Looks like we have a nice critical mass. I am going to have to get busy with placing the production order.

 

[kurand]

so where are we at with this interest list? should we be pre-ordering any time soon? if so, how/where? what’s the timeline for production?

 

[xrk971]

Sorry I had not gotten this moving. I think the next step is for me to put up a pre-order item on my Etsy shop and people can place orders. Once I get enough, I’ll start production.

Hi X,

I am in the process of building a new chassis for my FX9HV and parts. I seemed to have lost my lo-cap psu's that I was using with the RTRSSR DC protection boards. Please have a look at the attached image of a helper board and one of the DC protection boards from 2019.

Can I mate them together and use 1 fully populated helper board with 2 DC protection boards?.

Thanks,
MM

 

[jhofland]

absolutely. If you look carefully, there are two output connectors expressly for that purpose.

Thanks jhofland for the quick reply. One more quick question if I may:

I am using a dual mono setup with All Cee's psu, referring to the schematic in post 943, if I am using 2 wires from the transformer secondaries to the small psu, do I connect those 2 wires to pins 1 & 3 on the AC input (J2) of the small psu, and then run a wire from ground on the All Cee's to the pin 2 (com on J2) on the AC input of the small psu. I would then leave D1 and D2 unpopulated.

Hopefully I got this correct?
Thanks for the help,
MM

@jhofland and @xrk971, any help on the previous post #993. I am unsure of the wiring and the number of diodes that should be used.
Thanks for the help

 

[xrk971]

Hi Myles,
If you are powering the little helper board with secondaries from your amp trafo, only use two diode D3 and D4. Connect COM to your PSU GND if using same internal trafo secondaries. I know this is tricky and if not done right can blow the diodes. Check output to make sure it is correct and working before connecting to SSR board. Observe polarity - check with DMM.

 

[Kokanee]

Thanks X,
I think I got it. I will post a pic of the setup before testing to make sure.

Hi X, 1 more question / help about the little helper board: Can it be supplied from the 2 pin Molex on the FH9HVX amp board ?. If possible, how would the wiring of the helper board change ?. Looking at the schematic, I do not think this is possible, but thought I would ask.
Thanks,
MM

 

[xrk971]

No, because the helper board expects AC from the trafo secondaries. If you powered it from the dc on the amp, it would not have the small capacitance value to bleed down immediately after shutdown to prevent turn off thump.

 

[Kokanee]

Thanks X. I thought that would be your answer.
