Synchronome - Distribution Board
|
Andy Barclay1
I have had this distribution board for a few years. I believe it is in working order but I have no idea how to power the board or supply it with a pulse. I have synchronome Master with a few attached dials and a stadium synchronome all working but not within easy reach of the board, so I would needs some sort of pulse generator for the board.
Can anyone in the group supply instructions on how I can power this board... Thanks

II have adunchronome distibution board and have looked into how it works and might be able to help..But I can't open the file you've sent..can you re-post it as a .jpg (inage file) or explain how to open the one above..cheers..Roger

It is a JPG file double click and it should open for you.

Andy, That,s better, I can view it now. It looks like a number of similar units from different manufacturers and I wonder if there is a makers name or any other clues available. Perhaps a picture of the inside would reveal the style of secondary dials used. I have a G&J six way unit that takes the 30 sec impulse to operate a relay, in my case a double pole double throw octal base type, whose contacts can carry the sum of the loop currents. As they say a picture is worth many words. Kind regards Peter UK

Just as I'd solved it..the answers appeared :-) Does it have 1 or more printed circuit boards inside the cabinet ? Please confirm that the small dials are standard 30 sec steppers...Inside pic would be good..Roger

Unfortunately it's totally different fronm the distro board I have..However I'll try a guess.. It looks like you have to choose a battery voltage high enough to deal with the loop with the maximum number of dials...If you don't plan to run a loop on any of them, then only a 6 volt battery will be more than enough. So the current in the master clock circuit would run thru the Gravity arm reset mag, the Mclock's own dial if fitted and the relay in your cabinet... Roger..

Hi Andy, Thanks for the pictures. I looks like the input is to the plastic terminals at the top of the case that then drive the relay with transient suppression by the paper capacitor and wirewound resistor. Each circuit is separately fused and the individual currents adjusted by varying the respective rheostat. By placing the jack plug into each circuit the current taken by that circuit can be monitored on the meter. I can't add much more without tracing the circuit around the relay but if you have an queries just let me know and I will try to help. Kind regards Peter, UK
