Hi!
I just received a nice argon set, psu 2214-40mla (the gold box), head 25mlup. It was working before it was shipped to me, and was probably really jolted during that ;-)
Actually, it does not work for me (I know... it's not "my laser is broken" forum)!
Symptoms are:
- psu correctly issues trigger signal command (5,5v across violet and green if I remember colors correctly), a bit low according to Sam's faq (??)
- I jumpered pins 1-3 and 2-13
- key is turned to on
- thermal interlock on the head is a short
- I checked all fuses in the psu, they're ok
- PS is set to 220v (I'm in France), I tried with a 110v transformer on the 110v setting, no change
- I can't get the psu to output DC+ (the hv 100v). I tried connecting only the round umbilical to the psu, and I checked for DC+ directly inside the PS: still nothing else than 0v.
- checked wiring from head to plugs, everything seems fine
Any hint?
Using the PS alone with no head at all, does someone know if jumpering the thermal interlock should get me DC+ out? Will it damage anything?
I can make measures if needed.
Many thanks for help.
Edit: Pictures will follow ;-)
