I am trying to run a big sky 2000W Lamphouse with a christie FXM1600-02S rectifier. Can someone help me with the terminations between them? I have heard that an extra relay is required but I can't figure out why. Any help would be great. Thanks guys!

The Big Sky is designed to work with an IREM rectifier. The IREM uses a 220v relay which expects to see a contact closure from the lamphouse.

The Christie rectifier is identical, so it should connect the same. Louis

I was hoping that would be the case. Thanks Louis!
