Ricochet UK Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 Hello, I am looking for the Schematic's for the PCB in a Martin Atomic 3000 strobe. I understand these might be hard to find as there not on the Martin website,I just thought I would ask you helpful people on here what you think, Or the other way to look at it is if anyone has a broken or faulty Atomic strobe or PCB Bord's thay want to get rid of, that might also be a help to us, I know on the scrounge againhttp://www.blue-room.org.uk/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gifhttp://www.blue-room.org.uk/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif Thanks for your help Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 Have you emailed Martin about your problem?When my Fibresource QFX150s died they were very quick to send me a partial schematic, although it only temporarily fixed the problem as it turned out that there was a serious underlying software fault.

Ricochet UK Posted February 1, 2006 Author Share Posted February 1, 2006 Thanks for your reply, Yes I did contact Martin by phone and they did not really want to help as I did not have an account with them (even Thu I sell there products which I buy from Electrovision) But anyway thay basically told me to call AC Lighting, who could only give me a price for a new compleae PCB Bord,, hmm,, not really what I want to do, Thanks Again, Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnhuson Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 I doubt wether there would be a lot you could repair on a broken board even if you have the schematic as the circuit boards use surface mounted components. Unless you have specialist tools, then it would be quite difficult. There are schematics available for the Atomic 3000 but they are only available if you have at least technician level access to the support site. As your profile states you have attended a Martin service course I'm suprised you don't have this already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masterogeek Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 If you have been on a martin training course you will have access to the training website, the same username and password will give you access to the lighhting support section here. From here you should be able to view the circuit diagram. Martin do offer a refurb board service which is a lot cheaper than buying a brand new one, especially for the atomic which is very little more than a pcb and a lamp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekij Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Is there any chance of you posting a pic of the board?If it's as simple as people claim the probable failures areStep up Coil burnt outSelf resetting fuse has decided not to self resetOutput power component has diedTrack burnt off boardI take it there is no evidence of physical damage to any component (or any sign of the magic smoke escaping)?

Ricochet UK Posted February 2, 2006 Author Share Posted February 2, 2006 http://img139.imageshack.us/img139/9483/atomic5jn.jpg Hello, thanks for all you help, very quick reply as I dont have much time at the mo, Yes there is damidge to the PCB bord if you look at the picture you will see 3 Resistors (R127 & £134? along with R179?) thay are the parts I need the value for, then all going well the track can be reapared and the resistors replaced and hopefully it should be back working ok, :) Talk to you soon, Andrew, - Image link fixed. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterOTea Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 R127 - 1 ohmR134 - 470 ohmR179 - 6.8K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekij Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 R127 - 1 ohmR134 - 470 ohmR179 - 6.8KWhere are you getting these values?The colour codes on R127 show it as 100 Ohmand on R134 as 2k2. (2200 Ohm)R179 is burnt beyond recognition but as it's the protection resistor for the LED it should be easy to work out (measure the voltage, subtract about 1.7V for the LED and select a resistor for about 10mA).

MasterOTea Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 I got the values from the parts list and the schematic diagram. part numbers R127 04180100R134 04170364R179 04170480 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterOTea Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 The burnt out resistor below R127 is R136, 22R Ohm, 1% 0.4W, Minimelf, 04180232 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
