Can't find Sanwa 29 PFX-A Manual...need help!
« on: March 24, 2009, 04:39:44 pm »
Been googling for this for 3 days and nothing...anyone know where I can get the manual for a Sanwa 29 PFX-A monitor? The issue, I didnt get a power cable with the monitor. I dont know if it works or not. THe seller never sent me the cable and now he appears and tells me hhe's sending the cable not terminated. I guess I have to install each cable from the power cord to where its supposed to go.

If all you're concerned about is that I've got the power wires going to the right place for you, feel free to post some pictures.  I'm sure several others will identify them the same way I have.

Now the blue/brown pair, I can't be certain of, but I'm guessing (and other forums I've seen have also indicated) that it's for a dedicated degauss switch.

Thnx! I did. I also posted some pics of the terminal where the connector is and the power cord is supposed to go to and also the cables that come from it. Need to know what each is for so I can get someone to make a cable for me...thnx!

As I said to you via email, white/gray is AC input, green is earth ground, and blue/brown is some unknown low-power function, likely a degauss switch.

I told you to review things once you got it all hooked up just in case I make your cable backwards, which is a danger when working purely from pictures.  A backwards cable would in this case be very, very bad, so just check that all the colors line up before applying power.

I suggested you should post pictures in here so that somebody can actually answer your question (and the thread will be useful to others).  Somebody can then also verify my analysis to you, in case it makes you feel better.
