Author Topic: Strong xenon PS type 61000-1 Help please! Bruce McGee Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1776 From: Asheville, NC USA... Nowhere in Particular. Registered: Aug 1999 posted 02-20-2010 04:39 PM                     I just aquired a Strong 61000-1 supply that runs on 220 volts. I've been looking through the manuals page, and cant seem to find the manual for this one. I'm not going to do any more than clean it up until I get the manual in my cold hands. Thank you for any and all help.

Posts: 3686 From: Dallas, TX Registered: Nov 2000 posted 02-20-2010 11:41 PM                     There are two manuals for the 61001 under Lamphouses and Xenon Power Supplies. Neither one works for you?  |  IP: Logged Bruce McGee Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1776 From: Asheville, NC USA... Nowhere in Particular. Registered: Aug 1999 posted 02-21-2010 06:39 AM                     This one runs on 220 volts. I wasn't sure that it would be the same as the ones in the manuals forum as the ones there are 120 volt units. Nothing known wrong with this supply, yet, Mark. I'm strange this way. I like having everything together before I power things up! I'll go and download the 120v manuals and see whats up.  |  IP: Logged Louis Bornwasser Film God Posts: 4441 From: prospect ky usa Registered: Mar 2005 posted 02-21-2010 10:21 AM                        After cleaning, install the biggest blower you can find in this and it will be just fine. Dirt and the factory blower proved to be inadequate. Failure mode was diodes that blew upon shutdown. (Collapsing field square wave at peak.)

I've also seen connectiopns in them burn up and eventually almost every power transformer also burned up on the 120 volt units. Mark  |  IP: Logged Adam Martin I'm not even gonna point out the irony.

Nowhere in Particular. Registered: Aug 1999 posted 02-21-2010 02:14 PM                     I'm confused too. All these 1's and 0's... Its like a digital nightmare! OK: The 61000 manual that I downloaded is apparently the right one. On the cover of the actual manual copy, it states that the 61000-1 is the 16mm version. I only plan to run a 1000 watt lamp anyway, so this should be fine. I went ahead and printed the manual. I'll do some happy reading today. I thought I was getting away from 16mm stuff... Guess again!  |  IP: Logged Adam Martin I'm not even gonna point out the irony. Posts: 3686 From: Dallas, TX Registered: Nov 2000 posted 02-21-2010 03:29 PM                     Oh, I get it. You want a manual that matches your equipment!  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 02-21-2010 04:30 PM                     I think he'll find the two are very similar. I know where there are two burned out 61000 single phase units in case he needs a unit to match his service manual.....  |  IP: Logged Bruce McGee Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1776 From: Asheville, NC USA...
