Why would you wire it directly to +12 for units without resistors and to the varying voltage on the other side of the resistor on units with one?

They've only been making these things for 20 years, and their manual still has such an obvious mistake in it. I'd like to suggest that, in the case of the Crane XR700, it actually makes no dif; /html/triumphs/2001-07/msg00368.html (9,281 bytes)

Re: ballast resister voltage drop - electrical guru needed (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Tue, 10 Jul 2001 07:50:23 -0700; Well, assuming it has ICs, that's exactly what I meant by "the amplifier for the signal". Right, unless of course they are CMOS equivalents, good to about 3 volts. And they would also require a modes; /html/triumphs/2001-07/msg00390.html (11,368 bytes)
