I have a 1997 ULS 25E.....Pretty sure the 28Vpower supply is not functioning properly. I determined this because the service manual says:
(Paraphrased)
If the laser does fire and the fans do not come on, there may be a problem with the 28V power supply, or the stand-by mode has been activated.
To test remove the purple/white wire from the stand-by trigger. If this does not fix the problem you may have a problem with the power supply.
OK, I did this and still have a problem, darn! So I checked the power supply voltage in and out.
I have 110 volts in. That looks good.
No volts out, should have 28 V DC out.
Seems like this is a bad power supply.
I have a call in to ULS Service but its Friday night. So pulled the power supply from the frame so I can get to the data plate.
its made by Mega Power Systems
Model MG1-1G
Serial 70812121
No luck searching the web for this manufacturer, model or serial. Might have found the manufacturer in Chatsworth California but the phone # is discontinued and they do not appear to have a website.
Any suggestions? Am I missing further diagnostics? Any idea of replacement cost?
I know this is an old obsolete machine but I would like to keep it going until the tube quits.
Thank you in advance,
Mike Ross
