Lexel 95 head Wiring schematic

[Fotobysw]

Does anyone have a wiring schematic for a Lexel 95-2 head with a Model 503 Temperature-Controlled Etalon Assembly. I am wanting to hook it up to a 88 ps @ 220v input voltage. I have a 85shg head that is bad. Now I want to hook the 95 head to the 88 ps. I know I don't have the power hook-up for the etalon in the 88 ps but was also wondering if it can be used not hooked up.

You have a spare white wire in the umbilical on pin F. that means, with care, that you can power the etalon.

I'll post the schematics later in the day,

But MR Fotobysw, you only post when you need something, which ticks me off.

Mark may have this, just texted him to ask...

Actually call Cambridge lasers and talk to Brian Bohan (sp), he probably has a PDF for ya.

You just had to do that didnt you.

Why waste Brian's time. BTW I know him personally. Hint, Brian likes to help people, save it for when your really in a jam. I WILL post the corrected data.
And I doubt he'd pull a PDF. Not his style.

Now your just gonna get him drawings and let him blow his supply when a 85 scientific and a 95 scientific and a 88 OEM have slight differences in the internal grounding, and if he hooks the wrong return line up to the etalon it will go boom. There is a subtle difference in the interlock wiring too, and direct connection of a 95 sci head to a 88 OEM without changing that can go boom as well.

Keeperx,how irresponsible of you.

oh well that was Marks suggestion, he said that Brian would probably have the PDF handy..

i just got the phone number and extension from the website and auto attendant.

I've done that conversion, many times, as 88 will nicely run a 95-4 but usually not go much beyond lighting a 95-6 , that way I can test 95 heads in the garage.

But you did not know, and I doubt Brian would realize, the difference in the interlock wiring. I had a student at my previous employer "cross the streams" and I know what comes next when a 95 SCI goes into a OEM. Its a subtle one pin difference in the interlock, and it results in a nice Kaboom at 3 kilowatts of power, thus setting him up for a massive repair. Brian's tech would know it, and there is also a difference in the cathode transfomer. Just doing a direct connect without informing the guy of the proper tap method is irresponsible. Older ION lasers are NOT turnkey, you have to set them up correctly or the fireworks are spectacular and expensive, or the tube life can be drastically shortened.

STAY OUT OF WHAT YOU DO NOT KNOW!

well i was not in it.. i just knew that mark had a Lexel95 and was trying to get some info for this guy.

I was just passing on the suggestion given by someone that owns a similar laser..

dont shoot the messenger..

NO, you suggested he goes full steam ahead and try to do a uninformed hack.

YOU HAVE NO DEFENSE ON THIS ONE.
