Title: Power Supply for Cham II+ and meter questions
Post by: Foster on November 19, 2008, 09:20:27 PM
I have a unique situation.


The S+ Top box is full of 2 power supplies and 2 controllers
Which is blocking the light in the top box.
1 Cham II+ and its power supply (the Cham II is actually in a metal case. (acquired from lemans69)
2 IGT Spectrum PS and controller. PS 12VDC @ 8 amps. 96W.

What is the 5V and 12V ampere ratings needed by the Cham II+?

I know this is not the answer to your question.........but the power supplies have a unique shape with Fins on both sides.


For the reason you describe I have seen these bolted through the fins into the top of the cabinet Vs just sitting in the top box.

That would work but I forgot to mention its a Round Top

Perhaps Bend the fins ?

It would just have a gap between the curve and the sides.

Jay good Ideas

I took a good look at the spectrum PS it has 4 holes in the back that will allow me to mount it upside down against the back of the top box above the flourescent light.
upside down does not block as much of the light as being right side up does.
K+ for you

Added:
In fact it worked perfectly.
Glass is illuminated evenly.

Solution found thanks

if you like that Just wait until you hear my ideas about cats and duck tape.......  :72-

Gald it worked out - kudos. I can't take all the creidt.  I have one of those behind the payglass progressives in addition to my LED4s and CON1 and the IGT progressive it didn't come with the fancy mounting shelf. I found 4 screw offsets on the left side of all of my machines that match this IGT board.

I will be happy with the spectrum's and the Cham II+'s.

Once I get the S2000 and its Spectrum II to talk to each other.
Right now they are not on speaking terms, for whatever reason.
Machine says Spectrum not responding or Spectrum not configured, and the spectrum scrolls NO DATA.
I am going to try some things in the key chip menu once I get it enabled.
