Need help with Enabling an ASTEC POWERTECH 9K24-45-271 24V 45A Switchmode PS
Hello I am as bad as but only much worse than the old lady watching home shopping network collecting Hubbles, Plates, Etc.
My Primary 2 Obsessions have been collecting since retired/disabled in 1999,
Bosch PTZ CCTV Camera System Equipment and with High Power 808NM Laser Equipment.
I have built a 20K 532NM ILDA Laser Projector, albeit a measly 50 Milliwatts, I did obtain a Pangolin ILDA Lasershow Driver 20 Years Ago.
I am most recently beginning to try to cobble together my innumerable 25-160 Watt 808NM FAP Fiber Diode Lasers, Peltier Assemblies, TEC Controllers, Astec Power Supplies, My still never used albeit ancient 200 Amp 600 Watt Newport RS-232 Configurable 4 Channel Newport Laser Diode Driver into some decent L-Fold or Z-Fold or X-Cavity DPSS 808NM Dual Fap Laser Diode Pumped 1064/532nm Green Laser of 3-30 Watts.
I obtained 3 Coherent FAP Style Peltier 24V/12A Aluminum Heat Sinks with used approximate 808NM I pray by Temp Controlled Tuning with ? 15-35 Watt Fap Diodes.
I pulled out a 12VDC/7AH Lead Acid Gel Cell Alarm Style back up battery to see at first if the peltiers might still be usable. They are wired as 2 pairs of 12VDC/12Amp Peltiers in series.
My battery was not fully charged to 13.8VDC but only barely 12+. I got a meager 2.2Ampere Draw and cooling. So at least their not open circuited.
I started digging through my stuff and smiled after spotting the huge 1100 Watt/ 24VDC / 45 Amp power Supply, realizing it could potentially easily power/cool both FAP Laser Coolers if I integrated a decent mosfet driven TEC Controller.
Anyhow I looked at the power supply it 120-240VAC It has a Common/Ground Terminal And Low/High 120/240Vdc Hot Terminal Taps
However After setting it to low 120Vac and trying the dual 2nd option wire on both A and B marked terminals it would not power up.
It has a 6 terminal molex connector that must be the enabling circuit,
I being a retired electronic tech started looking for an optoisolator after endless searches failed for a schematic or user manual.
After looking at what the driver board contained, I am pretty certain that a single SCR is the heart of starting up this supply if it even works and does not require repairs.
I pray someone anyone has had some Experience with this series Astec power supplies and can enlighten me as to the 6 pin molex connectors configuration.
Here is a description:
ASTEC POWERTEC / SUPER SWITCHER SERIES
MODEL: 9K24-45-271
ASTEC P/N: 080-24666-002
AC INPUT: 115/230V 20A/10A INPUT CURRENT
DC OUTPUT: 24V @ 45A
TOTAL MAX OUTPUT POWER 1100W
Thanks in advance to either a former/current user of one of the many current/voltage configurations this series of Astec Power supplies or to anyone kind enough to share their mad Electrical Engineering or Electronic Tech Skill Set.
I tried to determine where this supply might have in 1990's been used in industry.
There are some indications it was used in 2 brands organs.
