Irem AS-16040A Igniter/ Lamp won't strike

[MarinBNM]

Hello;

 

does anybody have wirring diagram for Irem AS-16040A igniter?

 

I'm using horizontal xenon lamp which anode "+" is conected to HV output of igniter!

 

Happy New Year 2007!

 

 

Tnx!

hello marin. i use such an igniter in my 7kw lamp housing. there's only one problem with this type. the small so called electronics isn't very good. it stops working after 500h, the resistor was selfdesoldert. it's better to use a selfmade one outside the ingniter. this type is working at any kind of polarity or ac/dc power supply of the lamp.

I figured out a wiring of Igniter.....the problem I've got is that lamp won't ignite every time (500W horizontal)...

 

Rectifier is mine homebrew...but isn't problem, because another projector with 900W vertical strikking without any problems at all! Also I try to put different igniter but same problem remains!

 

But when I put higher current I get lamp ignite, and then I raise down current......lamp is new (newer worked but made in about 1986).

This may be a problem with the capacity of the condensor between +and-. If the not load voltage is too low or the condensor too small, the lamp wouldn't ignite when its hot. some ignitier had a lönger ignitiontime, so the lamp starts burning.

We are talking about condensor in rectifier? No load voltage is 92V so that wouldn't present problem......and with same rectifier another projector working fine, also try to change ignitor in this one but problem remains.

 

I will try to change capacitor....but is new I think.

 

Could be problem in lamp?
