For Some Time Now,,, 8-10 Years Now,,,
(Sweeew How Time Flies)
France Says Self Adjust 2k~9k,,,I have noticed that If I,,, Minimum or Max The Load,,,
2k or 9k,,, These Power Supplies Fail!!! But When The Load Is Right,,, I Have Not Have One Fail Yet. Even Though The Rating Is 2k~9K~34ma,,, When I Load My Lamps,,, With The Milliamp Gauge,,, I Use A 9k 30ma France magnetic Transformer,,, The Reading Should Be In The Accepted Range Of The MA Chart Reading,
I Use Transcos MA Gauge & Chart.When I Used these Power Supplies At Around 2k Load,,, makes the EPS Operate Hot,,, With Early Failure!!!
Maxing Out The Load 9K,,, The E power Supplies Lasted longer,,, But Still Failed 2-3 Years later.
The Other Thing I do,,,Is The Wiring Needs To Be Specific,,, If Not The E Power Supply Will Shut Off. (or die)
All these Experiences Are With Neon Window Signs I Have Built And Installed and I Have Watched like children.
I have 10 year Old Signs,Operating With France E-Neon Power Supplies,,,Never been Serviced!!!
I Have Some Signs With France Magnetic Transformers Operating Over 20 Years!!!
Never Been Serviced!!!For Me,,, Its All About The Load & Wiring!!!
(just because the EPS Lights The Lamps,,,
Does Not Mean It Will Keep Lighting The Lamps)Right Or Wrong This Is my Technic,,, and My Experiences!!! With E~Neon Power Supplies.
I do Use Other E~power Supplies, TFT,,,
West coast Supply Has Cool Stuff!!!
CPI E~Power Supplies, Are Good Too!!!Jerry Strealy Neon~Portland Oregon
