Hantarex MTC9000 Degaussing and Isolation

[rchadd]

I am missing one with my monitor. I am thinking of making my own - unless anyone here has a spare one?

I see there is two pin header on the board. I assume switch is simply momentary "push to make" type button that simply shorts the pins to trigger degaussing.

Does it have to be held for duration of the degauss?

Is there actually any power that goes through the switch?

What type of switch is recommended?


Also another sort of related question....

The MTC9000 has VAC inputs of both 120V and 240V (in UK)

Someone told me that 240V is only used for the Degaussing. Is that true?

Can I still use the monitor if I only connect up the 120V VAC input?

This is because I have an isolation transformer that only has 120V output.

Would it be ok to apply non isolated 240V to the monitor?

Yes, 120VAC is correct off the Iso Xformer for US models.


Not sure what you are asking about the degaussing coil.  Is it missing?  If so, you can probably get one from Aubrey at Zanen Electronics.  Their Phone number is: 888.449.2636

Ah, now I understand.   Usually on a monitor with a degaussing button, they are inline with a thermistor.  I have no idea what size you'll need, or where you'd hook it up though.

On the Hantarex MTC9000 degauss is automatic at switch on.  The 120v drives the monitor, the 240v is for the degauss only.  It will work fine if you don't connect the degauss power all this means is that if you rotate it or move the cab you will have to manually degauss the screen.
