Author Topic: Irem AS-16040 Igniter Demetris Thoupis Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1240 From: Aradippou, Larnaca, Cyprus Registered: Apr 2001 posted 06-04-2005 08:29 AM                     Does anyone has a block diagram with the exact connections on this igniter? I got one and I am trying to set up a lamphouse for a friend and I don't have the details. I downloaded the one from the Irem website but not much detail as to connection pinouts.

If you check my original post is dated from 2005! By the way Happy New Year. I got the diagram from Irem and thank them for their swift support. Anyway thanks for the help but I sorted it out almost 2 years ago and the lamphouse is working perfect ever since.

Rectifier has 120V open voltage, and when I connect it to 900W lamp house on other projector is working without problems, so rectifier is OK. But on this Prevost with Irem igniter it strikes about when i try 10 times or more.....can be problems because this igniter is for bigger bulb (is mentioned up to 160A) or may bee because high voltage is coming to + (Anode) of bulb?? On this machine is mentioned to be a AS3040 small igniter, but I can't find original, but this aslo fits in it. I did also try this 500W bulb on other machine with same rectifier, works ok.  |  IP: Logged John Walsh Film God Posts: 2490 From: Connecticut, USA, Earth, Milky Way Registered: Oct 1999 posted 02-15-2008 08:27 AM                     120 VDC does seem high. I usually see about 75VDC for older IREMS and about 90VDC for newer models. I emailed you and Brad a copy of some specs for older IREM ignitors.  |  IP: Logged Raphael Friedland Film Handler Posts: 37 From: Raanana Israel Registered: Nov 2005 posted 02-16-2008 04:47 AM                     Martin If you are talking of Prevost portable projector The problem is that the high voltage is jumping to the ground The positive lead is to close the chassis There is not enough space between the reflector and the front metal part of the lamp house Try to isolate the lead with silicon tube  |  IP: Logged Marin Zorica Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 671 From: Biograd na Moru, Croatia Registered: May 2003 posted 02-16-2008 10:32 AM                     Yes, Prevost portable is here. The problem is solved and it was in sparking gap, I did replace sparking gap with some mine and reset distance in it, to get electrodes closer, now is starting without problems!! Here I did insulate wire, but I tought to insulate it with some teflon tube. Also for the record, this version of P-86X is running slow, 21 frames/secound....I did gave motor belt wheel to make bigger, to get more rpm.  |  IP: Logged
