Title: 25Khz to 15Khz manual switch - Is it possible ?
Post by: AMIGrAve on January 22, 2004, 10:26:14 am

Hi,

Here's the molex where I can switch from 25Khz to 15Khz.

I would like to know if I make a switch on my control panel in order to be able to switch easily from 15 to 25 Khz, will this hurt the monitor ? I mean, can I damage the monitor when switching from 15Khz to 25 Khz when the monitor is running ?

Don't know---never tried it.

You may be able to use a multi-pole relay (or relays that switch each line.  

Just a thought

But do you think that switching high voltage on a monitor could damage it ?
