I'm looking for some info on the Master Series Elite as well.

 

I need some info about the Power distribution for this model. I've metered the upper stage as well as the lower J-Box. This is what I found and need to know if this is the way it should be.

 

 

Upper Stage:

 

3 pin main power- not regulated (if the battery is supplying 16v the output is 16v)

4 pin Lemo's- 12v regulated

 

 

Lower J Box:

 

Power out for recorder- regulated

4 pin Lemo- not regulated

 

Monitor power- not regulated

 

 

I did a show and used productions Anton Bauer Hytron 140's. Pulled them right off of the charger and onto the rig. The result, I burned up a small 3" LCD monitor and my original green screen is not working correctly. I don't know if I fried the green screen monitor with the high voltage from the Anton Bauer's or if it was damaged during the flight back from my last gig. The green screen's picture is shifted and compressed 3/4 to the left.

 

What is the voltage input range for the monitor? 12v-?

 

So, do I have a Rig power issue, or is my green screen dead from age?

 

Any info on where i can get the green screen fixed?

Hey Steadiz,

 

First, please introduce yourself using your full name as the rest of us have. We much prefer to help regular people rather than virtual identities.

 

The Master Elite has no 4pin LEMOs unless someone has modified it. My guess is you're referring to the Vid/Power Hirose connectors on the front and back of the top stage, as well as at the base of the sled.

 

A small LCD could definitely have been fried by a single Anton Bauer battery if it was not rated for the voltage. However, I would be very surprised if it was an AB battery that has messed up your CRT. I don't know what the exact specifications of the monitor are, but I'm sure they're very accepting of an AB's voltage range. You might need to simply adjust the alignment of your picture by tweaking one or two pots inside your monitor. Do not do so without expert instruction however, as you can easily harm yourself or the monitor.

 

Best of luck,

Afton
