RE: Re: CM12U

["Harry Hendriks" <hja_hendriks@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
I do not have a CM11 but a TW 523. May be the problem is similar?
My experience is that a resister fails (smells and went tot isolation)  and
so replaced it by one with a much higher heat capacity (=>5* the specs
value) .
See  for details of the print lay out (R25) at :
http://www.geocities.com/ido_bartana/modifying_power_line_interface.htm
Note: the indicated heat capaicty is 1watts for 22V installation, I now use
5 watts!!
good luck and be careful,
harry hendriks
