C-Touch Colour 5000CTC Power Supply

Hi,

I am trying to source a power supply Order Number SPU50-1-S01 for a 1st gen C-Touch 5000CTC. I am finding it difficult to find one. Anyone know where i can find some kind of replacement please?

Best Regards
Paul

 

Thanks Nick. I search for that part and hope i can find one.

 

Hi,

I contacted the manufacturer of the OEM power supply (sinpro taiwan) and they sent me a replacement unit (SPU65-101) which has the same specs of the original V1 power supply. I then got an electrical engineer to change over the cable. The cable remained the same length. He wired the cable as per pin out detailed in the following post:

Pins 1&2 0VDC
Pins 3&4 5.66VDC

I connected the new power supply, and switched the power on. Now on the screen i see the blue light flashing and a clicking sound coming from the c-touch screen.

Anyone know what is going on here?

Regards
Paul

 

Have you made any progress resolving your issue ? I am facing a similar problem with a Ctouch version 2 for which i don't have a power supply. I am powering the device with a lab power supply and I am getting to the same symptoms as you : ethernet LEDs on, screen flicker and clicking sound.

No progress yet. i have given my unit to someone who will power it up with his lab power supply to see what happens. We measured the replacement power supply that we used and it puts out exactly 5.13V. i noticed the back of the unit specifies 5.3V. The original OEM power supply specifies 5V.

 

How did the original PSU fail? I ask because I've got a dead CTC mk1 pulled from a customers installation with similar symptoms and ruring testing, I found out that the PSU brick had a catastrophic failure inside and instead of 5V, the output was > 12V. That overvoltage was enough to kill the CTC motherboard and all you get is the clicking and the LED.

I've got another PSU brick from a different CTC mk1 that had a 3 legged power transistor looking device floating around inside the casing. There is a small gap on the PSU PCB where that component should have gone. It did appear to work properly though despite missing a component and the CTC was only replaced because the touchscreen layer was damaged beyond repair.

 

V1 Likes a little more

When playing with the same issue recently (5000CTC = version 1) I found a very similar power supply (to original) from a reputable manufacturer.
I tried at the 5.3V as advertised on the back of the touch screen and it was clearly not enough, the screen would flash, start to boot, crash and repeat.
Wind it up to 5.6V and it worked like bought one.

 

Hi Matthew

Can you share the make and model of that power supply please?

replacement CTouch Power supply

Hi Paul & All
It is a Meanwell DIN rail SMPS, 5VDC 45Watts, Part# DR4505
Used to be able to buy them at Jaycar, but they discontinued them.
I have a few I keep for spares for my clients, but happy to sell them if you are interested. $110 (inc GST & Tax Invoice) postage extra if required $9.50 anywhere in Aust.

PM me or look me up: Lighting & Integration

 

Ocean Control still sells Meanwell DIN power supplies. I have used these:

They are adjustable 5-6V at 60W and are reasonably priced.

 

ADM Instrument Engineering are also Meanwell distributors.
