Delta5 - little help needed


zmx

Recommended Posts

hallo,

 

I need a little help with an old Delta5 installation.

2 Delta5 are used as simple analog switches connected to the mercury motor buttons (each channel is switched using one motor button)

 

My problem is, that it is just a simple installation with small loads.

1. 4x25W UV (power-safe neon bulb? don't know the english word)

2. 4x15W ministrob

3. 1x12V/25W AC Transformator

4. 1x12V/10W AC "

5-8 should be used to switch some basic effects like strobs or moonflowers

 

the problem is that the delta gives enough power to switch these parts on without beeing switch on.

 

I have read about the neon installation with the 100K resistor used in the output circuit, but that doesn't help.

I have also read about a preheat option, but couldn't locate any more information.

 

Any hint how to fix this problem - thanks

 

(I find out connecting a standart bulb parallel on each channel the unswitched basic power is dropped down, but then the UV bulbs beginn flickering)

I think that the delta's may have developed another fault that is causing the analogue inputs to float regardless of the incomming control signal.

I will PM you with a couple of things that you may be able to try.
