How do you have your Magic set up? - TanToday - Helping Salon Owners, One At A Time, Since 2000!

With the glass
RST settings
Incoming Voltage
Lamp level

UVRays · 18th May 2005, 08:52 PM

Full Mug 6 glass
Don't even have the large body fan installed...runs very cool.

Lamps at level 6 on top.
Level 4 on bottom.

130 hours on the bed.
Still running at 380 volts on secondary side
Feed is 217V...but it converts it to 380 anyway with the trans former...doesn't matter too much what incoming is...

Can still tap to 480 on secondary when needed.
It's an absolute gentle beast.

I could easily crank it to level 8 on top and tweak all but parts of the back side to level 6 with no heat issues.

Whats RST?

R,S,T are the phase adjustments that you can make.I don't really see much reason to adjust the phases unless you expeirience lamp flickering .Usually set at about 232 seems good.

The secondary taps are 380 and 400, not 480. The 400 is for real low incoming voltage.

OK, I remember now.....My Magic pulls a solid 95 to 107 amps per leg through the whole session and we did some swapping tp try and balance the legs.

Brian, isn't thier a seconday tap to bang it up to 480V once you peak out lamp life on level 8 at 380?

I was told that the RST setting which is from 0 to 255 is for lamp intensity when hitting the lamp button and then the + or - buttons..

If you set at 0 you will get a broader range of lamp control compared to 255.. example if set at 0 it will go from 130 to 70 on the 5.0 meter and if you set at 255 you will get a reading at high at 130 and it will lower it to 90

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong

get off the 480 thing already.

The transformer has Primary, or incoming taps for two voltages, 208v and 240v. This provides flexibility for differing types of USA voltage. It's one or the other. One connected, these will not change.

The transformer takes that incoming voltage and steps it up to 380v with an option of a second 'tap' of +5%, or 400v, for those with lowered incoming voltage, and the ability to 'boost' the output in the second half of lamp life to maintain regulated lamp output

OK Spark...Got it. The install guys said it was 480....

Thanks
