Nanao ms9 degauss

[virtvic]

I have now fitted the ms9 to my Naomi and it looks great. Only thing is a tiny bit of degauss needing doing.

I sorted it temporarily with a degaussing wand, as I am not sure how the wiring works on the amp plug.

The red and black set of stripey wires were (I think) for a degauss button on the sanwa monitor - but not sure if it's the same on this chassis?

Can someone confirm that shorting the 2 red & black stripey wires (with a button) will degauss my screen?

BUMP!

Anyone got an answer for me, Grant? Maybe?

Yup, just use a normal momentary switch/button. You can even just quickly touch the wires together if you want to

[grantspain]

yep-momentary action switch only

[virtvic]

Cheers, Grant - you diamond

Yup, just use a normal momentary switch/button. You can even just quickly touch the wires together if you want to A) Make pretty little sparks or B)Kill yourself

Have to admit i nearly suggested the same, think of the kids

[FrancoB]

Bah, its not like there is any real current going through the switch wires

What are these 'kids' things you speak of anyway?

But yeah, its probably best to use a switch

Yeah only 110v i think ? won't even make you clench your teeth

110v goes through the demag circuit, not though the wires that switch the demag circuit

Do you think some piddly 16/0.2 wire and a tiny switch would carry 110v

Ha ha no just as long as your sure they're the wires he's holding thats all

I'll get the wife to press the button.

Franco while we're on do you know what's the smallest wire regarded as safe to carry 110v?

[FrancoB]

I'm no expert mate but I think it depends on the current draw.

Ok, so I'm going to contradict myself here but it looks like you could use 16/0.2 for 240v at 3A

For 6A you can use 24/0.2 and for 13A you can use 40/0.2

These values are for 240v so any of them should be fine for 110v at the same loads.

I still don't think there will be 110v in the red/black striped degauss wires. I imagine they drive a relay or something.

I may go take a look at the schematics to find out.

Hi Mr V

I take it you are now up and running ok with this monitor, and we thought it would be a straight swap

Glad you seem to be sorted, almost

If you need anything else dont PM me

I wired the button up today and pressed it without any regard for my safety

Works a treat - cheers chaps!
