Yes you've guessed it folks, yet another one of those "doesn't work" questions from a newby.
Firstly can someone guide me through the start up sequence for the Spectra 261 B argon Ion. just in case I am doing something completely stupid. Let me know what all the LEDs mean, and should they be lit or not !
( and when should they be let and when shouldn't they ! )
Symptoms are as follows : only standby led comes on. no others, all fans work, switches set to "light" and " local" ( usual two pins on remote jumped). turn key, meter jumps off the scale (12A+ ) , after 30 odd seconds PSU internal relay heard to click once and laser head then starts to tick continuously. no light emission. After 20 odd ticks I switch off using the key ( let fans run), so not to trash PSU.
playing with the variable current pot on the side of the PSU has no effect.
cannot see what is going on inside the tube as it is metal ! however element checks out OK.
best regards.
all replies appreciated.
