AC Wiring Question

DashRendar:
Whoops- I meant isolation transformer, not flyback transformer.  But you understood what I meant.  :lol

Here's a closer look at the PSU (sorry for it being sideways):

Ed_McCarron:
Yup.  Turn off the power, disconnect and safe off those two purple wires landed on AC/L and AC/N and you will have disabled all low voltage.

AC/L = Line, AC/N = Neutral.
RayB:
Dash, you've got it all wrong. The Monitor does NOT get its power from the power supply!

AC from wall -> to power switch -> Isolation transformer - > Monitor
                                                 -> Marquee light
                                                 -> DC power suppy -> game board -> controls

The power supply is strictly for converting AC to DC and powering the DC stuff like the game board and any lightbulbs that may be lighting the coin door.

Yeah, I gave up on his ascii schematic.  I was trying to interpret it as the isolation xformer in the middle, feeding power left and right, with no input shown.  I was probably being generous. :)
DashRendar:
Well, obviously I meant that the AC power fed into the power supply in my ASCII diagram.  I didn't assume it was self-contained power.   ;)

But that's good to know.  The iso transformer will have to remain hooked up for the monitor and marquee light to work.

From reading your flowchart, I should be able to disconnect the PSU completely from the equation.
