The Lume-x manual is already here on film-tech on the manuals page. The Xetron power supply is a single phase unit as denoted by the "X1" part of the model number. Sometimes Xetron had several different model power supply schematics/parts lists inserted with lamphouse manuals.The Xetron power supplies are made by IREM in Italy. IREM/Xetron power supplies were also distributed with Cinemeccanica lamphouses which were distributed in the USA by Xetron!

Contact Bob Maar (Joke-A-Thon) at Neumade. They are a distributor for IREM. He may be able to get your needed book.

If its one of the supplies with the big wheel on the top to adjust the current, they are a very good supply. However they do not always supply enough no-load voltage to properly make Strong (and some other) lamps ignite, and modifications have to be made to the igniter boards in the lamphouse. I believe Gordon has the info you seek in that regard.-Aaron
