Author Topic: CP-650D Processor SMPS problem Peter John Anthony. C Film Handler Posts: 55 From: India Registered: Jun 2004 posted 08-14-2004 11:52 AM                     We had heavy rainfall on day before yesterday. At one corner there was water leakage in our projection room. Yesterday morning when we were preparing for the show & when we turned On. the CP-650D Processor it refuced to turn On & was on stand-by mode,so we played the entire movie on standby mode. Our Sound service engineer had come with a SMPS bord & replace the entire power supply card, which solved the problem. We really don't know what exactly was the cause of the problem. There was no water found on the sound rack. Any suggestion to prevent this types of problem in future will be appreciated. Thank you Sir in advance. Peter.  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

However, it is always a good practice to have some sort of surge supression on such equipment. The CP650 is not generally a problematic unit though.

You can also install one just on the main panel in the building and some have done this on past jobs, however this is not as effective at stopping building generated transients from heavy loads such as Popcorn machines and HVAC units. Interesting info on terms used in surge supression..... http://www.trapthezap.com/Page%202.htm Info on typical surge supressors....... http://www.energysmart.com/surge.htm Hope this helps, Mark @ CLACO  |  IP: Logged Peter John Anthony.

No one has ever called me Sir but Phil has other names for me that I allow to be used here on occasion..... Mark  |  IP: Logged
