Dose anyone have a manual or wiring diagram for this rectifier.
The rectifier is an
ORC
Model# RPS-X1000
Input 120v, 20A, 60Hz
Output 20VDC, 18-42 Amps
Thanks

Bill, do you have a picture of it so we can see basically what it looks like?

Just on a whim, might it have the same circuit as the equivalent "integrated" power supply for the X-1000 lamp?:

I have already checked the manuals online none match, I opened it up today and check everything alot of parts look new. Here are some pictures.

Bill, some of that stuff looks very similar to the power supply the M-1000 uses. You might want to do some comparison between the M-1000 and what you have, and do some reverse engineering. It may give you enough info to go on. [Smile]

Paul's right. It looks like if you took the exhaust fan off and replaced it with a reflector, you'd have the integrated unit.

It is the M1000 rectifier section in a seperate box and is probably better capable of working longer because of the reduced heat effect of not having the lamp beside it

Thanks guy I downloaded the manual and was able to get it work. It took some time to figure it out the person that had it before me had it wired for a special automation he made up for himself.

Bill, be sure not to go over a 700 watt lamp when using it. All that stuff was de-rated by ORC fomr 1kw to .7kw a long time ago.... Don't worry, the .7kw lamp puts out the same amount of lumens as the 1kw lamp does. Partly due to the fact that the .7 kw lamp envelope is much smaller.

Thanks for the info Mark I was orginally going to use it on my 1K lamphouse but now I will my use 500watt lamphouse.

Actually they never rated it for 1K it was designed of use with ORC lamphouses under the impression that there 700 watt lamphouse put out the same light as a 1000w verticle design did
