Fleeting Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Good afternoon, Does anyone have the circuit diagram for the Pyroflash 6/24 controller. Ours failed over christmas. Says that is all working but doesn't output the firing pulse (suspect the capacitors have dried out) Thanks in advance Ian.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 ...suspect the capacitors have dried out...Unlikely. Or more accurately, if they have then the fault will be different to the one described. A common fault on the 6/24 is that the rotary ABCD switch gets loose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wingwalker Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Are you getting failure across all channels? One common yet lesser known fault with Le Maitre kit is that the "C" shaped pins within the sockets on both the controllers and pods can tend to widen thus reulting in a misfire through lack of contact when plugs are inserted or removed repeatedly over a long period of time. A quick reduction of the pins (but not closure) using some long nose pliers - ensuring power is off of course - can easily, quickly and cost effectively reduce any issues against misfires. Not all of the sockets will have issues at the same time but its worth keeping a check on each one as you go. As with anything, don't play around if you are not sure what to do :) Hope this helps.
