jwpadgett Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I have two lumia 5.2 pucks on a fixure I am building and am not sure I'm wiring the two pucks together correctly. I could not use the interconnect wire because it was too short to span the 18" between my lights. Instead, I used two sets of the flying leads. I am using CAT5e cable from my control board to power the system. I have the output of one puck connected to the input of the other. I am using euro-style terminal blocks to connect everyting. My question is do the green wires always stay on channel one? A build linked to from the site shows otherwise, but that didn't make sense to me. Pics below of my fixture. If the green wire flips to channel 5 on an interconnect, can I just flip my "patch" cable between the two terminals to align the green to blue? Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 The connectors will work in either slot of the Lumia, so you could technically flip them around so the green wire is not always CH1, but how you have the one above, the green is CH1 on both ends. That being said, if on the other Lumia the connectors are reverse, be sure that connecting CH1 to CH1 and CH2 to CH2, etc. Each of the pins on the PCB have their CH number next to them.

jwpadgett Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 OK, so keeping channel 1 wired to channel 1 all the way from controller input to controller output is correct (sorry, not sure I understood you)? I should have the circuit go from brd1ch1-in -> brd1ch1-out -> brd2ch1-in -> brd2ch1-out ? Hope this is coherent... Link to comment
jwpadgett Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 should I get an ohms reading from channel1 in to channel1out when testing the board terminals. Trying to ensure I didn't kill the boards. Link to comment

Yes, that is exactly how to wire it should I get an ohms reading from channel1 in to channel1out when testing the board terminals. Trying to ensure I didn't kill the boards. Are you checking continuity (where the meter lights up or beeps)? Link to comment
jwpadgett Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 I have an analog sperry sp-6a, no beeps or lights . Yes, I'm testing continuity/resistance. Link to comment
jwpadgett Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 If I used my multimeter to test continuity/resistance on the puck, I should have an open circuit when testing between the molex pins on a channel, correct? If so, I'm getting nothing. Link to comment
jwpadgett Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 Ok, according the 7-up LDD board manufacturer, I have the drivers installed backwards. Link to comment
jwpadgett Posted March 11, 2015 Author Share Posted March 11, 2015 Thanks for all those that helped me to get this light working. Here's a pic of the finished light in action! Link to comment
