OK all... I have never heard of this, I have witnessed it, and am dumbfounded...A XENEX lamphouse zenon bulb meter is actually running backwards... No work has been done on this in over six months... and just thursday, the manager called me and made the claim...
I went over and personally viewed it running backwards...
What the hell is causing this??
Dave

I'm sorry I can't help you Dave, but when I read the title of this thread I got the giggles and couldn't stop. "Put your bulbs in our lamphouse and they'll get brighter with age!" LOL

Dear Dave,A time clock can occasionally run backwards.
In my electrical days I have seen electric clocks run backwards. It was always as simple as turning them off and restarting them. I believe it is where the sine wave is when the motor is actually turned on.
If it persists you will need to buy a new time clock as the motor is about had it.
Regards,
Michael.
