registered: Nov 2006 posted 09-24-2009 09:52 PM                     okay i see that 2 and 4 are the 120 volt supply, and 5 and 6 are the "return from lamphouse", which will connect to the "relay" wires in the xenex II, which is the positive and which is the negative of the 120 between 2 and 4, and which is the positive and negative of the relay circuit between 5 and 6. forgive me, i don't know how to read schematics!  |  IP: Logged
