[QUOTE="marrull, post: 1167220, member: 421263"] I made some photos of the internals of my unit. One PCB was made in '96 and one in '06 but the sticker on the back of the unit is '09 and firmware is '08 :)) I need some free time to check how it works exactly and also read the complete manual. From what I understood the RC2000 can drive motors between 12VDC and 36VDC and up to 10Amps. There is a small transformer on the back of the unit which by looking at the wires it is the main transformer which powers the electronic boards and the display. The second transformer, the toroidal one, is the one which drives the motors but it is pretty strange Primary winding 2x 120V and Secondary winding 2x 15V. So how does it achieve 12V/24V/36VDC ? It must do some downconversion from 15V to 12V and maybe for 24V some up conversion from one of the Secondary windings and when it needs 36VDC it combines both 15V rails of the Secondary and also makes an upconversion?! Do you guys have the same transformers like I have? I also cannot find a menu how to setup the voltage code for the motors... I read it in the manual but I don't seem to have that menu. [/QUOTE]
