I've got an igniter from a Christie CH20 that won't ignite a lamp (cycles & arcs). The wiring to the terminal strip, on inspection, is burned, exposed & corroded in spots.

The igniter isn't on the schematic in the manual. Does anyone have one? And does anyone have suggestions for bench testing it?

Getting a Christie igniter to trigger is very easy. But sorry - no picture, no schematic...

William,

Look in the MANUALS section under Christie H30 H40 lamps where there is a generic form of the Igniter you are looking for.

The "Installation & Operation of SLC Series Xenon Console SLC 20/30/40/45/45R/70" (TD-641) has many of Christie's igniter schematics (old and new) under the Appendix B: Additional Diagrams.
