PUII Voltages

[JohnnyChaos]

I'd always presumed that as the Cheyenne PUII manual states it outputs 5-12v, that when it said the lowest speed (60) on the screen it was putting out 5v and when it said the highest (160) it was putting out 12v.

As I'm running a few other machines now I thought I'd double check it with a multimeter.

These are with a machine attached. The volts varied slightly depending on the machine so these are rough.
But still shows its a much smaller voltage range than expected.

160 = 12.09v
150 = 11.61v
140 = 11.14v
130 = 10.66v
120 = 10.19v
110 = 9.71v
100 = 9.23v
90 = 8.76v
80 = 8.28v
70 = 7.81v
60 = 7.33v

Wait... people move their pu2 of 160!!!???!! Haha I run mine all out all the time!

[JohnnyChaos]

Really? For everything?

Mine tends to stay at 110v with the thunder.

I use

110 - packing colour
120-130 blending/black and grey
140 lining

Yeah, when using the hawk/spirit... all out. Also when using it with my stylus. The thunder I don't use as much, but I guess I do run it more like 140 to 160.
