DMP XR-20 - NO DC

[Bob La Londe]

I've got an XR-20 with no DC. Well its about 2.8 volts. Battery leads and
Aux power both. I see no fuse on the board anywhere, so I am guessing its
got circuit breakers. Any suggestions? What gets me is AUX and Battery are
both low/dead. Most panels have separate fuses or circuit breakers for the
battery and Aux circuits.

Dont forget to power cycle the board some of the newer PTC thermals
have to have power turned off before they reset. have this problem
with vista 32fb etc bell loop when it shorts you have to power panel
all way dawn and back up and it resets

I do have a good pull on the shelf. I would just replace it with new, but I
doubt DMP would sell to me anymore. Alternatively I would just swap for a
Napco P1632. The system has a couple keypads though so that drives up
equipment costs a little.

Ok, I am looking at my good pull right now. No fuses I can find or fusible
links on the back like FBII either. It doesn't appear to have a single
components bridge rectifier either. Looks like they installed their own
diode ring as there are 4 of them on the board near a modestly large
capacitor. There is also a small diode in that area. No clue what that
would be for except maybe reverse protection. I see a couple components
that "might" be circuit breakers. Maybe I'll punch the numbers on it into
Google later and see what comes up. Lots and lots of transistors, but only
one with a heat sink. Maybe a voltage regulator?

I said the heck with it and replaced it with a newer Napco panel. More
features and modern options available.

Dunno why you always bring up problems like this, then just trash the
panel anyway.
Send me the board I can use it as replacement after I get it
repaird...I'll pay shipping.

LOL.

Bob just likes to sprinkle the group with little bits of his
frustration ..... occasionally ..... every once in a while.

Umm ...... or more often.

I'm guessing it's just the results of a bad fishing day.

Fished Yuma Pro Am today. Finished 2nd. Nothing special. Just a local
club tournament, but it was a blast. The guy I drew for a partner was the
same guy I drew last month when we finished 3rd. At the beginning of the
day I told him that I wouldn't count on another strong finish, but I would
work at it all day. I figured out a pattern and it worked. If we had
capitalized better on our opportunities we had a shot to win. Its our own
fault we didn't. Still 2nd is respectable and it pays for the fuel in the
boat and truck for the day.

Beats the day my fishing mentor had. He lost a trailer tire on the way in.
Only caught two that would measure all day. Lost his trolling motor to a
wave that came over the bow and a stripped clamping bolt. Took the steering
pedal, plug in mounting plate, and two rods with it. At the end of the day
he was so over heated he had to sit down and stop helping with weigh in.
Worse he has guide clients booked this week, and won't be able to get his
trolling motor replaced and boat fixed in time. I did offer him use of my
boat for his clients, but he was pretty down at the end of the day.

My fishing partner referred a custom commercial IT/AV job to me at the end
of the day. Sounds like a fun one if I get it.

P.S. Besides weekend tournaments I like to try and get out a couple
afternoons a week all summer and into the fall. I also make my own CNC cut
bait molds and plastic baits. Our 3 biggest fish and 8 of the 9 fish I
boated today came on one of my baits. (I was fishing for size not numbers.)
I've also made bait molds for small commercial bait makers that are
literally all over the world now.

There's live fish in Yooma?

One or two. And some beautiful scenery too. The best part is I don't have
to fight traffic for thirty minutes to an hour to get to it after work
either. I'll post a slide show for you this evening if I don't go hit one
of my lower river areas with a buddy of mine today after work. He's got a
mud boat, and we can take that places I can only take my smaller boat when
the water is up.
