New Laser PSU?

Post by Baffled »

Hello!

I have purchased a conversion kit for my K40, but as I was preparing for disassembly, I noticed that my Moshi boards are not powered by a PSU shown in numerous discussion boards and the main Laser PSU does not have labels over the terminals.

Does anyone have experience with this type of set-up?
If yes, can I simply remove the old hardware as the instructions are written and attempt to map out the Laser PSU terminals?

For reference, below is an image of my machine in its current state.

Thank You!

Hello!

Just an update, I mapped the connectors on the Laser PSU and found that the row on the left match the install documentation and wiring diagram. However, the right "Input" row of three connectors on the unit shown in the pic are flipped ... the Ground is on the far Right and the two AC Inputs are the first two on the Left side of the block.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Also, the diagram does not list one of the Laser PSU connectors as Load and the other as Common, does this matter?

Thank You,

No, it shouldn't matter. Some may have FG AC AC while some may have AC AC FG
Just follow it and you should be all right

The control terminals should be identical for most laser power supply manufactured in China. There are some exception and it is custom made. But for majority the controlling pins are identical
