NTJP Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Think I may have fried my Pixcon 16 board. Had a RJ45 jack housing come off when unplugging cat5 cable. Guess it shorted out. So now my board does not work. Have power to both banks. Checking manual and it says there is a.5a logic fuse. Where is this fuse. I cannot find it. Then next question would be.... Where do I get a new fuse if this is what's wrong. Also new board is out of stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NTJP Posted December 11, 2019 Author Share Posted December 11, 2019 Update... Checked ports and they are showing 12.05 volts. So there is power going to the ports. However the power and status lights are not lighting up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have that page bookmarked. BTW, the LOR manual and the one you linked show the same fuse location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k6ccc Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 I don't have a Pixcon controller, so I can only go by the manual. Looking at the picture, it would appear to be the fuse between the aux power out connector and the bank 2 power inlet connections. It appears that it is labeled as Fuse1.

TheDucks Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 I used the Manual also It is next to the Fan connector. If it is 3A, someone might have already over fused it (3A, being something your Car might use for a clock/alarm) 4 hours ago, NTJP said: Sent a ticket to help desk and they cannot answer this question.

sysco Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 (edited) what i have is bank 9-16 power connection then Fan Out after that is Fan Fuse 3 amp 3 minutes ago, TheDucks said: I used the Manual also It is next to the Fan connector. If it is 3A, someone might have already over fused it (3A, being something your Car might use for a clock/alarm) Yes it is, just wondering if they did away with it same color dark blue or mauve but 3 amps i think it was suppose to be for an external fan Edited December 12, 2019 by sysco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, .5 sounds a little thin for a fan (it would have to be a 2" or smaller) and the boards logic (which could also power for a ELL WHICH APPEARS ON THE RJ45💡 that had issues) Power is supplied by Bank 1 to the fuse (the one between Bank 1 power IN-Fan and bank 2 power in.

NTJP Posted December 17, 2019 Author Share Posted December 17, 2019 I did get a reply from LOR and they said the logic fuse is the fan fuse. Which is 3 amps. Mine is good, I have also checked and there is power to all ports and to the RJ45 jack has power. It appears I have lost all data. I am still confused why the power light does not come on. LOR stated when the RJ45 jack broke it could have crossed wires and sent power into the board damaging the board. I do not think it is worth sending back and fixing. I am also running a Falcon 48 so I replaced the board with 4 4-String Differential SmartReceiver Boards and it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
