I just received my 100 watt Plexi kit, and the wire colors for the Heyboer PT don't seem to match what's on the CD.

The CD has:

B+
blue
yellow
blue

Bias supply
white
green

Heater Supply
green 16 gauge
green w/ yellow
green 16 gauge.


Here's what I've got (bold does not match):

blue
yellow
blue
white
green
green w/ yellow
black 16 gauge (instead of green 16?)
black 16 gauge (instead of green 16?)
red
red

OK, I figure the 16 gauge wires are the green 16 in the diagram. What are the two mystery red wires? Do I just cap them off, or are they important?

BTW: the markings on top of the PT say:
100 WATT PT
HTS-6010-80
022798

I think the two red wires were the higher voltage taps, the two blues being the lower voltage taps and the yellow the center tap (all for the high voltage secondary.) I know we've had a couple of other threads on this recently that would clarify it for you, but I don't remember exactly where they were.

The colors have changed since Mark's pic but you should be able to get the idea.......

I dont't know why I didn't find this last night -- maybe I was searching for "red wire" and not "red tap", but here's the thread that seems to clear this up: http://forum.metroamp.com/viewtopic.php ... +secondary

George is standardizing on a single power transformer that has the dual-voltage option. The reds are ~500v, and the blues are ~400v. If you don't plan on using the the dual-voltage option, then cap off the BLUE 400v wires.

edit: had blue and red switched, and I don't want someone to read this and use the wrong wires.

but do not cut the short. ya never know if yer gonna use them or not.

I was planning on putting screw caps onto the end of the leads and taping them to the inside of the chasis and out of harms way.

you can see that only did itie them off but to PT mounting bracket as well.

thank for posting that wireing diagram ill be needing it in about
a week. and also some good ear plugs, this amps gona be
