It would be part of the low voltage power supply on a barco

She's an AC machine 8110 ultra and don't mind it being ac ATM as its a big step up from my 7" ac es hopefully I'll be quite happy with it as I'm stoked with my cine 7 ... I plan on doing the mp mods he 145's and a moome but super broke ATM so treading carefully and slowly as I have a working machine to tide me over still can't wait though Smile

I know that feeling (spent over a grand on two projectors myself) got some tubes and spare parts coming so I have two machines
I like the ac optics(my Ecp has ac optics) but haven't seen my nec to its fullest yet(its a lc optics beast all 200 pounds of it)

Between the two my Ecp is a lightweight(99 pounds) but for a 7inch machine it isn't a slouch though I know its straining to fill my screen so its going to be used for another setup with a smaller screen(love the picture from it though)

The 10PG will even give an AC XG a run for its money, the ECP wont even go close to an 8110.

Yes the ventilators comes on in a low mode when power is plugged into the LVPS, no matter if its in or out of the machine.

I think your right see those running Again before putting it back in.

Do both ventilators run around nice if you push them with your fingers.?

If you feel comfortable measuring on a life board, you could see if you have operating voltage on both side of all fuses, that is a better way of testing then the ohm test.

But dont go get toasted on my acount.. Wink

I know I am planning on using my Ecp with a smaller screen as soon as I get my 10pg up and running(just waiting on some spare boards for it and some extra tubes for my Ecp (along with a replacement high voltage power supply)

But I was talking about the weight between the two of my machines (I know now why it best to use a brighter(higher end) set I didn't notice how close I was to killing detail in bright sections till my cousin mentioned while we was playing games so I won't be pushing my little Ecp as hard once I get my 10pg running(wonder what I would get when it dies(tubes wise))

No but its not as safe(believe me I know from experience)

No body wants to be a human light bulb

Ive been over to the hospital on the heart monitor a fair few times due to electric shocks while at work. Its something that comes with the job as an electrician where you may be required to work on installations that may have been done by non qualified persons, which is highly illegal here due to the fact they really have no business in there in the first place. Australia's electrical standards are some of the highest in the world.

It is no problem making it safe, conecting probes with the power off, putting it back together, and power on, it just takes a long time to get anywhere, but its the good way to Work if your not comfortable, and 100% sure what your dealing with.

1 thing is sure it just wont go fix itself.. there is Work that need to be done..

i counted sinus waves on the supply to.. 1-2-3 and ½.. wow that one is kicking lol

I mostly worked on big industrial instalations.. The most times i been zapped has been working on stuff that normaly is 24v operating voltage,and it was not.. -thats where the rutine kicks in and make you forget safety.

Now when working on a 2KA supply rail i hold on to my dear life..

Some older electricians dident mind using the fingers as test probes. Thats a bit to hardcore to me.

Here we have HFI or HPFI in our houses, its a great safety relay.. when beeing unlucky, or just plain stupid.

I was referring to case with that post
I know we are talking about a marquee (case is used to barco projectors not elctrohome projectors)

The problem is not so much surviving the shock, it probably wont kill you if it doesnt go across your heart, but the internal burns that are difficult to treat can cause cardiac arrest even days later. There was a case here about 2 years ago where a bloke copped a boot working on a new installation and failed to get checked out at hospital afterwards, 2 days later he was sat down at smoko and died due to sudden heart failure, possibly caused by irregular beat brought about by the shock.

Except maybe a higher end projector(have a look at the ranking chart)

I have a elctrohome Ecp 4101 and a nec 10pg(the later is better then the former(much better))
