LX200 (classic) 18 Volt version

Hello everyone,

I'll try to be brief. My question is:

I have an LX200 10" (non gps) that runs from the 120v AC power supply that is supplied with the scope.

The output voltage on the pack is 20.77 volts DC (scope turned off)

Turning the scope on drops the voltage to 18.50-18.65 volts DC. (normal under load)

Wouldn't powering up the scope cause it to briefly expose it to 20-21v? I realize the LX200 main board has many, many problems (depending on which revision) some including different ground voltages...which shouldn't be there.

Has anyone had problems that were caused by faulty power supplies, besides the fuse blowing.


My scope is working great... Just worried about spikes.

Your thoughts?


Thanks,

Philip

Don't worry, that is normal operation.
