« on: December 12, 2002, 03:38:20 pm »
 ???

that is exactly how i feel now.

anyone know how to power up actual arcade monitor..this is the first time i am workin with arcade monitor and have no idea.
here is a pictures where the 3 plug power thing shows..what kind of connecter i have to buy and which is ground,earth,nuteral?the place where i got it from told me that it already had isolation transformer in there.

ANNNNY help would be great !...expecting mamefan,jmdickson and some other monitor folks to come forward.tell me the easiest way to power up and i can figure out the rest with scan converter. :)
thanks again everyone.

Hantarex polo .



left pin is . live
right pin is . neutral

leave the center pin empty the center pin must not be used
atach the earth to one of the two screws nearby in the  metal frame work (should be obvious where it goes) see pic.
are you sure the monitor is 110 volts?
it should say bellow where it says polo.
make sure it dosnt say 220-240
plug it in

wheres your monitor cable?
if you dont already know this is the signal input pinout

6  5  4  3  2  1


1=R
2=G
3=B
4=EARTH
5=VERT .SYNC
6=HORIZ.SYNC OR COMP SYNC

  All of the Hantarex schematics I've found show pins 1 and 3 are 220V AC, and the middle pin is ground.  I don't know where you are, but I expect if you bought it in the US it'd be a 110V version.  As far as the plug, I'm not sure but see if it is a standard 3-pin molex or compatable.

yes...powered up and i am ALIVE :D.

just another q though..

SEE..i hack open a bnc cable right...and i see 2 wires...one is shielded and 1 is naked..
THE naked one is ground right?

Do i need to daisy chain all the ground from the scan converter output then splice every ground to monitors ground?
PLEASE.. :'(..make this thing little clear for me..I am still waiting confirmation so i can hook it up without blowing anything out.thanks for the reply everyone. ::)

P.S. generousben,
dude you are a total pimp..somehow you managed to figure out this was a polo monitor..hehe..thanks again yo. :)
