Conclusion HP.UHU

[contactirfu]

This thread will document the successful installation of HP UHU into service.

For me it has been a tremendous success though a bit late bcos of the learning curve.

Here is what I conclude :

1. have the right encoder cable (multistrand twisted pair shielded)
2. Have the right Powersupply (consider 10% + when deciding the voltage)
3. Use a resistor in series when using high rated power supplies for startup which get bypassed after a few seconds.
4. Get Big heat sinks and force cool them if necessary - or you will get drives faulting all the time.
5. Have a lot of patience

IT SURE DOES WORK!

contactirfu,
I'm so glad for you. you've earned your success through lots of effort, sticktoitness, money & the willingness to ask for help. time after time. Keep up the good work. How's the customer base coming ?
I'm moving forward, slowing. I'm trying to follow your example of doing things the right way, waiting on parts when that's required. I'm taking advantage of everyone's willingness to share.
