Power supplies?
 

I have the Hyperion 0610i. I tried hooking a power supply up to it and all it did was light up and had some lines but wouldn't do anything else.

Did I hook this power supply up right? Its a big supply its 12v, 300w max, 25a max ... X2. Like I said its a big power supply for 12v lighting.

So I hooked the black up to 12v COM, and the red to 12 VAC. Didn't work, and the transformer hummed.

Now I see this transformer has a 'Boost tap Connection' for the main power in. Maybe I need to use the boost tap?

Unless anyone knows I'm not using this power supply. I did hook it up to a car battery and it powered up properly.

I think you will be need 12v dc, that may be your problem.

Yeah, if it's 12v AC output, it won't work. You could rectify the AC (with diodes and cap), but then you'd get over 15v DC and I don't know the upper voltage input limit for that charger. You could then regulate the output for a solid 12-13v, but that's probably getting a little complex...

Doh! I seen 12v and I just assumed it was DC oh man.. thanks.

PS Thread hijack - Thanks brian for the PSU guide. - I bought a modular PSU and built a PCIE to deans adapter along with grounding the green control line.

So minimally invasive I can use the PSU again if I need to and looks neat as it is modular... Only $40 too...

Nice. I use a modular PSU as well. Love having all the ports on the PSU to plug chargers into. My PSU does 30A on the 12v rail too, so multiple chargers have not been a problem.

I have the same charger, and I believe its 27v...not 100%, but pretty sure

Sounds like you might need a new charger now. Try hooking it up to a 12v car battery and see if it still works.

11-28v http://media.hyperion.hk/dn/eos/EOS0610iNET-MAN-EN.pdf

OK then, it your current PS is 12v AC (use a voltmeter to verify), go to radioshack and get a few parts to make a rectifier:

- High current bridge rectifier, or build the same thing with individual high current diodes.

- Filter caps. A few of these would work, but expensive. You can get them at various places. Just use something at least 25v and at least 10,000uF total (parallel them to get more capacitance).

Hookup is done like this, minus the regulator (don't pay attention to the component values)...
