Power supply * beta brite* alpha 215 led display n.i.b
THIS ADAPTER WORKS ON BETA BRITE MODELS 1026, 1040, AND ALPHA 215-C, OR 215-R. IT WILL NOT WORK WITH THE MODEL 1036, (213-C)
I HAVE TRIED TO MAKE THIS AS SIMPLE AS POSSIBLE FOR THE AVERAGE USER.
HERE ARE A FEW THINGS TO LOOK FOR WHEN YOU ENCOUNTER A PROBLEM.:
#1 AT INITIAL START UP, THE SIGN SHOULD MAKE AN AUDIBLE "BEEP" 3 TIMES TO SIGNIFY THE SIGN IS "BOOTING UP" CORRECTLY TO THE EPROM MEMORY, OTHERWISE THERE IS A HARDWARE OR EPROM ISSUE.
#2 DO NOT STRESS THE "PIN AND BLADE" RECEPTACLE WHERE THE POWER ADAPTER PLUGS IN TO THE SIGN! IT WILL BECOME SLOPPY FITTING AND CAN LOOSE CONTACT INTERMITTENTLY AND CAUSE REPEATED RESTARTS AND OTHER PROBLEMS.
#3 THESE SIGNS ARE DESIGNED FOR INDOOR USE ONLY UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED.
#4 THE OUTPUT OF THE POWER SUPPLY CAN BE CHECKED USING A VOLTMETER SET FOR A/C VOLTAGE AND SHOULD READ 8 TO 8.5 VOLTS OPEN CIRCUIT VOLTAGE. MEANING UNDER NO LOAD.
#5 ALL TRANSFORMERS WILL GENERATE HEAT WHILE IN OPERATION. HEAT IS THE ENEMY!! DURING PROLONGED USE OR OPERATING IN HOT WEATHER, PLACE THE TRANSFORMER IN A SHADED OR VENTILATED AREA IF POSSIBLE. TO PROLONG ADAPTER LIFE, PLACE THE ADAPTER ON AN OLD ALUMINUM COMPUTER CPU HEATSINK (EASILY FOUND) TO DISSIPATE HEAT LIKE A RADIATOR .
